At Edwards Lifesciences, the Implantable Heart Failure Management (IHFM) AI, Product and Platforms organization designs and builds the software and data products that clinicians and patients depend on. As a Senior Technical Product Manager, you co-own product strategy and roadmap with Marketing for a single product area, one application or one platform service area, translating the marketing requirements and writing the technical requirements yourself and partnering with engineering as a credible technical peer who can argue API design and architecture choices.
Based in Irvine, CA, you'll join a high-impact medtech innovation hub in the heart of Orange County, collaborating in person with cross-functional teams to shape patient-focused technology.
How you'll make an impact
Product strategy and roadmap. Co-own strategy and roadmap with Marketing for a single product area (one application or one platform service area), from problem definition through shipped, measured outcomes.
Requirements, written yourself. Personally, author detailed technical product requirements with appropriate specificity, and participate substantively in architecture reviews.
Prioritization tradeoffs. Own the calls within your area: feature build vs. tech debt, depth vs. breadth, refactor vs. ship.
Outcomes, measured. Measure results through both business metrics (adoption, retention, conversion) and technical metrics (latency, reliability, defect rate).
Technical partnership. Partner closely with engineering tech leads as a peer who argues architecture, not just a stakeholder who files tickets.
Discovery and evidence. Run customer discovery and synthesize feedback and product analytics into roadmap decisions, using tools such as Productboard, Pendo, Dovetail, and Amplitude.
Design control. Author requirements that stand as software design inputs under 21 CFR 820.30(c) and IEC 62304, with acceptance criteria that become verification criteria for regulated products.
What you’ll need (Required):
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field and 8 years of hands-on experience managing projects of increasing complexity, or equivalent work experience based on Edwards criteria.
Demonstrated experience owning product strategy and roadmap for a technical software product area, from discovery through shipped and measured outcomes.
Proven ability to author detailed, testable technical product and feature requirements, including acceptance criteria.
Sufficient technical depth to understand code, system designs, APIs, and architecture tradeoffs and effectively partner with engineering teams.
Strong knowledge of software design control practices in regulated environments, including 21 CFR 820.30, IEC 62304, and design change control.
What else we look for (Preferred):
Experience with regulated products (SaMD, medical devices, or another regulated domain) and design control practice.
A prior engineering background, or hands-on familiarity with the application and platform stack (APIs, cloud services, mobile or web).
Experience partnering with UX Design and Marketing Product Management on shared product decisions.
Familiarity with product analytics instrumentation and experimentation.
Aligning our overall business objectives with performance, we offer competitive salaries, performance-based incentives, and a wide variety of benefits programs to address the diverse individual needs of our employees and their families.
For California (CA), the base pay range for this position is $121,000 to $171,000 (highly experienced).

Edwards Lifesciences Insights
What We Do
Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE: EW), is the global leader in patient-focused medical innovations for structural heart disease, as well as critical care and surgical monitoring. We thrive on discovery and expanding the boundaries of medical technology, serving patients in 100+ countries, with the help of our employees in areas including Clinical Affairs, Quality Engineering, Research & Development, Regulatory Affairs, Sales & Marketing, corporate functions and more. Our roots date back to 1958 when Miles Lowell Edwards, a retired engineer with a background in hydraulics and fuel pump operations, set out to build the first artificial heart. Edwards believed the heart could be mechanized and was encouraged by Dr. Albert Starr to focus on developing an artificial heart valve. After just two years, the first Starr-Edwards mitral valve was developed and successfully placed in a patient. This innovation spawned Edwards Laboratories. Miles’ fascination with healing the heart and helping patients with heart disease stemmed from his own experience with rheumatic fever as a teenager and continues to fuel our patient-first culture today. Today, we are as passionate about providing innovative solutions for people fighting cardiovascular disease as we have ever been. It's our Credo. It takes integrity, collaboration, innovation, and focus. We are leaders in the design and manufacture of tissue replacement heart valves and repair products as well as advanced hemodynamic monitoring. We partner with physicians to innovate products designed to help patients live longer, healthier, and more productive lives. Our work is both rewarding and a privilege. The importance of what we do defines our approach. We work together to create an environment where ideas can flourish and we provide our people with the resources, expertise and support to bring those ideas to life.
