\n
\nAbout Apricity Robotics:
\n
\nApricity Robotics is a Series A medical robotics company developing the next generation of FDA-cleared robotic ultrasound devices. We are a growing team operating at the intersection of hardware engineering, AI, and clinical medicine — moving quickly through R&D, usability engineering, and regulatory preparation. This is a pivotal moment in the company's growth and a unique opportunity to be part of building something from the ground up.
\n
\nThe Role:
\n
\nThe Product Manager is the connective tissue between clinical reality, engineering execution, and regulatory compliance at Apricity. You will own the product requirements process, drive our Human Factors Engineering (HFE) documentation, and manage our third-party UX/UI consultancy — all while keeping a clear line of sight to what it takes to get this product through an FDA submission. This is not a backlog-management role. You will need to develop the product vision, defend it, and evolve it based on what you learn from sonographers and clinical partners in the field. You report directly to the CEO and work closely with the VP of Engineering, Director of Clinical Affairs, and SVP of Strategy and Partnerships.
\n
\nWhat You'll Own
\n
\nProduct Requirements & Roadmap\n

Develop and maintain the product requirements document (PRD) and feature roadmap, translating clinical user needs and engineering constraints into clear, prioritized specifications
Lead structured requirements-gathering sessions with clinical and strategic partners.
Own the product backlog in coordination with the VP of Engineering, ensuring alignment between roadmap priorities and sprint execution
Serve as the primary internal point of contact for all product definition questions across engineering, clinical, and commercial teams

\nHuman Factors Engineering (HFE)\n\n

Own the HFE file end-to-end — the core regulatory artifact connecting all UI and interaction design decisions to FDA submission readiness
Document the rationale for all significant design decisions with full traceability back to user needs and use error analysis
Coordinate with the Director of Clinical Affairs to plan and execute formative usability studies, and ensure findings are properly integrated into the design record
Maintain alignment with IEC 62366-1 and FDA Human Factors guidance throughout the development cycle
Prepare and maintain the use error analysis, task analysis, and summative study planning documentation required for submission

\nConsultancy Management\n\n

Serve as the day-to-day owner and internal point of contact for our third-party UX/UI and industrial design consultancies
Define design briefs, review deliverables, and ensure that consultancy output aligns with clinical workflow realities and regulatory requirements
Drive the internal and external user speed parity milestones and own the design milestones on the product roadmap
Ensure all design decisions made by the consultancy are documented in the HFE file with appropriate traceability

\nClinical & Commercial Alignment\n\n

Partner with the Director of Clinical Affairs to ensure product decisions reflect real sonographer and clinical workflow needs
Synthesize feedback from live site deployments into actionable, prioritized product insights
Support the SVP of Strategy and Partnerships with product positioning for OEM and strategic partner discussions
Represent the product clearly and credibly in investor and partner conversations as needed

\nWhat We're Looking For\n\n

3–7 years of experience in a product management or clinical product role at an FDA-regulated medical device company
Direct familiarity with IEC 62366 and FDA Human Factors guidance; has owned or contributed to an HFE file before
Clinical environment exposure — has spent meaningful time in clinical settings and understands how sonographers, radiologists, or imaging technicians actually work
Technical fluency sufficient to hold substantive conversations with software and robotics engineers without translation — can read a spec, a system diagram, or a requirements matrix
Early-stage company experience — comfortable operating without fully formed processes and able to build product infrastructure from scratch
Regulatory awareness — understands how product decisions create or resolve regulatory risk and has worked alongside QRA teams on design controls or a QMS
Strong written communication skills — the HFE file, the PRD, and partner-facing product materials all flow through this role
Experience managing an external UX or design consultancy is a plus
Ultrasound, radiology, or medical imaging background — either clinical or product-side — is a strong differentiator

\n
\nWhat Success Looks Like in Year One\n\n

A complete, traceable HFE file is in place and audit-ready, covering use error analysis, formative study findings, and design rationale — with no gaps that would delay submission
Product requirements are documented, maintained, and understood across engineering, clinical, and commercial teams; no one is building to ambiguous specs
The UX/UI consultancy is operating effectively with clear briefs and design decisions that are documented and tied back to clinical user needs
Internal and external user speed parity milestones are hit on schedule, supported by structured feedback from clinical site deployments
The leadership team describes you as someone who has meaningfully accelerated their ability to execute — not just someone who coordinates

\nCompensation
\n
\n$131,000 - $165,000 base salary commensurate with experience, full benefits, and equity participation. This role has a genuine growth path — as Apricity scales through clearance and into commercialization, so does your scope and seniority.
\n
\nBenefits\n\n

Equity: Company stock options
Insurance Coverage: medical, dental, and vision insurance available
Time Off:\n\t
- Flexible, unlimited PTO
- 10 company holidays, including a winter shutdown
\n\t
Relocation assistance is available to move you near our Dublin, Ohio office.
