At WHOOP, we're on a mission to unlock human performance and healthspan. WHOOP empowers members to perform at a higher level through a deeper understanding of their bodies and daily lives.

As a Senior Electrical Engineer on the Continuous Improvement (CI) team, you will play a critical role in advancing the performance, reliability, and scalability of WHOOP hardware in market. You will own high‑impact electrical improvements across production and fielded devices, partnering cross‑functionally to solve complex problems and deliver measurable gains in quality, yield, and cost. This is a hands‑on, high‑agency role ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity and is motivated by making great products even better at scale.

Responsibilities

• Own and execute electrical continuous improvement initiatives across in‑market and production hardware, driving measurable gains in quality, reliability, yield, cost, and supply chain resiliency.
• Design, implement, and validate schematic, layout, and component‑level changes to improve system performance, robustness, and manufacturability.
• Lead hands‑on root cause investigations for field returns, manufacturing failures, and reliability risks, using lab debugging, failure analysis, and data‑driven methods to identify and resolve issues.
• Work closely with Mechanical, Firmware, Manufacturing, Quality, and Supply Chain teams to identify issues, influence solutions, and ensure seamless integration of design changes.
• Develop and execute electrical validation and characterization plans to ensure design changes meet performance, reliability, and production requirements.
• Work directly with contract manufacturers and suppliers to debug issues, support builds, and improve yield and process capability in high‑volume production.
• Execute ECOs end‑to‑end, including design updates, validation, documentation, and release to production.
• Travel up to 15% domestically and internationally to support contract manufacturers, partners, and suppliers.

Qualifications

• BS or greater in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 4+ years of experience, preferably with a focus on consumer electronics or high‑volume hardware products.
• Substantial electrical engineering fundamentals including circuit design, component fundamentals, power supply design, digital communication protocols, manufacturing processes, and debug of sophisticated systems.
• Experience in schematic capture, layout design and review.
• Experience supporting hardware in mass production, including yield improvement, failure analysis, and design for manufacturing/test.
• Familiarity with ECAD tools such as Altium and PLM/ECO processes.
• Hands‑on lab experience with standard electrical debug tools (oscilloscopes, multimeters, analyzers, etc.).
• Strong problem solving and analytical skills.
