Description
At WHOOP, we're on a mission to unlock human performance. WHOOP empowers members to perform at a higher level through a deeper understanding of their bodies and daily lives.

We are seeking an exceptional multi-disciplined Staff R&D engineer. As a key member of our Electrical Engineering team within the hardware organization, you will be working at the intersection of data and design, using advanced analytics to influence product strategy and technical decision-making. Our hardware team thrives on rapid prototyping and data-driven insights, so hands-on experimentation and a keen ability to extract meaningful conclusions from complex datasets are essential. If you're passionate about using data to shape the future of wearable technology, we want you on our team.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Advanced Development Projects: Spearhead early-stage design and development of biometric wearable devices, using data analytics to guide decision-making and determine success criteria.
  • Data-Driven System Validation: Design and execute system-level validation protocols, utilizing engineering fundamentals combined with statistical methods to ensure optimal performance in real-world scenarios.
  • Advanced Data Processing & Statistical Techniques: Use Python and other statistical tools to process large data sets, conduct feasibility testing, and inform engineering design decisions.
  • Circuit Design & Simulation: Apply an understanding of circuit design principles and tools like SPICE for designing and validating hardware circuits in wearable technology systems.
  • Prototyping & Functional Verification: Test and validate hardware prototypes for in-depth functional testing, utilizing a variety of lab equipment for debugging and analysis.
  • Test Design & Failure Investigation: Define system requirements and develop test strategies, analyzing test data to ensure validation. Lead failure investigations using data to identify root causes and improve designs.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with teams across hardware, software, data science, and product to shape development strategies, ensuring data insights drive both technical and strategic decisions.
  • Mentorship & Leadership: Guide and mentor junior engineers, offering technical insights and career development support. Potential to manage a small team (1-3 engineers) with diverse skills and experience levels.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Collaborate with external partners, suppliers, and contract manufacturers to ensure successful development and scale-up of products. Up to 10% travel, both domestically and internationally.

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Educational Background: BS or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related field.
  • Experience: 7+ years of experience 
  • Problem-Solving Expertise: Strong ability to apply data analytics to solve complex engineering challenges and propose creative, data-driven solutions.
  • Statistical Skills: Proficiency in applying advanced statistical techniques, particularly in time-series data analysis, using Python or similar tools (e.g., Minitab).
  • Hands-On Engineering: Experience with hardware prototyping and debugging, utilizing lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, and impedance analyzers.
  • Circuit Design Expertise: Solid understanding of circuit design principles
  • Software & Code Management: Experience maintaining and improving live code for hardware systems, including logging, monitoring, and debugging in development environments.

DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Biometric Sensor Expertise: Experience developing biometric sensors for wearable devices, with a focus on integrating data analytics into hardware design.
  • Manufacturing Experience: Proven ability to take products from concept through to mass production
  • Versatility & Learning Agility: Willingness to tackle new challenges and acquire new skills
  • Scientific Approach: A data-driven, scientific mindset with a strong foundation in statistical methods and experiment design.
  • Spice: Experience with design tools such as SPICE for simulating and validating circuits in hardware systems.
This role is based in the WHOOP office located in Boston, MA. The successful candidate must be prepared to relocate if necessary to work out of the Boston, MA office. 

Interested in the role, but don’t meet every qualification? We encourage you to still apply! At WHOOP, we believe there is much more to a candidate than what is written on paper, and we value character as much as experience. As we continue to build a diverse and inclusive environment, we encourage anyone who is interested in this role to apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
