About the job

Join a dynamic and well-funded start-up. As a member of our growing team, you'll have the opportunity to wear multiple hats and enjoy significant prospects for both financial and career advancement.

What distinguishes us? We are addressing some of the most pressing challenges in biology today. Our world-class team of engineers, scientists, and problem-solvers is dedicated to creating innovative technologies that will demystify the complexities of biological systems.

This is a rare chance to contribute to a start-up environment while collaborating with a talented and down-to-earth group of individuals who are passionate about what they do.

We are seeking a Staff Technical Program Manager (TPM) to oversee the comprehensive delivery of one or more core development teams focusing on hardware, software, assay, and systems integration workstreams. You will convert complex technical roadmaps into actionable Scrum delivery plans, foster cross-functional collaboration, and utilize AI-driven tools to enhance program transparency, risk management, and team productivity. This highly visible and technical role reports directly to the SVP of Product Development and is based onsite in San Diego, CA.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Take ownership of end-to-end program delivery for one or more core teams, ensuring schedule fidelity, driving cross-functional accountability, and meeting commitments across various functions and workstreams.
  • Utilize your expertise in complex analytical instrument development—including hardware/software co-development cycles, verification and validation protocols, and design controls—to foresee risks related to physical product delivery.
  • Collaborate to implement Cellanome's formal Product Development Process (PDP), including TRL-based stage-gate reviews, phase exit criteria, and artifact delivery.
  • Lead alignment sessions across Software, Hardware, Assay, Systems Integration, Computational Biology, Manufacturing, and Consumables to eliminate cross-functional obstacles.
  • Establish and maintain Definition of Ready (DoR) and Definition of Done (DoD) standards; enhance Scrum processes and ceremonies.
  • Drive gate readiness reviews and track action items to ensure project momentum.
