Job description

We are looking for a Senior Algorithm Scientist to develop and validate the next generation of health sensing algorithms at Oura. Health sensing algorithms underpin the suite of features we offer to our members. As an algorithm scientist, your work will have a wide ranging impact and provide the foundation for new insights delivered to millions of Oura members around the world.

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
  • 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

Requirements

We would love to have you on our team if you have:

  • 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)
  • This role is based in San Diego, with at least three days in office (at our Carmel Mountain location).

Benefits

At Oura, we care about you and your well-being. Everyone here at Oura has a ring of their own and we are continually looking to improve employee health.

What we offer:

  • 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

Oura takes a market-based approach to pay, which may vary depending on your location. US locations are categorized into tiers based on a cost of labor index for that geographic area. While most offers will be closer to the starting range, successful candidates' pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location, internal peer equity, and market conditions. These ranges may be modified in the future.

  • Region 2: $158,950 - $187,000

A recruiter can determine your zones/tiers based on your US location.

We are not considering candidates residing in the following states: Alaska (AK), Delaware (DE), Iowa (IA), Mississippi (MS), Missouri (MO), Nebraska (NE), South Dakota (SD), Vermont (VT), West Virginia (WV), and Wisconsin (WI)
