Staff Electrical Engineering Tech Lead, WHOOP

• It’s ideal for someone passionate about building elegant, miniaturized hardware at scale — and who thrives in highly collaborative environments
• BS or greater in Electrical Engineering or related field
• 7+ years experience in relevant fields
• Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers, manage technical priorities, and lead complex design efforts
• Deep knowledge of circuit design, low-power systems, digital communication protocols, and mixed-signal design
• Proficiency in schematic capture, layout review, and ECAD tools (Altium preferred)
• Strong lab and debug skills; familiarity with multimeters, oscilloscopes, VNAs, impedance analyzers, spectrum analyzers, etc
• Clear, collaborative communicator comfortable working across disciplines and with external partners

Desirable

• As a Staff EE Tech Lead on the WHOOP Hardware team, you'll take a tactical leadership role in developing the next generation of our wearable platform
• You will be the go-to electrical owner for high-visibility, high-impact hardware — driving the design of critical subsystems that define how our products are worn, experienced, and scaled
• This is a hands-on and high-agency role, where you’ll lead early-stage design, influence architecture across domains, and grow into managing a team executing NPI on WHOOP’s core wearable experiences
• Lead electrical development of core wearable systems from concept through ramp — owning product-critical electrical hardware through design, validation, and scale-up
• Act as technical lead across one or more high-impact SKUs, balancing hands-on execution with strategic guidance and cross-functional alignment
• Collaborate closely with Mechanical, Firmware, Sensor, and Product teams to shape architecture and system integration from early stages through launch
• Lead and oversee the designs of miniaturized, low power, low noise, mixed signal electronics using latest PCB manufacturing technologies
• Manage and mentor a small team (2-4 engineers initially), providing technical oversight, prioritization support, and career development
• Architect, design, and validate low-power, low-noise, mixed-signal electronics in compact form factors using the latest PCB technologies
• Drive schematic capture and layout using Altium and relevant simulation/ CAD tools; perform design reviews and debug as needed to meet performance and reliability targets
• Support research into next-generation technologies, manufacturing processes, and new concepts for wearables and connected accessories
• Engage directly with suppliers and CMs to support NPI builds, develop functional test plans, and guide automated electrical test system development
• Develop and maintain documentation for design processes, reliability test plans, and compliance strategies — collaborating with Hardware, Manufacturing, Legal, and Supply Chain stakeholders
• Travel up to 15% domestically and internationally to partners, suppliers, and manufacturers
