Sr. Software Manager, New Indications
About The Position
HistoSonics is expanding the power of histotripsy into new indications across the body. The Sr. Software Manager will own the regulatory compliance pathway for software and build the software engineering capability that takes new indications from first-in-human through commercialization. This role will lead compliance and documentation effort: assessing prototype software against IEC 62304, creating Software Development Plans, software risk management file, and DHF deliverables. As a key strategic partner to cross-functional teams, the Sr. Manager helps advance targeted clinical applications and supports successful product launches across multiple anatomical areas, including but not limited to neurological, abdominal, and women’s health indications. This position is currently an individual contributor role with the opportunity to build and lead a software team as the organization grows.
