## Description

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. Our wearable technology collects rich physiological data, providing members with actionable insights into their recovery, training, and sleep.

We are seeking a Senior Signal Processing Engineer to develop and deploy algorithms for physiological sensors including optical sensor and inertial measurement unit (IMU) data into accurate, reliable, and real-time insights on WHOOP devices. This hands-on role centers on digital and statistical signal processing, sensor fusion, and model-based state estimation, with a particular focus on accelerometer and gyroscope data.

You will own algorithm development from sensor characterization, mathematical modeling, and Python prototyping through efficient C/C++ implementation, firmware integration, and production validation. Working closely with Firmware, Hardware, Data Science, and Product, you will deliver robust on-device algorithms that perform reliably across diverse members and real-world conditions while meeting the constraints of wearable hardware.

RESPONSIBILITIES

 - Design and develop real-time signal processing and sensor fusion algorithms that combine Sensor measurements inputs to characterize motion and deliver reliable member-facing insights.

 - Develop and tune model-based estimators for orientation and motion, including sensor bias estimation, uncertainty propagation, and drift mitigation under changing movement and sensing conditions.
