AI in this role
Design next-generation power and charging hardware systems for wearable technology products.
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 Senior Electrical Engineer to play a key role in the electrical architecture, design, and development of next-generation power and charging systems for WHOOP wearable technology. As a member of the Hardware Engineering team, you will own critical electrical architectures, designs, and subsystems, translating product and system requirements into robust, highly integrated hardware. You will work closely with Electrical, Mechanical, Firmware, Systems, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Product teams to make critical design tradeoffs, solve complex technical challenges, and drive electrical systems from early development through validation and high-volume production.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Own electrical architectures, designs, and subsystems, translating product and system requirements into electrical specifications, component selections, schematics, and production-ready hardware
Design highly integrated, miniaturized, low-power, mixed-signal electronics, making informed tradeoffs across performance, power, size, cost, reliability, manufacturability, and schedule
Drive electrical designs through schematic capture, PCB layout and design review, prototype bring-up, characterization, debugging, design iteration, verification, and production readiness
Partner closely with Electrical, Mechanical, Firmware, Systems, Manufacturing, and other engineering teams to define interfaces, resolve system-level challenges, and ensure electrical designs perform reliably within the complete product
Evaluate new components, technologies, and design approaches to improve electrical system performance, address technical risks, and enable future product capabilities
Support new product introduction (NPI) and high-volume manufacturing through design for manufacturability, functional testing, failure analysis, and production ramp, partnering with suppliers and contract manufacturers and traveling up to 15% domestically and internationally as needed
QUALIFICATIONS:
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
5+ years of relevant electrical engineering experience, with demonstrated ownership of electrical hardware designs through development, prototyping, validation, or production
Strong electrical engineering fundamentals across analog and digital circuit design, power architecture and management, component selection, communication interfaces, and debugging of complex electrical systems
Demonstrated experience designing highly integrated electronics, including schematic capture, PCB design and layout review, and making architecture-, component-, and subsystem-level design tradeoffs
Experience with ECAD tools such as Altium or equivalent
Strong hands-on hardware development skills, including prototype bring-up, circuit characterization, debugging, and use of electrical test and measurement equipment
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to independently drive ambiguous technical problems, make sound engineering decisions, and collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams
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.
