Job description

Join the Sleep Fitness Movement

At Eight Sleep, we’re on a mission to fuel human potential through optimal sleep. As the world’s first sleep fitness company, we’re redefining what it means to be well-rested and building the most advanced hardware, software, and AI technology to make it possible. Our products power peak mental, physical, and emotional performance by transforming every night of sleep into a personalized, data-driven recovery experience. We are trusted by high performers, professional athletes, and health-conscious consumers in over 34 countries worldwide. Recognized as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies in 2019, 2022, 2023, and 2025, and twice named to TIME’s “Best Inventions of the Year.” We operate like a high-performance team: fast, focused, and motivated by impact. We don’t just ship; we iterate, refine, and obsess over the details that help our members sleep better and wake up stronger.

High Standards. No Apologies.

We operate with intensity because our mission demands it. At Eight Sleep, we bring the same mindset as the world’s top performers: focused, relentless, and always pushing to be in the top 1% of our craft. Think Kobe Bryant’s mamba mentality, applied to bold ideas, next-generation tech, and flawless execution. This isn’t a 9-to-5. Our team is deeply committed, often putting in 60+ hours a week—not because we’re told to, but because we’re invested. We’re here to build fast, push limits, and deliver without compromise. If you thrive under pressure and want to do the most meaningful work of your career, you’ll feel right at home. If you’re looking for something easier—this isn’t it.

The opportunity

We’re looking for electrical engineers to bring new products to market. You’ll be part of a small, mission-driven team and have significant ownership over decisions. Some days you’ll be rigging up Arduino prototypes, other days you’ll be designing PCBAs for mass production in Asia. We’re growing quickly so there are ample opportunities for career growth. This role is based out of our San Francisco Office 5 days/week, targeting Spring 2027 start.

How You’ll Contribute

• Design consumer electronic devices incorporating microcontrollers, SoCs, wireless transceivers, motor drivers, sensors, audio and LED drivers.
• Prototype new concepts to assess feasibility.
• Support designs including schematic capture, layout, bring-up and characterization, production test coverage, and reliability testing.
• Collaborate with mechanical engineering, embedded software, industrial design, manufacturing, and product team members.
• Define testing requirements, fixtures, and equipment to qualify the functionality of components and assemblies for mass production.

What You Need To Succeed

• Mixed analog and digital design and layout experience.
• Familiarity with ECAD packages (Altium, OrCAD, etc.).
• Knowledge of SMT and flex PCB manufacturing processes.
• Understanding of DOE, root cause, statistical analysis and other quality measuring techniques.
• BSEE or equivalent. MS preferred.
• Willingness and ability to travel to Asia as needed.
