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 Staff Technical Lead in Electrical Engineering to lead electrical development efforts across our wearable hardware platform. This role will drive the development of current and next-generation products while also advancing performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency of electrical systems at scale. You will operate at the intersection of electrical design and electrical system architecture while owning critical electrical decisions.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Lead and manage a team of electrical engineers, providing technical direction, prioritization, and ongoing mentorship.
- Act as technical lead across one or more hardware programs, balancing hands-on execution with strategic guidance.
- Architect, design, and validate low-power, low-noise, mixed-signal electronics in highly integrated and miniaturized form factors.
- Drive electrical initiatives including product performance optimization, design for manufacturing, reliability enhancements, cost reduction, and second-sourcing.
- Partner cross-functionally with Mechanical, Firmware, Manufacturing, Quality, and Supply Chain teams to ensure robust system integration and scalable production.
- Own electrical development across the product lifecycle.
- Lead root cause investigations for field and production issues and implement validated electrical solutions.
- Collaborate with suppliers and contract manufacturers to support builds, define test strategies, and improve yield across global production lines.
QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
- 8+ years of experience in electrical engineering across product development and/or high-volume manufacturing.
- Strong foundation in analog, digital, power systems, and mixed-signal design.
- Proven ability to deliver hardware at scale.
- Demonstrated experience leading or mentoring engineers and driving technical execution through others.
- Experience with ECAD tools (Altium preferred) and strong lab/debug skills.
- Effective cross-functional collaborator with strong communication skills.
- Strong commitment to embracing and leveraging AI tools in day-to-day tasks, ensuring AI-assisted work aligns with the same high-quality standards as personal contributions.
