Responsibilities
-
Lead the design and development of real-time signal processing and edge inference for consumer products
-
Own the full development lifecycle, from prototyping and validation through productization and continuous improvement
-
Evaluate commercial solutions, develop prototypes and demos, and inform build/buy decisions
-
Collaborate cross-functionally with hardware, software, and product teams to bring algorithms to WHOOP members
-
Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a high-performance, research-to-production culture
Qualifications
-
B.S. in Electrical Engineering or related field, M.S. or PhD preferred
-
5+ years of experience developing and deploying real-time sensor signal processing algorithms (physiological, audio, motion, or related modalities)
-
Strong foundation in signal processing fundamentals (e.g., filtering, spectral analysis, time-frequency methods)
-
Demonstrated experience integrating signal-processing components into end-to-end embedded systems
-
Ability to implement and optimize signal-processing algorithms for constrained compute, memory, latency, and power budgets
-
Experience integrating third-party libraries, frameworks, or algorithm IP
-
Proficiency in Python or MATLAB for algorithm prototyping and with C/C++ for deployment to embedded product platforms
-
Excellent communication skills, including the ability to present technical results to a diverse audience
-
Demonstrated creativity, adaptability, and a strong interest in translating prototypes into products
Additional Desired Experience
-
Experience deploying signal processing algorithms to battery-powered consumer product platforms
-
Familiarity with adaptive signal processing, multi-sensor processing, signal enhancement, detection, or classification techniques
-
Experience developing and evaluating hybrid DSP/ML systems
-
Familiarity with embedded firmware, RTOS environments, and real-time processing pipelines
-
Experience using optimized MCU/DSP libraries and acceleration frameworks (e.g., CMSIS-DSP, CMSIS-NN, or vendor-specific libraries)
-
Experience with fixed-point implementation, quantization, or other numerical optimization techniques for embedded signal processing
