Based in San Diego, we’re the team behind Pivot™, an FDA-cleared tubeless insulin patch pump designed for people who haven’t found their fit with traditional pumps. With about 50 employees, individual contributions make a visible difference here. Your ideas get heard, your work helps shape our products, and your impact reaches beyond the office into someone’s everyday life. If you like big challenges, small teams, and work with a clear purpose, we’d love to hear from you.\nThe Role\nGood plans matter. Moving them forward takes someone who can connect the technical details, the people, and the decisions. As Senior Project Manager, you’ll lead medical device development and sustaining projects from planning through launch, helping our teams turn complex work into clear priorities and measurable progress.\nThis is a hands-on role in a lean, fast-paced organization. You’ll take ownership of active projects, establish credible execution plans, and work closely with Engineering, Quality, Regulatory, Clinical, and Operations to deliver results. You’ll have the independence to manage your work, the responsibility to surface risks early, and the opportunity to shape how we execute as we grow.\nWhat You’ll Do\nLead multiple projects across new product development, software releases, and sustaining changes, from scope and resource planning through verification and validation, design transfer, launch readiness, and closure.\nAssess active projects, clarify commitments and open issues, and align teams on a practical execution plan with clear owners and completion criteria.\nBuild and maintain integrated schedules with dependencies, critical paths, and milestones. Track actual progress and drive recovery plans when commitments are at risk.\nLead cross-functional teams through design-control phase gates, design reviews, and key decisions. Partner with functional owners and Quality to keep required deliverables and development records complete and audit-ready.\nIdentify risks early, develop mitigation plans, and manage budgets, spending forecasts, and resource demand. Recommend priorities and trade-offs across scope, schedule, cost, and quality.\nGive senior leadership concise status updates, escalating decisions with clear options and a recommendation. Run focused meetings, document actions, and follow through until issues are resolved.\nCoordinate hardware, embedded software, and mobile app dependencies, aligning Agile development activities with controlled release milestones.\nApply practical project management tools and methods across engineering teams. Support post-market sustaining work, engineering changes, and CAPA-related initiatives while meeting applicable regulatory and company quality requirements.\nWhat You’ll Bring\nA bachelor’s degree in engineering, science, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.\nAt least 6 years of project or program management experience, including at least 4 years directly leading cross-functional medical device product development projects under design controls.\nA record of taking ownership of active projects and delivering results with limited day-to-day supervision. You can explain your contributions, delivery outcomes, and how you adjusted when plans changed.\nHands-on experience with medical device design and development controls, including phase gates, design reviews, verification and validation, change control, and development documentation; familiarity with ISO 13485 and working knowledge of ISO 14971 risk management.\nExperience leading medical device projects through development, verification and validation, design transfer, and launch, including budget and resource tracking and coordination of deliverables for regulated submissions or releases.\nProficiency building and maintaining integrated schedules in Microsoft Project or an equivalent tool, such as Smartsheet or Jira; experience with Excel, PowerPoint, Jira/Confluence or similar tools, and an electronic QMS or controlled document system.\nClear, persuasive communication, from engineering working sessions to executive briefings, and the ability to influence and align teams without direct authority.\nSound judgment, structured problem-solving, and strong organization. You’re comfortable managing competing priorities, respectfully challenging unsupported estimates, securing clear commitments, and holding yourself and others accountable for follow-through.\nA steady commitment to patient safety and product quality.\nExperience That Sets You Apart\nAn advanced degree or PMP or equivalent certification.\nAgile/Scrum experience on software or connected-device projects, including CSM or PSM certification.\nExperience with electromechanical, wearable, or drug-delivery devices.\nExperience working in a startup or growing organization.\nWork Environment\nThis full-time role is based onsite in San Diego, California, with travel up to 20%. The position requires the ability to sit or stand for extended periods and lift or move up to 35 pounds, with or without reasonable accommodation.\nEqual Opportunity\nModular Medical, Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
