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 a Senior R&D Engineer (Electrical), you’ll 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:

• Own and lead the architecture definition and design of battery powered, miniaturized, low power, low noise, mixed signal prototype electronics
• Drive schematic capture and PCB layout of electrical circuits using CAD and simulation tools such as Altium and SPICE
• Interface with manufacturers to oversee assembly of small batches of assembled PCBs
• Prototype, debug, and analyze the function and performance of prototypes using standard lab equipment and techniques
• 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
• 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
• 7+ years experience in relevant fields
• Extensive electrical engineering skills including a deep familiarity with circuit design, component fundamentals, power supply design, RF layout, digital communication protocols, and automated test, and debug of sophisticated systems
• Hands-on lab experience including soldering and the use of multimeters, oscilloscopes, SMUs, RF analyzers, etc
• Experience in designing and developing battery-powered consumer electronics at scale and/or biomedical sensors such as ECG, PPG, SpO2, GSR, etc
• Experience in electrical CAD (Altium Designer, Eagle), simulation tools such as SPICE, and 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 and experience
• Strong communication skills and action-oriented
• Willingness to learn and grow rapidly to meet fast evolving needs of the R&D department
• Experience with firmware development for embedded applications in C a plus
