Oura is looking to develop and validate the next generation of health sensing algorithms to provide deeper insights into readiness, activity, and sleep quality for their global community.
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).
