Electrical Engineer, R&D
At WHOOP, we're on a mission to unlock human performance. WHOOP empowers members (Olympians, Professional Athletes, Fitness Enthusiasts, etc.) to perform at a higher level through a deeper understanding of their bodies and daily lives.
As an Electrical Engineer, you will join our growing R&D team and be tasked with designing and building prototype electronics to facilitate the development of the next generation of WHOOP technology. You’ll work in a fast paced environment, iterating quickly on hardware designs. You’ll interface closely with other WHOOP engineers both internal and external to the R&D team to get feedback on the performance of prototype hardware so the designs can be improved upon, as well as make your own performance assessments and evaluations. Ultimately, your efforts will accelerate the deployment of new technology in the market.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Drive schematic layout and PCB design of new WHOOP prototypes
- Design and build evaluation platforms for new technologies
- Evaluate the performance of new electrical sensors, components, and technologies
- Rework and build in-house electrical prototypes as needed
- Receive, interpret, and apply feedback from testing to improve prototype development
- Interface with manufacturers to oversee assembly of small batches of assembled PCBs and electrical designs
- Apply learnings to propose new materials, components, techniques, and designs
- Document your proposed designs, plans, progress, and findings
- Communicate effectively with immediate and external team members
QUALIFICATIONS:
- BS or greater in CS, CE, EE, or equivalent
- Experience in electrical CAD (Altium Designer, Eagle) and simulation tools such as SPICE
- Hands-on experience designing and building electrical components and systems including soldering and rework
- Experience with wired and wireless communication protocols such as I2C, SPI, UART, WiFi, BLE
- Ability to assess challenges and design solutions across domains including electrical, firmware/software, optical, and more
- Strong hacker/DIY mindset, communication skills and action-oriented
- Willingness to learn and grow rapidly to meet fast evolving needs of the R&D department
