Is there a way to configure my ubuntu system to be allow a non-sudo user to run this program?

It is possible to run the application as a regular user if you give it sufficient capabilities:

sudo setcap 'cap_net_raw=ep cap_net_admin=ep' pn_dev

Check the result:

getcap pn_dev

However the bash script for changing network settings can not use capabilities, so you need to implement that as a C program.
