RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Lead and align multi-disciplinary hardware engineering teams, including Electrical, Mechanical, Firmware, and Compliance Engineering, to deliver new WHOOP hardware products to market
  • Manage full lifecycle New Product Introduction (NPI) projects from kickoff through manufacturing ramp, ensuring adherence to performance, schedule, and cost goals
  • Build and maintain detailed project schedules across hardware design elements such as PCBAs, plastics, batteries, haptics, wireless components, and engineering test fixtures
  • Coordinate closely with cross-functional departments including Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, Data Science, Signal Processing, Industrial Design, and Product Management to define objectives, align on priorities, and resolve blockers
  • Lead the execution of NPI Builds from Prototype through DVT with internal and external partners, including on-site attendance at manufacturers as needed
  • Support Hardware Tech Leads in prioritizing and planning testing activities, from focused design-of-experiments (DOEs) to large-scale beta tests
  • Own and evolve the risk and issue management framework, ensuring effective mitigation strategies and transparent reporting to stakeholders
  • Guides team members at all levels through tactical pivots and strategic shifts—creates clarity, aligns DRIs, and keeps teams calm and focused under pressure
  • Identify gaps within the WHOOP New Hardware Product Development Engineering Process and own initiatives to enable execution of projects in an organized, methodical, and predictable manner
  • Communicate project updates and drive key decisions at the executive level

    • QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or a closely related engineering field (required); advanced degree a plus
  • 7+ years of project/program management experience leading complex hardware development programs
  • Successfully launched at least one hardware product with cross-functional dependencies, integrating mechanical and electrical subsystems
  • Demonstrated track record aligning engineering, manufacturing, and global external partners
  • Proven ability to plan and manage sourcing timelines and component development workflows—from vendor selection and DFM/DFX through samples, qualification, and ramp
  • Builds order from ambiguity: plans, tracks, and delivers across parallel workstreams; keeps risks and decisions visible
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, both written and verbal
  • Ability to travel internationally to support engineering builds (up to 15%)
