Principal Technical Program Manager

This highly visible principal individual contributor role requires the ability to move between organizational strategy, engineering detail, and hands-on implementation. You will independently lead ambiguous, cross-functional programs, translate business and regulatory needs into technical requirements, and build tooling that reduces manual work and improves delivery.

You will work closely with Engineering, Product, Quality, Legal, and Regulatory Affairs to integrate medical device requirements into development and operational workflows. A key focus will be using automation to improve requirements tracking, documentation, evidence collection, and readiness for regulatory reviews, audits, certifications, and product releases.

As a strategic partner to the Director of Operations, you will also support organizational planning, resource allocation, and executive decision-making. Success requires technical depth, sound judgment, and the ability to influence senior stakeholders while delivering measurable improvements across teams.
