At WHOOP, we're on a mission to unlock and inspire performance for life. WHOOP empowers members to perform at a higher level through a deeper understanding of their bodies and daily lives. Our wearable technology collects rich physiological data, providing members with actionable insights into their recovery, training, and sleep.
We are seeking a Senior Signal Processing Engineer to develop and deploy algorithms for physiological sensors including optical sensor and inertial measurement unit (IMU) data into accurate, reliable, and real-time insights on WHOOP devices. This hands-on role centers on digital and statistical signal processing, sensor fusion, and model-based state estimation, with a particular focus on accelerometer and gyroscope data.
You will own algorithm development from sensor characterization, mathematical modeling, and Python prototyping through efficient C/C++ implementation, firmware integration, and production validation. Working closely with Firmware, Hardware, Data Science, and Product, you will deliver robust on-device algorithms that perform reliably across diverse members and real-world conditions while meeting the constraints of wearable hardware.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Design and develop real-time signal processing and sensor fusion algorithms that combine Sensor measurements inputs to characterize motion and deliver reliable member-facing insights.
Develop and tune model-based estimators for orientation and motion, including sensor bias estimation, uncertainty propagation, and drift mitigation under changing movement and sensing conditions.
Build robust IMU processing pipelines, including filtering, calibration, time synchronization, resampling, coordinate transformations, and compensation for sensor noise and systematic errors.
Analyze large-scale, noisy wearable datasets to identify failure modes and improve robustness across motion patterns, device orientation, fit, and individual movement characteristics.
Translate algorithm prototypes into production-ready C/C++ implementations, balancing accuracy with power, memory, compute, numerical stability, and latency.
Partner with Firmware and Hardware teams on sensor configuration, sampling strategies, and on-device integration; investigate differences between prototype behavior and performance on target hardware.
Define performance metrics and rigorous validation plans using reference measurements, controlled experiments, real-world data, and on-device testing to assess accuracy, robustness, and long-duration stability.
Own technical decisions for complex algorithm components, contribute to design and code reviews, mentor teammates, and collaborate across functions to investigate post-deployment issues and drive continuous improvement.
QUALIFICATIONS
5+ years of experience developing and deploying signal processing, sensor fusion, or state-estimation algorithms for real-world sensor applications, including substantial hands-on work with IMU data.
MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or a related quantitative field, or equivalent practical experience.
Strong foundation in digital and statistical signal processing, including filtering, spectral analysis, stochastic processes, and sensor noise characterization.
Demonstrated experience with accelerometer and gyroscope processing, IMU calibration, sensor error modeling, bias estimation, and drift management.
Strong experience with Kalman filtering, including extended or error-state formulations, and model-based sensor fusion; practical understanding of nonlinear estimation, uncertainty propagation, and estimator failure modes.
Practical knowledge of 3D motion and orientation representations, including coordinate frames, rotation matrices, quaternions, and rigid-body kinematics.
Proficiency in Python for algorithm development, data analysis, and experimentation, and C/C++ for efficient embedded implementation; demonstrated experience deploying algorithms to resource-constrained hardware.
Ability to independently investigate complex algorithmic problems, design rigorous validation experiments, and communicate technical tradeoffs with firmware, hardware, and cross-functional partners.
Experience with body-worn sensors, human-motion modeling, motion segmentation, or periodicity analysis is highly desirable.
This role is based in the WHOOP office located in Boston, MA. 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. As we continue to build a diverse and inclusive environment, we encourage anyone who is interested in this role to apply.

The job is in Boston, MA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How Boston compares. Among the 80 largest places in Massachusetts, Boston is #1 by population, #75 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #62 for rent (#1 = cheapest), #28 for remote work (#1 = most). Its county, Suffolk County, is #1 of 14 counties for average pay ($131,280).
Boston has 666,442 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 9.5% of the population of Massachusetts. It covers 48 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 13,786 people per square mile. The median age is 33.3, 17% younger than the state median (33.3 against 40.0).
The median gross rent is $2,147 a month (rent plus utilities), 22% above the state median ($2,147 against $1,762). Over a year that is 26.5% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $731,700, which is 7.5 times the median household income ($97,344); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 35.7% of households own their home, 43% below the state average (35.7% against 62.5%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.
The Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH metropolitan area has 2,703,890 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $66,620 a year, 31% above the national median ($66,620 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (265,830 jobs, median $56,580); management (254,700 jobs, median $166,580); business and financial operations (242,960 jobs, median $102,660). The area is most specialised in life, physical, and social science (2.6 times) and architecture and engineering (1.4 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($166,580) and legal ($135,160). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Suffolk County was 4.2%. 69.9% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Suffolk County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 32.9% drive alone, 22.6% use public transit, 13.4% walk, 21.3% work from home. 22.0% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, about the same as the state average (22.0% against 21.5%).
54.9% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 16% above the state share (54.9% against 47.3%). 27.8% of residents were born outside the United States, 54% above the state share (27.8% against 18.1%). The poverty rate is 16.6%, 65% above the state rate (16.6% against 10.0%).
The warmest month is Jul, averaging 72°F (22.4°C), and the coolest is Jan at 26°F (-3.5°C). About 1,206 mm (47 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Oct is the wettest month (123 mm) and Jan the driest (80 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
Closest cities in this guide: Winthrop Town (4 miles, rent 4% lower); Chelsea (4 miles, rent 9% lower); Everett (5 miles, rent 3% lower); Quincy (5 miles, similar rent). Rent differences are against Boston; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
