Oura
2024 - 2026
Oura develops wearable wellness devices that are based on the ring format.
Key responsibilities include:
-
Contributed to system architecture definition, including sensor selection, interface design, and performance trade-offs across hardware boundaries
-
Led system-level evaluation and down-selection of MEMS/optical sensing architectures by balancing performance, manufacturability, and risk
-
Defined and managed engineering requirements for biomedical sensing systems, ensuring alignment across hardware, firmware, and manufacturing
-
Owned verification and validation strategies using DOEs to characterize system performance and ensure compliance with internal standards
-
Created analytical frameworks to evaluate design trade-offs and reduce uncertainty in early-stage system architecture decisions
-
Led cross-functional “tiger teams” to diagnose and resolve system-level risks, accelerating development timelines and improving reliability
-
Applied industry standards (FDA/IEC) and academic literature to define system specifications, test methods, and operating conditions
-
Developed a manufacturing test OS via C/C++ and python to manipulate different sensors and subsystems for various test stations
Skills/Tools used:
-
Electrode development and material analysis: metals and metallic coated ceramics
-
Electra-physiological sensor integration: ECG, BIOZ, EDA, IMU
-
ECG/BIOZ/EDA: algorithm optimization, hardware analysis and evaluation, electrode material optimization, feature development and requirement translation
-
Motion analysis: IMU + robotic arm manipulation -> utilizing an IMU on a ring to manipulate a robotic arm to track its movements
