About the role
About Us
Vena Vitals is on a mission to transform patient care through better cardiovascular monitoring. We make a small wearable device that monitors blood pressure continuously. Unlike other blood pressure monitors that only take a snapshot in time, we record the entire dynamic movie to track continuous changes to guide life-saving patient care. We plan to become the most accurate and actionable cardiovascular monitoring and management system to help improve lives of over a billion patients across the world each year.
Job Description
We are seeking a R&D Process & Manufacturing Manager to lead and expand our sensor fabrication operations. In this startup environment, the role combines leadership with hands-on involvement. This role will oversee the optimization and production of our next-generation continuous blood pressure monitoring sensors, to ensure quality, scalability, and compliance with medical device standards. In addition to managing day-to-day operations, the Manager is expected to be in the lab developing and improving processes, running experiments, troubleshooting issues, and fabricating sensors.
Responsibilities
- Oversee day-to-day operations of the sensor fabrication facility, including scheduling, resource planning, and capacity management.
- Hands-on involvement in the manufacturing production of sensors.
- Troubleshoot and resolve sensor fabrication issues and implement corrective and preventative actions.
- Manage and mentor a team of technicians/operators.
- Establish and maintain metrics (yield, throughput, cost, downtime) to monitor performance and guide improvements to processes.
- Contribute to long-term sensor fabrication strategy, including vendor selection, automation, and capacity expansion.
- Lead process scale-up from R&D prototypes to pilot manufacturing and full production.
