Time is money.

And wasted time means wasted money. We hate that. If you do too, you might be just who we’re looking for: Project Manager – Medical Devices who thrives on delivering every project on time, within budget and scope.

Who are we? Integrated Computer Solutions (ICS) is a Boston-area software development and UX design firm dedicated to inventing the future. This isn’t hyperbole. We’re working on some of the most exciting and innovative tech projects in development today. Think flying taxis. Operating-room control systems. Self-driving cars. Miniature x-rays. Next-gen restaurant equipment. Interactive experiences for scientific labs.

No, you probably don’t not know our name -- we keep things hush, hush so our clients can shine -- but you’ve likely seen our work. If you’re high energy, calm under pressure, and flexible enough to handle multiple projects at one, you might be perfect for this high-visibility role.
