About the role
Lead electrical system characterization and technical investigations, developing a deep understanding of system behavior across power, mixed-signal circuitry, digital interfaces, sensing, noise, timing, and other critical performance areas Define and execute experiments that efficiently answer complex engineering questions, isolate variables, identify root causes, and expose interactions across electrical subsystems and the broader product
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
- 8+ years of relevant electrical engineering experience, with demonstrated technical leadership and ownership of complex electrical or embedded systems
- Deep electrical engineering fundamentals across mixed-signal circuit design, power management, digital interfaces, signal integrity, and debugging of highly integrated systems
- Exceptional hands-on test, characterization, and debugging skills, with the ability to use experimentation and data to understand complex system behavior and drive meaningful design changes
- Strong experience with schematic capture and PCB design/review using ECAD tools such as Altium or equivalent
- Demonstrated ability to lead ambiguous, cross-functional technical investigations, mentor other engineers, and drive complex engineering decisions to closure
More about this role
At WHOOP, we're on a mission to unlock and inspire performance for life. WHOOP empowers members to perform at a higher level through a deeper understanding of their bodies and daily lives.
WHOOP is hiring a Staff Electrical Engineer to play a critical technical leadership role in the development of our next-generation wearable platform. As part of the Hardware Engineering team, you will develop a deep understanding of electrical system behavior through rigorous test, characterization, analysis, and hands-on debugging, then translate those insights into architecture, schematic, and design improvements. You will work across Electrical, Mechanical, Firmware, Systems, Manufacturing, and Software teams to identify performance limitations, resolve complex system-level issues, and accelerate the path toward robust, production-ready hardware.
This is a hands-on player-coach role for an engineer who combines deep electrical expertise with exceptional systems thinking and technical judgment. You will manage and develop a small team of electrical engineers while remaining deeply engaged at the bench—defining the highest-value technical questions, designing experiments to answer them,...
