Oura is looking for a Senior Algorithm Scientist to develop and validate the next generation of health sensing algorithms that underpin the suite of features offered to their members, aiming to provide daily insights and practical steps to inspire healthy lifestyles.
Requirements
- 3+ years of solid programming skills in Python and experience with code collaboration tools (git, peer review, etc).
- Significant experience with signal processing methods and time-series analysis (FIR/IIR filters, Kalman filtering, adaptive filtering, stochastic processes, etc)
- Experience with biosignal sensing and wearable hardware (including hardware prototypes) is a plus.
- Experience with C/C++ is a plus.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to the research, development and deployment of signal processing and machine learning algorithms for Oura features/products based on a range of sensing modalities
- Conduct early stage exploratory research to identify and characterize new potential sensing features and functionality.
- Develop proof-of-concept features and work with a cross-functional team to take these from proof-of-concept to a commercialized product
- Design and support internal and external data collection studies to develop, evaluate, benchmark and improve new biomarkers and algorithms and to evaluate the signal quality of hardware and firmware prototypes
- Develop and maintain internal signal evaluation tools and libraries to help Oura’s hardware and firmware teams optimize current and next-generation products
- Document, summarize, and present data analysis and algorithm performance results with concrete actionable recommendations for a broad audience on a regular basis
- Support the incorporation of new sensing modalities into next-generation hardware by running feasibility studies and providing scientifically-backed guidance to other teams (hardware, firmware, product, etc)
Other
- PhD degree with three years of work experience OR MSc degree with five years of work experience in biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, neural engineering or a related field
- A pragmatic can-do attitude and delivery-focused mindset: you can move quickly and prioritize effectively
- Flexible schedule and good asynchronous communication skills to work with Oura’s Finnish teams (early morning meetings two to three times a week)
- This role is based in San Diego, with at least three days in office (at our Carmel Mountain location).
