Are you a technical project manager who thrives on leading multiple projects simultaneously? Join smartQare and help shape the future of connected health. Our medically certified solutions, viQtor and Healthdot, are already used by hospitals across the Netherlands, Europe and South Africa. As our Technical Project Manager, you support the multidisciplinary teams in all projects, such as the next generation of viQtor, guiding its journey from concept through development to a scalable, certified medical device product, across embedded software, interoperability, verification & validation, and quality and regulatory workstreams. You work with internal teams as well as external development and manufacturing partners.
This is not a light role: we're looking for a team player with the drive to get processes moving and see them through to the finish line. You bring clarity and structure to complex, parallel projects, while staying creative in close collaboration with our QARA colleagues. At the same time, as a true team player you stand alongside your colleagues, not above them, and get things done in a friendly, calm and respectful way in which you also contribute on (technical) documentation or other content related items when necessary. Every deadline you hit and every process you smooth out brings us one step closer to our mission: implementing the best possible care solutions for patients and healthcare professionals.
Your responsibilities include:
Plan, coordinate and monitor multiple technical R&D projects in parallel, from initiation to delivery.
Own the trade-offs in time, budget and scope for the viQtor hardware program - because not everything can be done at once.
Write clear, actionable project plans with defined milestones, deliverables and timelines.
Contribute to technical documentation and work closely with our QARA colleagues to keep projects compliant with MDR, CFR and ISO 13485.
Drive an Agile way of working across cross-functional teams, with short, effective stand-ups instead of a meeting culture.
Safeguard deadlines, flag risks early and escalate issues to the right stakeholders at the right time.
Manage relationships with technology partners.
Report on project progress and risks, and keep project administration, planning and resourcing up to date.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (HBO/WO) in a technical field such as Engineering, Industrial Design or a related discipline.
Proven experience as a (technical) project manager, preferably in medtech, software, hardware or another regulated environment.
Experience working in Agile project environments.
Strong skills in writing project plans and technical documentation.
Knowledge of medical device regulations such as MDR, CFR and ISO 13485, including Design Control, the V-model, Verification & Validation, Risk Management, Change Control and product lifecycle management.
A structured, deadline-driven mindset combined with the creativity to solve problems together with your team.
Comfortable escalating issues early and decisively while collaborating in an international, multidisciplinary environment.
Fluent in Dutch and English, both written and spoken.
A hands-on mentality: you get things moving, and you finish what you start.
A key role in a fast-growing, mission-driven healthtech scale-up, with direct impact on products that improve care for patients and reduce workload for healthcare professionals.
A competitive salary, depending on level and experience, plus participation in our SAR (Stock Appreciation Rights) program, sharing in smartQare's future value creation.
A one-year contract with the prospect of a permanent position.
A 32 to 40-hour workweek based at our office in Eindhoven, with flexible working hours.
25 vacation days (based on full-time), with the option to purchase extra days.
Travel expenses are covered, including the option of an NS Business Card.
An international environment with exciting technology and regulatory challenges, and room to shape your own way of working.
Besides challenging projects and our mission to shape the future of healthcare, smartQare offers even more. We operate internationally, which brings interesting challenges in the areas of regulatory affairs, connectivity, and hospital implementation. No two days are the same!

What We Do
smartQare develops continuous patient-monitoring solutions for care across hospitals, the transition from hospital to home, and patients' homes. Its approach replaces intermittent spot checks and multiple devices with real-time monitoring that turns vital-sign data into trends and notifications for care teams. By integrating with existing clinical information systems and EHRs, the company aims to help caregivers recognize health changes sooner, make informed decisions, work more efficiently, and deliver timely care.
