Technical Project Manager, Science

We’re looking for a Technical Project Manager to join our Science team in the United States. In this role, you'll manage the cross-functional R&D process behind new health sensing capabilities — partnering with Science, Hardware, Firmware, Software, and Product to keep complex programs on track from planning through execution.

What You Will Do:

• Own integrated project plans for R&D efforts — timelines, milestones, risks, dependencies, and decision paths for Science.
• Partner with scientists, technical and program managers, and functional leaders to translate scientific and sensing needs into clear requirements, interfaces, and escalation paths — working with technical leads to resolve ambiguous or high-judgment calls.
• Coordinate hand-offs across teams and negotiate commitments people can actually hit.
• Apply working knowledge of algorithm development practices and hardware build-and-test cycles to spot readiness gaps across testing, validation, and readiness reviews, and turn them into concrete, actionable requirements in partnership with the relevant technical owner.
• Surface risks early and drive decisions to closure across R&D initiatives.
• Maintain clear ownership and change tracking for protocols, specifications, and readiness criteria within your program's scope.
• Contribute to improving how Science runs projects — cutting duplication, standardizing only where it reduces friction.

This is a remote US role with a slight preference for candidates based in San Francisco or San Diego.

What you'll bring

• 4+ years leading scientific or technical projects, with clear ownership of milestones, dependencies, risks, and cross-functional execution within a defined program scope.
• Experience managing projects in a scientific, engineering, or product-validation environment; human-subjects research and/or wearable tech experience is strongly preferred.
• Working knowledge of algorithm development practices and hardware build-and-test cycles sufficient to spot readiness gaps across testing, validation, and readiness reviews and translate them into concrete requirements — with support from technical leads on ambiguous or high-stakes calls.
• Comfortable negotiating timelines against real team capacity, clarifying ownership, and pushing back constructively.
• Experience working across international, distributed teams — including flexing hours to collaborate with European colleagues.
• Strong attention to detail, with a track record of clear documentation — decision logs, risk registers, readiness trackers, or similar artifacts that keep cross-functional teams aligned without you in the room.
• Technical degree, or equivalent experience demonstrating strong technical fluency in a scientific/engineering environment.
