About the job
At WHOOP, we are committed to unlocking human performance and extending health span. As a key member of our Mechanical Engineering NPI team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of wearable technology by developing cutting-edge, high-performance products that seamlessly integrate into users’ lives.
We operate with urgency at WHOOP because our mission demands it. We design products for individuals who push their limits—and we hold ourselves to the same high standards. We expect our engineers to delve deeply into technical challenges, collaborate tirelessly, and take pride in their execution. The pace is fast, expectations are high, and the work is profoundly meaningful. This is not a position where you merely follow a blueprint. If you thrive on complex challenges, cross-functional teamwork, and the opportunity to deliver hardware at scale, this role will challenge and reward you.
WHOOP is in search of a Tech Lead, Mechanical Engineering to spearhead the development of next-generation wearable platforms. This player-coach role entails leading a talented team of mechanical engineers while also actively contributing to product design and technical development.
You will oversee the team responsible for designing and launching new WHOOP hardware lines, establishing strong engineering standards, managing technical risks, and ensuring high-quality execution from concept through production. This position requires robust systems thinking and experience in designing products that harmoniously combine compact packaging, precision mechanical interfaces, environmental robustness, and seamless integration with advanced electronic subsystems. You will collaborate cross-functionally with Industrial Design, Electrical Engineering, Product Management, Operations, and external manufacturing partners to bring innovative wearable products to market.
This role is perfect for an experienced engineer who excels at the intersection of technical leadership, system architecture, product development, and team mentorship.
