Its platform integrates implantable neural interfaces, adaptive algorithms, and assistive devices to translate neural intent into real-world action.\nThe company’s initial focus is stroke-related motor impairment, with expansion into cognitive decline and other neurological disorders to provide long-term solutions for the growing aging population.\nThe Role\nThe software behind our platform spans embedded firmware, patient- and clinician-facing device applications, machine learning, and cloud infrastructure for model training and data management.\nWe are looking for a Technical Project Manager, Software & Firmware to drive planning and execution for software and firmware projects supporting our implantable brain-computer interface (BCI) system. You will work closely with engineering leads to turn technical priorities into executable project plans, manage schedules and dependencies, surface risks and tradeoffs, and keep projects moving through development, integration, verification, and release.\nAs Epia’s development program grows, this role has the opportunity to take on broader ownership across our software program.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn project planning and execution for software and firmware initiatives, from kickoff through development, integration, verification, and release.\n\nBuild and own project schedules, milestones, dependencies, and risks. Keep plans current as priorities and technical realities change, drive replanning when needed, and escalate early when dependencies or risks threaten a milestone.\n\nRun the planning and delivery cadence using Jira and Confluence, including sprint planning support, milestone tracking, dashboards, and clear project status reporting to engineering and company leadership.\n\nPartner closely with Software and Firmware engineering leads to translate technical priorities into executable plans, surface tradeoffs and resource constraints, and drive timely resolution of blockers. Technical leads own the technical decisions; you own the plan and its execution.\n\nDrive the planning and completion of regulated software deliverables with Quality and Regulatory, including IEC 62304 lifecycle documentation, cybersecurity documentation, reviews, and traceability. Quality owns the process; you make sure engineering delivers into it.\n\nManage cross-functional dependencies with our Hardware and Research program management counterparts, Quality, Regulatory, and other teams, ensuring software and firmware projects remain aligned with broader device, clinical, and regulatory milestones.\n\nQualifications\n3-5+ years of technical project management experience on product-development teams building software, firmware, or embedded systems, including integration, verification, and release.\n\nDemonstrated ability to drive technical projects from planning through execution, including schedule ownership, dependency management, risk management, and escalation.\n\nProven ability to partner effectively with technical leads and cross-functional teams while keeping clear ownership of the plan and schedule.\n\nFluency with Jira and Confluence, or equivalent project management tools.\n\nStrong written and verbal communication skills. You can turn a messy technical status into a clear summary that engineers and company leadership can act on.\n\nComfort with ambiguity. We are a startup and many of our processes are being built as we go. You want to help build them, not just inherit them.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience in regulated medical-device software development, including IEC 62304, design controls, design history file deliverables, or equivalent experience in another regulated or safety-critical industry such as aerospace or automotive.\n\nProject management experience with embedded or firmware development, including hardware-dependent scheduling and HW/SW integration.\n\nExposure to medical-device cybersecurity documentation, FDA premarket cybersecurity guidance, or SBOM management.\n\nExperience supporting FDA submissions such as IDE, PMA, or 510(k).\n\nFamiliarity with machine learning development workflows or cloud infrastructure.\n\nHow We Work\nWe are intentional. We prioritize and are thoughtful about how we use others’ time.\n\nWe care for others. We prioritize safety, both for patients and one another.\n\nWe own outcomes, not just tasks. Our work demands the highest standards because it impacts real patients and real lives.\n\nHumility is a strength. We are honest about what we know and what we don’t know. Getting it right matters more than being right.\n\nBenefits\nFull-time employees are eligible for the following benefits:\nCompetitive base salary with equity\n\n100% of healthcare coverage for you and your dependents\n\nGenerous vacation policy\n\nPaid parental leave\n\nWork from our waterfront office in Alameda, CA, with access to collaborative spaces and labs","description_format":"text","description_chars":5006,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Generous vacation","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Information Security","Neurotech & Neuromodulation"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-18T08:13:55Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 7","filings_12m":7,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":212500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":74,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.823,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":31,"expected_fill_days":70,"reasons":["conf:2","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-19T05:45:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":165000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/epia-neuro-technical-project-manager-software-firmware","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/epia-neuro-technical-project-manager-software-firmware.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-19T13:08:42Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":9350,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-20T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":673459},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=673459"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fepia-neuro-technical-project-manager-software-firmware"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fepia-neuro-technical-project-manager-software-firmware"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fepia-neuro-technical-project-manager-software-firmware"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/epia-neuro-technical-project-manager-software-firmware\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fepia-neuro-technical-project-manager-software-firmware"}]}
