About the role
- WHOOP is hiring a Sensor Intelligence Engineer II to join the Sensor Intelligence team and help advance the next generation of biomedical optical sensing technologies.
- In this role, you will translate optical sensing concepts into validated systems and algorithms that enable meaningful physiological insights for WHOOP members.
- Working at the intersection of AD, hardware, firmware, data science, and human physiology, you will combine theoretical modeling, hands-on experimentation, and data analysis to inform future sensing capabilities and product development.
Responsibilities
- Drive the evaluation and development of next-generation optical sensing concepts, including the definition of technical requirements, design tradeoffs, and validation criteria
- Develop, validate, and improve physiological sensing principle using physics modeling and/or experimentation.
- Develop or improve the multiphysics numerical simulation platform to optimize sensor performance or evaluate potential sensing concepts.
- Collaborate with partners across Hardware, Firmware, Data Science, Research, and Product to communicate technical findings, influence design decisions, and translate research into scalable WHOOP capabilities
Requirements
- Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Applied Physics, Optics, or a related technical field, or an equivalent combination of education and practical experience
- 3+ years of relevant industry or research experience developing biomedical optical sensing systems, signal processing methods, or algorithms
- Experience analyzing time-series or multidimensional data from biomedical sensors, such as PPG, ECG, IMU, EMG, acoustic sensors, or medical imaging systems
- Proficiency in Python, C, or C++ for data analysis, algorithm development, prototyping, or system implementation, with the ability to communicate technical findings clearly and deliver high-quality work as requirements evolve
- Strong commitment to embracing and leveraging AI tools in day-to-day tasks, ensuring AI-assisted work aligns with the same high-quality standards as personal contributions.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with biomedical optics or biophotonics, with expertise in one or more areas such as diffuse optical spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, tissue optics, experimental optics, or a related field.
- Experience with physiological sensing principles, understanding of the human circulation system and respiration system.
