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)
Coordinate with cross-functional teams and overseas stakeholders

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
3+ years of solid programming skills in Python and experience with code collaboration tools (git, peer review, etc)
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
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)

Competitive salary and equity packages
Health, dental, vision insurance, and mental health resources
An Oura Ring of your own plus employee discounts for friends & family
20 days of paid time off plus 13 paid holidays plus 8 days of flexible wellness time off
Paid sick leave and parental leave
