Job summary

WHOOP is hiring a Senior Electrical Engineer to lead design and development of next-generation charging platforms and wearable hardware. You will own electrical subsystems, translate requirements into robust specifications, and work across hardware, firmware, systems, manufacturing, and supply chain to enable high-volume production.

You will design integrated, low-power electronics, drive from concept to production, and evaluate new components to future-proof the product.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience designing highly integrated electronics, incl. schematic capture, PCB layout, and subsystem tradeoffs.
• Strong hands-on hardware development skills, incl. prototype bring-up, characterization, debugging, and testing.
• Bachelors degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or related field; 5+ years of relevant experience.

Responsibilities

• Own electrical designs and subsystems, translating system requirements into electrical specs, components, schematics, and production-ready hardware.
• Design highly integrated, miniaturized, low-power mixed-signal electronics with thoughtful tradeoffs across performance, size, cost, and reliability.
• Drive designs from concept through schematic capture, PCB layout, bring-up, verification, and production ramp.
• Collaborate with Electrical, Mechanical, Firmware, Systems, Manufacturing, and other teams to define interfaces and system tradeoffs.
• Evaluate new components, technologies, and design approaches to improve performance and enable future capabilities.
• Support NPI and high-volume manufacturing with DFx, testing, failure analysis, and ramp planning.

Job description

• WHOOP is hiring a Senior Electrical Engineer to play a key role in the design and development of next-generation charging platforms and supporting hardware for WHOOP wearable technology
• As a member of the Hardware Engineering team, you will own critical electrical designs and subsystems, translating product and system requirements into robust, highly integrated hardware
• You will work closely with Electrical, Mechanical, Firmware, Systems, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Product teams to make design tradeoffs, develop and validate new hardware, and bring complex electrical systems from early development through high-volume production
• Own electrical designs and subsystems, translating system requirements into electrical specifications, component selections, schematics, and production-ready hardware
• Design highly integrated, miniaturized, low-power, mixed-signal electronics, making thoughtful tradeoffs across performance, power, size, cost, reliability, manufacturability, and schedule
• Drive electrical designs from concept through schematic capture, PCB layout and design review, prototype bring-up, characterization, debugging, design iteration, verification, and production
• Partner closely with Electrical, Mechanical, Firmware, Systems, Manufacturing, and other engineering teams to define interfaces, contribute to system-level tradeoffs, and ensure electrical designs perform reliably within the complete product
• Evaluate new components, technologies, and design approaches that enable future product capabilities and improve electrical system performance
• Support NPI and high-volume manufacturing by partnering with Manufacturing, Supply Chain, suppliers, and contract manufacturers on design for manufacturability, functional testing, failure analysis, and production ramp
• Travel up to 15% domestically and internationally to collaborate with partners, suppliers, and contract manufacturers

Benefits

• Flexible Vacation: WHOOP has a flexible vacation policy that allows you to unwind, laptop-free, when you need it most.
• Focus on Family: We offer 18 weeks paid parental leave, plus an additional 2 weeks to gradually return to work.
• Get Invested: In addition to a competitive base salary and 401k, you’re eligible to receive stock options to share in the future of WHOOP.
• WHOOP +1: Everyone on the team gets a complimentary WHOOP membership—plus another membership to share with a loved one.
• Health Matters: Our competitive benefits package covers medical, dental, and vision, in addition to mental health services, life and disability insurance, and more.
• Find Your Fit: Full-time employees get $500 a year to spend on wellness in whatever way they see fit, from fitness classes and memberships, to recovery services.
• It Pays to Sleep: Our Sleep Performance Program incentivizes employees to get more sleep. Log an average sleep performance of 85% or higher for the month and get a $100 bonus.
• Location, Location, Location: You can’t beat the views from the rooftop of One Kenmore Square. Feel inspired daily as you work, enjoy free snacks and coffee, and collaborate in the heart of Boston.
