  • Ph.D. in machine learning, AI, computer science, electrical engineering, statistics, applied mathematics, data science, signal processing, optimization or related technical fields
  • Proven track record of publication demonstrating experience in research
  • Research-oriented software engineering skills (SciPy ecosystem/ML tools, MATLAB)

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with human-in-loop sensor development (e.g. biosensors or novel input devices such as electrocardiography (EKG/ECG), photoplethysmography (PPG), capacitive sensing, electromyography, etc)
  • Statistically grounded design of test methods for evaluating sensor hardware performance in lab and factory (e.g. aggressor studies and simulations, hardware phantoms)
  • Demonstrated experience of statistical signal processing skills
  • Experience working in consumer hardware engineering
  • Experience building user interaction systems and/or working in human-computer interaction
  • Experience shipping consumer hardware products at large scale
  • Experience defining research/technical direction for a team and to support the work of a small group of researchers towards those goals
