Resumo da oferta

Ōura is seeking an Algorithm Scientist to join our Future Physiology team in San Francisco. You will implement and evaluate signal processing and machine learning algorithms for multimodal biosignals sourced from the Oura Ring and related sensors.

You will work hands-on with experimental sensing systems, analyze data quality, prototype algorithms, and help build core signal pipelines for next-generation health sensing. Hybrid role with SF office.

Qualificações

• 2–4+ years of practical experience in biosignal processing, time-series analysis, or sensor fusion.
• Strong expertise in Python and scientific computing libraries (NumPy, SciPy, pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch/TensorFlow).
• Solid foundational understanding of human physiological systems and biosensing techniques.
• Practical experience with noisy, real-world time-series data and robust preprocessing pipelines.
• Master’s degree or PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Signal Processing, Machine Learning, Electrical Engineering, or related quantitative field.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to explain complex data and results to cross-functional peers.

Responsabilidades

• Develop and evaluate algorithms for multimodal biosignals (PPG, motion, temperature, etc.).
• Multimodal data integration: feature extraction, noise reduction, time-series integration.
• Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and software teams to optimize data collection pipelines.
• Hands-on prototyping: evaluate data from prototype sensors and benchtop setups.
• Analyze time-series datasets to link signal features with physiological states.
• Document findings and present results to project leads and teammates.

Descrição da oferta de emprego

Our mission at Oura is to empower every person to own their inner potential. Our award-winning products help our global community gain a deeper knowledge of their readiness, activity, and sleep quality by using their Oura Ring and its connected app. We've helped millions of people understand and improve their health by providing daily insights and practical steps to inspire healthy lifestyles.

Empowering the world starts with living our values and empowering our team. As a quickly growing company focused on helping people live healthier and happier lives, we ensure that our team members have what they need to do their best work — both in and out of the office.

We are looking for an Algorithm Scientist to join our Future Physiology team. This role focuses on implementing and evaluating novel capabilities in multimodal sensing, combining signals from multiple biosensing pathways to support richer physiological insights. You will work hands‑on with experimental sensing systems, analyzing data quality, testing prototype algorithms, and helping build the core signal pipelines for the next generation of health sensing at Oura.

What You Will Do:

• Develop and evaluate algorithms: Implement, refine, and benchmark signal processing and machine learning algorithms for multimodal biosignals (e.g., PPG, motion, temperature, and related physiological modalities).
• Multimodal data integration: Apply practical methods for signal cleaning, noise reduction, feature extraction, and time-series data integration across novel modalities.
• Cross-functional support: Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and software engineering teams to analyze sensor performance and optimize data collection pipelines.
• Hands‑on prototyping: Analyze data collected from prototype sensors, evaluation kits, and benchtop setups to assess algorithmic feasibility and signal integrity.
• Physiological exploration: Analyze time-series datasets to discover relationships between physical signal features and underlying physiological states.
• Technical documentation & reporting: Document technical findings, present experimental results, and communicate data‑driven insights clearly to project leads and cross‑functional teammates.

This is a hybrid role out of our San Francisco office.

What you'll bring

• 2–4+ years of practical experience (including advanced degree research) in biosignal processing, time‑series analysis, or sensor fusion.
• Strong expertise in Python and scientific computing libraries (NumPy, SciPy, pandas, scikit‑learn, PyTorch/TensorFlow).
• Solid foundational understanding of human physiological systems and biosensing techniques.
• Practical experience working with noisy, real‑world time-series data and designing robust preprocessing pipelines.
• Master’s degree or PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Signal Processing, Machine Learning, Electrical Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to clearly explain complex data, methodologies, and technical results to cross‑functional peers.

Nice to have:

• Direct experience working with consumer health products, wearable sensors, or digital health applications.
• Demonstrated ability to work with a fast, experimental pace—rapidly prototyping, testing, iterating, and adapting approaches based on empirical feedback.
• A self‑starter attitude with a proactive approach to identifying data anomalies, unblocking technical hurdles, and initiating data‑driven research directions.
