Director of Systems Engineering

At WHOOP, we’re on a mission to unlock human performance and extend healthspan. We empower our members: athletes, professionals, everyday wellness‑seekers to perform at a higher level by deeply understanding the signals from their bodies and translating them into meaningful insights.

We are seeking an accomplished, strategic Director of Systems Engineering to lead the system-level architecture and integration for WHOOP’s hardware ecosystem. Reporting directly to the Co-Founder & Chief Hardware Engineer, this leader will shape how WHOOP conceives, designs, verifies, and launches complex, multi-disciplinary products. 

You will build and scale the systems engineering function, codifying best-in-class processes around architecture, requirements, risk management, verification/validation, and cross-functional alignment. As a senior technical leader, you will drive clarity in ambiguous spaces, influence product direction early, and ensure our products deliver exceptional performance, reliability, manufacturability, and member value.

Your impact will be both technical and organizational. You’ll define system foundations, elevate engineering rigor, and enable productive collaboration across all hardware development and product teams.
