Vr Jobs in San Francisco, CA

Senior Product Manager

OUR COMPANY

SimX is a fast-growing startup bringing virtual and augmented reality to medical simulation training. Our product is the first comprehensive professional-grade VR medical simulation system, and it is used by our customers to train physicians, nurses, paramedics and other allied health professionals. Since our product has become generally available, demand has exploded and we're in need of new team members to move our product forward.

Our company has an ambitious and high-impact purpose: to transform the way healthcare professionals are trained in order to take a dent out of the more than 400,000 people who die every year from preventable medical errors. We're a dynamic team that includes a wide set of medical professionals, artists, designers, scientists, engineers, and many others, all of whom have dedicated their time to achieving our mission. We are looking for new team members who are excited about our mission and have the drive to thrive in the startup environment.

You will serve as a key bridge across engineering, platform, content, medical education, and go-to-market teams. As a senior leader on the team, you will tackle highly ambiguous problems, mentor peers, and deliver high-impact solutions that solve meaningful clinical training challenges while driving measurable business scale
