GPDP Project Manager

This role will be onsite at Stafford, TX

Ready to lead breakthrough innovation in the operating room? We’re looking for a driven, technically savvy GPDP Project Manager to take ownership of complex, next‑generation OR Integration products—spanning software platforms, hardware systems, A/V solutions, and cutting‑edge medical technologies.

If you thrive on orchestrating cross‑functional teams, simplifying complexity, and delivering high‑impact products that truly matter in surgical environments, this role gives you that stage and the authority to lead.

Why This Role Matters

You will be the single owner of delivery —the person who brings clarity, momentum, and structure to a multi‑disciplinary global team. Your work directly shapes the products surgeons rely on every day. You won’t just coordinate, drive , influence, and elevate teams across engineering, manufacturing, quality, and product strategy.

What You’ll Do

• Lead end‑to‑end project execution (feasibility → pilot builds → manufacturing).
• Build and manage schedules, risks, dependencies, and cost targets.
• Drive cross‑functional workstreams across global teams.
• Serve as Product Owner within Agile Product Owner Teams.
• Oversee engineering deliverables (software, hardware, systems, A/V).
• Coordinate BOMs, drawings, part numbering, and long‑lead procurement.
• Communicate status and risks to leadership and stakeholders.
• Support manufacturing ramp, field deployment, and sustaining efforts.
• Ensure compliance with GPDP, QMS, regulatory, and cybersecurity processes.

What You Bring

• 5–7+ years managing complex hardware + software development projects.
• Bachelor’s in engineering or equivalent technical PM experience.
• Experience with GPDP/stage‑gate + Agile environments.
• Strong understanding of integrated systems and engineering lifecycles.
• Excellent communication, leadership, and cross‑functional coordination.

Preferred

• 8–10+ years experience in PM or engineering.
• PMP/IPMA/Agile certification.
• Medical device or regulated development experience.
• Experience leading global engineering teams.
