Working with a global network of manufacturers, suppliers, licensees, and distributors, Luna Labs develops everything from small-scale prototypes to market-ready products.
The Biotech Group at Luna Labs focuses on developing solutions for critical technical challenges in human interfacing, human performance, and diagnostics, such as a wearable pulse oximeter for patient monitoring, a wearable hydration monitor to reduce physiologic episodes throughout long-duration missions, and high-dimensionality AR/VR tools to enhance simulated reality.
To assist with technology development and transition of these and other promising technologies, in support of Luna Labs’ Biotech Group, the Product Transition Lead manages product development and design and implements strategies for commercial transition of a variety of biotech programs in the medical device, wearable sensor, human interfacing/performance and diagnostic spaces.
Additionally, this role is responsible for the acquisition of follow-on funding with a focus on IDIQ, BAA, consortium, and other non-SBIR funds.
United States citizenship is a firm requirement.
