Senior Algorithm Scientist

What you will do

• 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
• Carry out 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)
• Cook up with cross-functional teams and overseas stakeholders

Requirements

• 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
