We're a collaborative, mission-driven team of 33 working in a medical device regulatory environment to bring this technology to the millions of patients who can benefit.


POSITION SUMMARY

The Head of Operations and Manufacturing will own the end-to-end operational infrastructure required to bring Ripple's FDA-regulated cuffless blood pressure monitor to market and scale production. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives building from zero to one in a regulated environment: selecting contract manufacturers, standing up supply chains compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 820, establishing ISO 13485-certified quality management systems, and preparing for direct-to-patient fulfillment.

Supply Chain & Procurement

  • Build and manage the end-to-end supply chain, including component sourcing, supplier qualification, and inventory management per FDA purchasing controls.
  • Develop supplier relationships and negotiate terms while ensuring supply continuity, traceability, and risk mitigation.
  • Implement inventory planning to balance working capital with service levels, including buffer strategies for Year 1 launch.
  • Monitor and mitigate supply chain risks: component shortages, single-source dependencies, geopolitical factors, and logistics disruptions.

Quality & Regulatory Compliance

  • Maintain and improve the ISO 13485-certified QMS in partnership with the quality and regulatory team, ensuring FDA 21 CFR Part 820 compliance.
  • Support 510(k) submission activities related to manufacturing, including process validation documentation, DMR development, and device history records (DHR).
  • Define incoming inspection, in-process controls, and final product testing consistent with the risk management file.
  • Manage product certifications for a Class II device, including FDA registration, UDI compliance, and applicable international requirements.
  • Lead root cause analysis and CAPA for quality issues, ensuring post-market surveillance compliance.

Fulfillment & Logistics

  • Design the direct-to-patient fulfillment strategy, including 3PL selection with FDA-cleared Class II device experience.
  • Establish logistics and distribution for nationwide shipping of a regulated device with chain-of-custody and traceability.
  • Develop returns, replacement, and warranty processes that balance patient experience, cost, and compliance.

Team & Organizational Development

  • Start as an individual contributor who executes hands-on, then build and lead the operations team through 510(k) clearance and commercial launch.
  • Establish operational metrics and dashboards for manufacturing, supply chain, and quality performance.
  • Partner with finance on cost modeling, COGS optimization, and operational budgeting.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, software, regulatory, and commercial teams.


QUALIFICATIONS

  • 7-12 years in manufacturing, operations, or supply chain, with 3-5+ years in medical devices (Class II preferred), wearables, or regulated hardware.
  • Experience managing contract manufacturers for regulated medical devices, preferably in Asia and/or domestically.
  • Experience at or with CMs/EMS providers (Flex, Jabil, Celestica, Plexus, Sanmina) in Class II medical device or wearable programs is a strong plus.
  • Track record of design transfer and scaling production from pilot to volume for regulated products.
  • ISO 13485 and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 experience required.
  • Familiarity with the 510(k) process and manufacturing documentation (process validations, DMR/DHR) strongly preferred.
  • Bachelor's in Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations, Biomedical Engineering, or related field; MBA or advanced degree a plus.
  • Based in California or travel up to 25%.

COMPENSATION

  • Base Salary: $160,000 - $210,000 USD
  • Performance Bonus: Tied to company milestones and personal objectives

Bomb Technician (EOD)
🏢 US Navy
Salary not disclosed
Oakland, California 1 week ago
INITIAL SUCCESS OR TOTAL FAILURE.

Americans celebrate fireworks on the 4th of July. The other 364 days, Navy EOD-the Navy's elite bomb squad-is working to prevent the ones that aren't for show. Armed with cutting-edge robotics and explosive disposal expertise, they take on missions that demand skill, precision, and absolute nerve-from parachuting into hostile territory to neutralizing underwater mines.

This isn't a job for the ordinary. It's for those who can think fast, stay calm, and operate under extreme pressure-because when it comes to explosives, there's no second chance.

Enlisted Officer

Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician

NAVY EOD: CAREER DETAILS & REQUIREMENTS

Responsibilities

As an EOD Tech, you'll receive extensive training to perform missions neutralizing explosive weapons in almost every environment. Your duties may require you to:

Detonate and demolish hazardous munitions, pyrotechnics and outdated explosives
Neutralize various ordnance, including sea mines, torpedoes or depth charges
Work with cutting-edge technology to remotely disable unsafe ordnance
Perform parachute or helicopter insertion operations
Support law enforcement agencies
Clear waterways of mines in support of our ships and submarines
Lend your skills and support to other military units or offices, such as the U.S. Secret Service or the U.S. Department of State

Work Environment

Your missions will take you to every corner of the world. One assignment may have you parachuting from 17,000 feet into enemy territory, while the next may deliver you stealthily to a foreign nation via an 11-foot RHIB boat. It all depends on which unit you're supporting and the type of mission to be completed. Though there will be administrative work, the majority of your time will be spent in the field.

Training & Advancement

Upon completion of the initial 10-week training at Recruit Training Command Great Lakes (known as boot camp), you'll begin a specialized training program to prepare you for your career as an EOD Tech.

EOD Preparatory Course

(four weeks) -

The Navy EOD training pipeline starts with preparatory training in Great Lakes, IL. Candidates work on swim stroke development, long-range swims and physical conditioning. Candidates receive daily human performance coaching on mental resiliency, strength training form, running, swimming, calisthenics as well as proper rest, recovery and nutrition. Classroom instruction includes introductions to small boat operations, professional military education and risk management.

EOD Assessment and Selection Course

(four weeks)

- After prep, candidates will be challenged in a grueling training environment in which they are constantly assessed on their comfort in the water, physical fitness, academic ability, professionalism and peer rankings. Classroom instruction includes topics such as risk management, dive physics, diving medicine, small boat navigation and Navy maintenance. Daily physical training and assessments are centered around five advanced aquatic adaptability skills, ruck runs, distance swims and the human performance test. At the end of the course, candidates will participate in a formal selection board. Here, instructors will select the best qualified and most likely to successfully complete advanced training to graduate and proceed to diver training.

Diver Training

(seven weeks)

-

Next comes dive school at the Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center (NDSTC) in Panama City, FL. Training covers basic concepts of scuba diving as well as dive physics, physiology and basic dive medicine. Candidates also learn about equipment such as the MK16 underwater rebreather and MK25 underwater rebreather.

EOD School

(44 weeks) -

After successfully completing dive school, candidates transfer to Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal School at Eglin Air Force Base in Fort Walton Beach, FL. This training comes in several sections, each section building upon the skills learned from previous areas of training. Candidates will train in demolition operations, rendering safe bombs, missiles, landmines, defusing Improvise Explosive Devices (IEDs), protecting and detecting against Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) weapons and mastering skills needed to defeat underwater ordnance such as sea mines and torpedoes.

Basic Parachute Training

(three weeks) -

After completing basic EOD school, graduates attend basic airborne training ("jump school") at Fort Benning, GA, where they qualify as a basic parachutist.

EOD Tactical Training

(four weeks) -

The final phase of training is in San Diego, CA. It teaches helicopter insertion (fast-rope, rappel, cast and special patrol insertion, and extraction rigging), small arms/weapons training, small unit tactics (weapons, self-defense, land navigation and patrolling) and tactical communications (satellite and high frequency).

Upon successful completion of the EOD training pipeline, graduates are assigned to EOD mobile units where they gain advanced on-the-job training and experience as members of EOD platoons.

Advanced Training

-

EOD technicians may pursue advanced training options to hone and specialize their skills. Some of these options include:

Parachute water insertion training
Military freefall
Advanced Improvised Explosive Device Disposal (AIEDD)
WMD training
Jumpmaster training
Small unit tactics
Small arms instructor
Language school (Defense Language Institute)
EOD communications (tactical radio communications)

Promotion opportunities are regularly available but competitive and based on performance.

For those with further leadership aspirations and a college degree, EOD Officer roles are available, providing the opportunity to lead and train others.

Post-Service Opportunities

It's also important to note that the specialized training received, and work experience gained in the course of service can lead to valuable credentialing and occupational opportunities in related fields.

Education Opportunities

Members of the Naval Special Operations community have any number of unique opportunities to advance their education. Navy training provides skills and knowledge in everything from the fundamentals of explosive ordnance disposal to chemical and biological warfare, military tactics, deep-sea diving, as well as other tactical military procedures.

Beyond offering access to professional credentials and certifications, Navy training in the NSW/NSO field can translate to credit hours toward a bachelor's or associate degree through the American Council on Education.

You may also continue your education through undergraduate degree opportunities like the Navy College Program and Tuition Assistance and the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

Qualifications & Requirements

No college degree is required to apply for a position as an EOD Technician. However, training is tough and ongoing, and a high degree of difficulty should be expected. You can apply for the Navy Warrior Challenge contract for EOD Technicians at any time during your first enlistment.
