The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Head of Product who can own the full product life-cycle—from market validation and reimbursement strategy to integrated system PoC and pilot sales. You will be the connective tissue between R&D, clinical advisors, design, engineering, regulatory, and commercial teams, turning deep science into scalable products and revenue.

• Define and own the end-to-end product strategy and roadmap, integrating market, clinical, regulatory, and technical milestones.
• Validate priority indications, size markets, and shape go-to-market and reimbursement models that maximize clinical and commercial impact.
• Translate scientific breakthroughs into clear product requirements, prototypes, mock-ups, and investor-ready data packages.
• Build and manage a pipeline of letters of intent, pilot sites, and early customers across pharma, CROs, clinical, research, and healthy-consumer segments.
• Orchestrate cross-functional execution: run agile sprints, maintain product dashboards and documentation, and deliver nanoparticle, hardware, and software proof-of-concepts.
• Establish and chair a Product Advisory Board that injects clinical, technical, and market insight into decision-making.
• Craft compelling narratives for investors, partners, and customers that communicate roadmap, milestones, and long-term singularity vision.
• Hire, mentor, and scale a high-performing product team as the company grows.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a relevant field (Engineering, Product Management, or Business).
• 8+ years of product leadership in med-tech, neurotech, digital health, or adjacent deep-tech fields
• Proven record of taking complex hardware-plus-software medical or research products from concept to market launch
• Track record securing LOIs, pilots, or early sales with pharma, CROs, or clinical buyers
• Hands-on knowledge of reimbursement dynamics and how to integrate it into product positioning
• Fluent working in regulated environments and collaborating with scientific & regulatory teams
• Data-driven decision-maker with expertise in market sizing and pricing models
• Exceptional communicator who can craft investor stories, pilot proposals, and product docs—and inspire cross-functional teams to ship
• Fluent English
• Location: Palo Alto, CA
