Senior Signal Processing Engineer
About The Position
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. WHOOP is seeking a Senior Signal Processing Engineer to join the Sensor Intelligence Group (SIG), a cross-functional team collaborating across WHOOP Labs, Firmware, and Data Science. This role is central to developing next-generation sensor processing to enable foundational health features at WHOOP. You’ll develop the edge signal processing underpinning WHOOP physiological insights and coaching, ultimately delivering meaningful and personalized feedback to millions of members.
Requirements
- B.S. in Electrical Engineering or related field, M.S. or PhD preferred
- 5+ years of experience developing and deploying real-time sensor signal processing algorithms (e.g., physiological, audio, motion, etc.)
- Demonstrated experience deploying algorithms to consumer product embedded platforms (e.g. fixed-point DSPs or MCUs)
- Strong foundation in signal processing fundamentals (e.g., filtering, spectral analysis, time-frequency methods)
- Experience with system-level design and optimization to maximize product battery life
- Proficiency in Python or MATLAB for algorithm prototyping and with C/C++ for deployment to embedded product platforms
- Excellent communication skills, including the ability to present technical results to a diverse audience
