## About the Role

* 5-7+ years of experience in machine learning, biosignal processing, sensor fusion, and analyzing real-world, multimodal time-series data.
 * Deep proficiency in Python, practical experience with tools like PyTorch or TensorFlow, and scientific computing libraries (NumPy, SciPy, pandas, matplotlib).
 * A strong understanding of the physiology underlying the signals. You need to know what the data actually represents physically, combined with the engineering intuition to solve complex, noisy problems.
 * Familiarity with scalable data systems and a track record of getting ML models out of the lab and into production.
 * An advanced degree (Master's or PhD) in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Biomedical Engineering, Signal Processing, Applied Math, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
 * Comfortable navigating uncertainty and fast-paced iteration, taking complete accountability for the algorithm journey from early feasibility testing to production-ready integration.

Nice to have:

 * Direct experience working with consumer health products, wearable sensors, smart rings, or digital health applications.

## Description

* Take responsibility for the entire ML and algorithm development pipeline, from signal processing to training, evaluating, and scaling robust models.
 * Develop and deploy advanced ML algorithms leveraging deep learning architectures (e.g., Transformers, RNNs, probabilistic models) alongside classical signal processing to derive meaningful health insights across diverse populations.
 * Design robust methods for fusing time-series data from multiple sensors (e.g., PPG, motion, temperature, spectroscopy) to extract reliable physiological metrics while managing everyday issues like motion artifacts.
 * Leverage Oura's large-scale cloud datasets to refine models, while also working hands-on with prototype sensors and evaluation kits to see how new hardware performs in the real world.
 * Work directly with hardware, firmware, software, and data infrastructure teams to align on feature goals, ensure technical feasibility within the ring's physical limits, and smoothly integrate algorithms.
 * Translate complex technical concepts and your technical results into clear narratives for senior stakeholders, helping to guide our future research direction and roadmap alignment.
