Job offer | Technical product manager
About our company
Women lack reliable breast cancer (BC) screening methods, as 50% of BCs are detected in a late stage. At The Blue Box, we’ve developed a radiation-free, pain-free, low-cost device detecting breast cancer from volatile organic biomarkers in urine with a sensitivity of 88%. This outperforms mammography by 15% across all age groups and by 30% for women under 50. By 2025, we aim to introduce this solution in gynecology clinics through a software-driven business model.
We are looking for a technical product manager to join our dynamic team and spearhead the technical aspects of our breast cancer diagnostic device development. The ideal candidate will possess a strong technical background, exceptional leadership skills, and a passion for driving innovation in healthcare.

The responsibilities of the technical product manager will be:
- Lead improvements in AI algorithms based on processing and data analysis of clinical examinations gathered with the device.
- Lead troubleshooting efforts and provide technical expertise to resolve complex issues encountered during development.
- Drive innovation and optimization of the diagnostics device technology, leveraging the latest advancements in engineering, biology, and materials science, as well as clinical data for the improvement of AI software diagnostic tools.
- Collaborate with subcontractors and manufacturing partners to set up production lines for the manufacturing of the diagnostic device, ensuring adequate knowledge transfer from the design and development process.
- Define production procedures, protocols, and standards to ensure consistent and efficient manufacturing processes. Define required in-process and end-process controls that will be required to ensure product quality.
- Work closely with the Sales department to manage production rounds, ensure stock availability, and manage production resources to meet client yearly supply requirements.
- Work closely with regulatory affairs to prepare and submit documentation for regulatory approvals and compliance.
- Ensure that all technical aspects of the diagnostic device development adhere to quality standards, regulatory requirements, and industry best practices.
- Lead the technical strategy and roadmap for product development, ensuring alignment with company goals and objectives.
- Address customer complaints and feedback regarding product performance, functionality, or usability, and work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to implement corrective actions and improvements.
- Lead the technical support to customers, clinicians, and end-users, assisting with troubleshooting, installation, training, and maintenance of the diagnostic device.
