Staff Electrical Engineering Tech Lead (NPI)

BostonOn-siteFull-time

AI Summary

Staff Electrical Engineering Tech Lead who leads the electrical design, validation, and scale-up of core wearable hardware at WHOOP, mentoring a small team and partnering cross-functionally.

About this role

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.

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 leader for high-visibility, high-impact hardware, guiding 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 influence architecture across domains and manage a team executing NPI on WHOOP’s core wearable products. It’s ideal for someone passionate about building elegant, miniaturized hardware at scale who thrives in collaborative environments.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • 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.
  • Partner closely with Mechanical, Firmware, Sensor, and Product teams to shape architecture and system integration from early concept through launch.
  • Oversee the designs of miniaturized, low power, low noise, mixed signal electronics using latest PCB manufacturing technologies
  • Manage and mentor a small, scaling team (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.
  • Perform design reviews and debug as needed to meet performance and reliability targets.
  • Engage directly with suppliers and CMs to support NPI builds, develop functional test plans, and guide automated electrical test system development.
  • Travel up to 15% domestically and internationally to partners, suppliers, and manufacturers as needed.

    • QUALIFICATIONS:

  • BS or greater in Electrical Engineering or related field
  • 7+ years experience in relevant fields
  • Demonstrated ability to manage technical priorities, lead complex design efforts, and mentor engineers.
  • 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.

    • BONUS QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Tactical leadership and management experience in hardware development.
  • Experience in battery-powered, high-reliability products at scale.
  • Prior experience owning the electrical design for miniaturized systems or form factor-constrained products.
