Working closely with hardware, product, and science teams on campus, you'll translate cutting‑edge science into real‑world products.

This is a US hybrid role based in the San Francisco office. We require candidates to be onsite at least three days per week.

• Become an expert on Oura Ring data‑collection capabilities, as well as relevant reference devices and tools through first‑hand testing.
• Ensure data collections run smoothly, efficiently, and according to protocol.
• Manage equipment inventory, ensuring devices are organized and ready for use.
• Pursue continual process and tool improvements through creating and refining Standard Operating Procedures.
• Implement and upload human‑subjects research best practices following Good Clinical Practice.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Psychology, Health Science, Exercise Science, Human Biology, Cognitive Science, Public Health, Data Science, or a related interdisciplinary field.
• At least one year of full‑time experience in hardware testing or human studies research in academic, commercial, or clinical settings (e.g., consent, IRB approval, data flows).
• A strong record of delivering high‑quality datasets with meticulous documentation.
• Experience problem‑solving, adapting, and working in a fast‑paced environment.
• A team‑oriented mindset and experience working with both internal and external research teams (e.g., data or clinical scientists, principal investigators, vendors, administrative and legal collaborators).
• Recent (within the past two years) Human‑Subjects/Good Clinical Practice training, such as CITI.
• Willingness to work flexible hours for global team calls (including Finland time zones) and occasional travel for site visits or meetings.

We also appreciate if you have familiarity with the following

• Wearable devices or remote patient monitoring.
• Multi‑modal and sensor data.
• Python, SQL, GitHub.
