L'avis de Welcome
WHOOP develops wearable health-tracking devices designed to help athletes optimise their performance. Its technology continuously monitors recovery, sleep, and training hours to fine-tune both individual and team performance. Unlike competitors that primarily track exercise data, WHOOP's holistic approach includes metrics like heart rate variability, which can influence more effective and healthier exercise routines. By focusing on a subscription model that includes the cost of the physical device, WHOOP differentiates itself from competitors that charge a higher one-time fee for their products. This model provides ongoing value and encourages users to stay engaged with their health data. WHOOP's comprehensive monitoring of strain and recovery has given it a competitive edge, even as other brands like Fitbit have incorporated similar features. Beyond sports performance, WHOOP has conducted extensive research on predicting premature births, aiming to integrate these findings into their app. This commitment to broader health applications demonstrates WHOOP's dedication to advancing wearable health technology.
Vos missions au quotidien
- WHOOP is hiring a Embedded Engineering Manager to build and lead a new embedded team for a next-generation wearable. The team owns the firmware that members interact with directly on the device: how it responds to them, how it presents their data, and how it feels to use every day. It takes that firmware from early prototypes through new product introduction and into production
- This role combines technical leadership with people management. You will lead a team of full-time and contract firmware engineers and grow it as the program scales. You will take part in architecture decisions with the program’s technical leads, review the team’s code, and own its delivery schedule
- You won’t be the team’s primary developer, but you will be close enough to the code to step in when it helps. You will work closely with Product, Design, Hardware, and Quality, and with the firmware teams building sensors, connectivity, and power on the same device
- Build, manage, and mentor a team of embedded engineers through hiring, onboarding, feedback, performance management, and career development
- Direct the work of contract engineers alongside full-time staff, holding both to the same design and code quality bar
- Lead the team’s delivery of the member’s on-device experience firmware, from prototype through production release
- Partner with the program’s technical lead and senior engineers on architecture for responsive, power-efficient firmware on resource-constrained multi-core hardware
- Serve as a player-coach who reviews code and shapes designs, contributing directly when the team needs it
- Own the team’s planning and delivery cadence, keeping scope, dependencies, and risk visible to partners and leadership
- Partner with Product and Design to turn member experience goals into firmware requirements that fit the hardware’s memory, compute, and power budgets
- Set engineering practices for testing, hardware-in-the-loop validation, release readiness, and field diagnostics
- Foster a culture of high standards, direct feedback, accountability, psychological safety, and continuous learning
Benefits
- Flexible Vacation: WHOOP has a flexible vacation policy that allows you to unwind, laptop-free, when you need it most.

- Health Matters: Our competitive benefits package covers medical, dental, and vision, in addition to mental health services, life and disability insurance, and more.
- Find Your Fit: Full-time employees get $500 a year to spend on wellness in whatever way they see fit, from fitness classes and memberships, to recovery services.
- It Pays to Sleep: Our Sleep Performance Program incentivizes employees to get more sleep. Log an average sleep performance of 85% or higher for the month and get a $100 bonus.
- Location, Location, Location: You can’t beat the views from the rooftop of One Kenmore Square. Feel inspired daily as you work, enjoy free snacks and coffee, and collaborate in the heart of Boston.
Ce que l’on cherche
- Hands-on experience with an RTOS (Zephyr, FreeRTOS, or similar) on microcontrollers or embedded SoCs
- Strong communication skills, including the ability to explain technical tradeoffs to Product, Design, and leadership
- Demonstrated ability to plan and deliver in ambiguous environments, including early-stage hardware programs where requirements are still forming
- Strong commitment to embracing and leveraging AI tools in day-to-day tasks, ensuring AI-assisted work meets the same quality bar as personal contributions
- Experience shipping firmware in a consumer electronics product, from early hardware bring-up through production
- Experience optimizing firmware for performance, memory, and power on constrained hardware
- 5+ years of embedded firmware development in C or C++, including experience as an engineering manager or team lead responsible for mentorship, feedback, and career development
- The successful candidate must be prepared to relocate if necessary to work out of the Boston, MA office
- Interested in the role, but don’t meet every qualification? We encourage you to still apply! At WHOOP, we believe there is much more to a candidate than what is written on paper, and we value character as much as experience
