Green-card filing pattern in this occupation
Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 3 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.
Files H-1B transfers
10 transfer filings in the last year, covering 10 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

About the role
- WHOOP is looking for a Senior Sensor Intelligence Engineer to join our Embedded Controls team within Sensor Intelligence and help shape the sensing capabilities across current and future WHOOP devices.
- Interested in the role, but don't meet every qualification?
- WHOOP is an Equal Opportunity Employer and participates in E-Verify to determine employment eligibility.
Responsibilities
- Design intelligent embedded control strategies that dynamically configure sensor behavior based on signal quality, device state, user context, system requirements, and power constraints
- Prototype algorithms and sensing strategies using tools such as Python or MATLAB, then partner with Firmware Engineering to translate them into robust, computationally efficient implementations suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems
- Partner closely with Firmware, Electrical Engineering, Data Science, Hardware, and broader Sensor Intelligence teams to bring up new sensing modalities, debug issues across the sensing stack, and inform sensing architectures for future WHOOP products
- Develop experiments, analysis frameworks, and validation methodologies to evaluate sensor and algorithm performance across users and real-world conditions, optimizing solutions for accuracy, robustness, latency, memory, compute, and power
- WHOOP empowers members to perform at a higher level through a deeper understanding of their bodies and daily lives.
Requirements
- BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Physics, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
- Strong proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or similar algorithm-development environments, with working knowledge of C/C++ and embedded-system considerations such as timing, memory, compute, and hardware interfaces
- Working knowledge of sensor and electrical systems, including concepts such as ADCs, analog front ends, sampling, digital interfaces, noise, calibration, and signal acquisition
- Ability to investigate and solve ambiguous engineering problems across algorithm, firmware, sensor, and electrical boundaries using strong experimental and analytical methods
- Strong foundation in digital signal processing and time-series analysis, with experience applying techniques such as filtering, spectral analysis, sampling theory, noise reduction, and feature extraction to real-world sensor data
- Experience developing signal-processing and/or machine-learning algorithms for noisy, artifact-prone sensor data and taking algorithms beyond offline analysis toward real-time, embedded, or production implementation
- Experience with wearable, physiological, optical, impedance, motion, multimodal, or related sensor systems is valued; experience with embedded inference, sensor fusion, fixed-point processing, quantization, low-power sensing, or microcontroller deployment is a plus
- 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
- Experience with wearable, physiological, optical, impedance, motion, multimodal, or related sensor systems is valued
- experience with embedded inference, sensor fusion, fixed-point processing, quantization, low-power sensing, or microcontroller deployment is a plus
Benefits
- By combining advanced sensing, data science, and technology designed for continuous wear, WHOOP delivers insights that help members better understand and improve their health and performance.
Company info
- At WHOOP, we're on a mission to unlock and inspire performance for life.
- 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.
