Health Sensing Engineering Manager

The TechEng sensing team is responsible for sensor technologies within all of our consumer devices (phone/watch/buds/home/tracker), including both hardware and algorithm development, representing an array of technologies such as inertial, magnetometer, barometer, Electrocardiogram (ECG), Photoplethysmogram (PPG), haptics, touch, fingerprint, and others. We maintain year-over-year performance of the sensors in our devices, along with developing innovative, never-before-seen technologies in the sensing space. Given the importance of sensors in understanding and feeding user context into the ML/AI/LLM, this is an incredibly exciting and dynamic space.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

Responsibilities

• Lead and mentor a high-performing team of sensor hardware engineers, technologists, and scientists.
• Own the hardware lifecycle of health sensing systems (such as PPG, ECG, and bio-impedance) from initial concept to high-volume manufacturing.
• Collaborate with Algorithm and Software teams to ensure sensor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) meets data-processing and machine-learning requirements.
• Be the subject matter expert for health sensors, including PPG and ECG sensors. Establish technical direction for next-generation health sensor systems, ensuring rigorous design and testing methodologies.

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  
• 8 years of experience working in a consumer electronics technical environment, specifically within health sensing.
• 5 years of experience in technical leadership.
  

Preferred qualifications:

• PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  
• 5 years of experience leading high-volume sensor hardware teams.
• Deep domain expertise in optical/electrical bio-sensors (such as PPG, ECG, electrodermal activity (EDA), and bio-impedance).
• Strong understanding of clinical research, signal-processing algorithms, and health regulatory pathways (e.g. FDA, CE)
  
• Proven track trade record of taking complex sensing systems from early-stage architecture to mass production with contract manufacturers/joint development manufacturer (CM/JDM).
