HW Sensor Engineer
As a HW Sensor Engineer, you will drive sensors for program, specification, development, and characterization for next-generation wearable products. You will partner closely with EE, mechanical, firmware, process, test, and product teams to design robust pipelines that unlock high-fidelity metrics, improve activity and gesture detection, and enhance user experiences.
This role blends deep technical execution with cross-functional influence, impacting Oura's sensor roadmap, performance outcomes, and long-term platform strategy. What you will do:
Sensor Design
Drive new sensor into products and for end to end convergence.
Translate sensing requirements into robust hardware specifications aligned with product goals.
Regional Failure Analysis:
Lead comprehensive root cause investigations into field returns (RMA) and production yield issues, focusing specifically on sensing subsystems including PPG, accelerometers, and thermistors.
Manufacturing Process Auditing:
Audit assembly lines, testing stations, and calibration jigs at contract manufacturing sites to mitigate sensor performance degradation and noise sources.
Technical Feedback Loop:
Distill complex failure data into actionable insights for US-based design and firmware teams to drive hardware iterations and improve next-generation platforms.
Yield Optimization:
Collaborate with Quality and Operations to execute corrective actions (CAPA) aimed at enhancing manufacturing yield and minimizing "No Fault Found" (NFF) occurrences.
Advanced Characterization:
Leverage X-ray, CT scanning, SEM, and cross-sectioning to diagnose intricate electrical and mechanical failures at the PCBA and component levels.
Documentation & Communication
Produce clear technical documentation of sensor designs, trade studies, test plans, and performance metrics.
Present findings and recommendations to engineering leadership and cross-disciplinary stakeholders. We would love to consider you for this role if you have:
5+ years of experience in motion sensing, inertial measurement systems, or similar sensor design and integration roles.
Experience with PPG, MEMS sensors, and low-power embedded sensor interfaces.
Strong background in sensor characterization, signal quality analysis, embedded systems, and data integrity practices.
Excellent analytical problem-solving and written/verbal communication skills.
Collaborative mindset with experience working across hardware, firmware, and analytics teams.
