We are searching for the best talent for a R&D Project Manager role, to join our team located in Yokneam, Israel.
Purpose: Our R&D organization is developing the company’s next‑generation medical device platforms. We are seeking a highly skilled Software‑focused R&D Project Manager with solid experience in commercial medical device development, to lead the delivery of a large‑scale, multi‑module system from definition through global launch.
This role is not a research‑prototype PM role—it is a commercial, full‑lifecycle ownership role with significant cross‑functional influence.
The position requires strong technical depth, excellent matrix‑leadership capabilities, and the ability to manage multiple engineering disciplines while driving clarity, decisions, and execution across a complex medical software ecosystem.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the development of a large‑scale commercial software product, consisting of multiple modules, integrations, and system components.
Drive cross‑functional delivery across Software Engineering, System Engineering, System Integration, SQA, Quality, and Regulatory Affairs.
Build and maintain detailed project plans, timelines, dependencies, and critical paths.
Lead matrix teams without direct authority; set priorities, remove obstacles, and drive alignment across disciplines.
Own end‑to‑end LCM for a medical software product—from concept to launch, including V&V, pre‑clinical activities, and post‑market versions.
Collaborate closely with Quality, Systems, and Regulatory teams to support FDA submissions and regional product registrations.
Coordinate integration activities across multiple engineering teams and external contractors.
Work closely with senior leadership to communicate status, risks, opportunities, and decision frameworks.
Qualifications and Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field.
5+ years of project management experience in medical device software development (commercial, not research).
Experience leading large, multi‑module systems with multiple teams.
Hands‑on experience with LCM of medical software products, including V&V, risk management, and design controls.
Practical experience supporting or contributing to FDA submissions (510(k), De Novo, PMA) and regulatory documentation.
Strong decision‑making skills under uncertainty, with the ability to balance technical, regulatory, and business trade‑offs.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills; high proficiency in English.
Proven ability to drive matrix organizations without direct reporting authority.
