{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Clinical Product Lead, Echocardiography","description":"About the Company
\nOur client is building a robotic system for cardiac ultrasound. The system holds the probe during a transthoracic echocardiogram while the sonographer steers it with a force-feedback controller. The goal is simple: one more scan per sonographer per day, with less physical strain.
\n
\nThe company is an early-stage, venture-backed medical device company in Columbus, Ohio. The system is in clinical studies today, and the team is preparing for an FDA 510(k) submission.
\n
\nThe role
\nYou will be the echo clinician inside the product team. You will make sure the system is designed around how sonographers and echo labs actually work, and you will help the team decide what is clinically and practically feasible before committing to build it.
\n
\nThis is a product development role, not a sales role. You will report to the Director of Product and work every day with engineers, the clinical research team, clinical advisors and strategic partners.
\n
\nThe first robots for hospital sites are expected in mid-2027. Until then, your work centers on the office, usability studies and early site visits. From mid-2027, more of your time moves to the first pilot sites.

Who you work with	Engineers, product, clinical research, clinical advisors, strategic partners	Sonographers, echo lab managers, cardiologists, hospital leaders
What you do	Work hands-on with the robot and controller; run usability sessions; turn clinical feedback into requirements; support partner workflow work	Observe and measure echo lab workflow; assess site feasibility; test what is realistic in a working lab; support first placements
What it produces	A product designed around real sonographer workflow	A clear, honest view of what a pilot can deliver, before it is promised

\n
\nWhat you will do\n\n

Be the voice of the sonographer in product decisions: workflow, ergonomics, setup, training
Turn clinical observations into clear user needs and design inputs, working within established design controls
Run and support formative usability studies with sonographers, and help recruit participants
Work side by side with engineers to test the robot and controller and give fast, specific feedback
Measure today's echo lab workflow at partner and prospective pilot sites, setting the baseline for measuring the system’s impact
Assess pilot site feasibility (room, machine, staffing, scheduling, IRB readiness) and help define what each pilot can realistically deliver
Work with strategic partners on clinical workflow and the user experience
Support robot placements and sonographer training at the first sites from mid-2027, and measure results against baseline
Help the clinical research team identify and prepare sites for a multi-site clinical trial
Contribute clinical input to labeling, instructions for use, training materials and human factors work for the FDA submission

\nWhat you bring\n\n

A registered cardiac sonographer credential (RDCS or RCS) and at least five years scanning adult transthoracic echocardiograms
Lead sonographer, technical director or echo lab manager experience preferred
Experience working with industry, such as clinical applications, product or R&D clinical roles at an ultrasound or cardiology device company, or vendor evaluations and usability studies from the hospital side
Enjoys working with engineers and can turn clinical observations into specific, testable requirements
Experience with research studies, IRBs or usability testing
Clear, honest communication, including saying when something is not feasible
Ability to work from the Columbus, Ohio office and travel to sites

\nNice to have\n\n

Exposure to human factors or usability engineering for medical devices
Experience with design controls in a regulated product team
Relationships with Midwest health systems and echo leaders
Experience with cardio-oncology or other serial imaging programs

\nWhat the company offers\n\n

Base salary: $105,000 to $130,000
Meaningful equity in a venture-backed medical device company
Health benefits
A new office in Columbus, Ohio, and a small, in-person team that moves quickly
