Senior Electrical Engineer, Advanced Development
Ozlo Sleep
Who we are:
Ozlo is a Boston-based health tech start-up that's revolutionizing digital care for better sleep.
We are developing and manufacturing an ecosystem of sleep solutions – including the Ozlo
Sleepbuds ® – that use sophisticated technology and sound to unlock restorative sleep.
We have a compelling and credible vision to improve the lives of millions of people around the
world. We are working to scale a new version of an already successful consumer wellness
product, creating a truly game-changing experience for customers and eventually, patients.
We’re venture funded, and our crowd-funding campaign on Kickstarter and Indiegogo has
already raised an additional $3M+ with compelling growth metrics -- see our informational
launch video and most-recent promo video.
What we’re building:
Our first-generation Sleepbuds ® are a consumer wellness product, and we already have strong
clinical data to support consumer wellness efficacy claims. Our next clinical trial – targeting a
massive and currently untreatable health issue – is scheduled to begin in the coming few
months. In parallel, we’ll soon begin work on our next-gen hardware platform, which will include
medical-grade biometric sensors and full regulatory compliance, which will be our springboard
into reimbursable digital therapeutics.
We’re now at a scale and growth trajectory that we need to expand our electrical engineering
team. This is a rare opportunity for you to leverage your diverse technical skills to help a high-
profile tech start-up achieve massive success.
Equal Opportunity employer:
We are proud to be an Equal Opportunity workplace and an Affirmative Action employer. We
are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of age, race, color, religion, sex,
ancestry, national origin, citizenship, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, gender identity,
Veteran status, or other applicable legally protected characteristics.
Benefits:
We’re small but mighty and offer flexible vacation, full medical/dental/vision coverage (company
pays premiums in full for employees and qualified dependents), matching 401(k), disability and
group life insurance, FSA coverage, wellness reimbursement, flexible (and balanced) hours, a
remote/hybrid work policy, employee discounts, and more.
Compensation:
Base salary commensurate with experience and qualifications
What’s in it for you:
We’re building an Advanced Development group that will pave the way for our future! The skill
sets we expect are that of a senior level electrical engineer, but added to that you’re required to
take risks, be curious, and work on projects that seem impossible! One of our interview
questions is always “do you like to teach or learn”, and as you might suspect, “both” is the
correct answer! At Ozlo we’re serious about technology, but we like to have fun! If pushing your
technical knowledge sounds fun to you, then you should consider!
Responsibilities:
● Contribute individually and collectively to the design of analog, digital, and wireless
electronics through all phases of development: concept, design, layout, prototyping and
bench testing
● Perform schematic capture and oversee layout for hardware products, including
participation in PCBA bring-up and characterization.
● Design, plan, and execute experiments and lab tests; document the method and results.
● Work with external partners to incorporate deep research into our advanced
development products.
● Dedicate time to study new products and be on the bleeding edge of technology –
including new SoC’s, memory devices, analog front ends, etc.
● Domestic and international travel (to engage with external research, etc.) at 10-15%
Qualifications:
● BS Electrical Engineering with 5-10 years’ experience.
● Strong first-principal design methodology, deriving the physics behind your work is a
plus!
● Understanding of the principles, concepts, and methods of electrical engineering such as
concept development, requirement definition, design solution definition, implementation,
integration, verification/validation, and qualification.
● Understand that our Advanced Development team designs with product in mind, and
that at some point our work will be handed off to a development team! This will force you
to understand our current product (and active designs) in detail.
● Experience developing wearable consumer products from concept to production.
● Experience with Altium design tools SPICE simulation, and Audio Measurement tools (or
willingness to learn)
● Experience with embedded microprocessors, sensors, Bluetooth, WIFI, and
management of electrical interconnects.
● Switch mode power supply design: Fundamental understanding of switching topologies,
device stress an analysis, control systems and system level implementation
● Experience with Lithium-Ion battery systems (chargers, safety, capacity calculations,
etc.)
● Experience with optics, EEG and Analog Front Ends (AFE’s) is a plus!
● Proven track record of board-level design, including schematic capture, PCB design in
both analog/mixed-signal/power electronic and digital domains.
● Experience troubleshooting sophisticated circuit issues and EMI/EMC/ESD mitigation.
● Strong culture fit (integrity, passion, confidence with humility, comfort with ambiguity,
collaborative style, and purpose-driven desire to help humanity).
● Ability and willingness to roll up your sleeves and participate across the board, even
helping with development tasks when needed.
