About The Position

Hinge Health is seeking an Electrical Engineer to join our Hardware Engineering team. In this role, you will play a key part in designing and developing our next-generation hardware products.
As a junior-to-mid-level engineer, you will work on diverse projects, driving board-level designs for highly integrated medical devices from schematic to layout to assembly. You will work cross-functionally with firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to bring products from concept through production.
The ideal candidate is excited about solving real problems with hardware – your work will have a direct impact on reducing pain and improving the lives of our millions of members. In joining our HW group within the broader R&D organization, you will be part of a highly capable, motivated, small team where your contributions and ideas truly matter.
Hinge Health leverages software, including AI, to largely automate care for joint and muscle health, delivering an outstanding member experience, improved member outcomes, and cost reductions for its clients. The company has designed its platform to address a broad spectrum of MSK care—from acute injury, to chronic pain, to post-surgical rehabilitation—and the platform can help to ease members’ pain, improve their function, and reduce their need for surgeries, all while driving health equity by allowing members to engage in their exercise therapy sessions from anywhere. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California.
