Electrical Jobs 2026 (Now Hiring) – Smart Auto Apply

Our mission at Oura is to empower every person to own their inner potential. Our award-winning products help our global community gain a deeper knowledge of their readiness, activity, and sleep quality by using their Oura Ring and its connected app. We've helped millions of people understand and improve their health by providing daily insights and practical steps to inspire healthy lifestyles.

Empowering the world starts with living our values and empowering our team. As a quickly growing company focused on helping people live healthier and happier lives, we ensure that our team members have what they need to do their best work — both in and out of the office. 

We're looking for a Director, Electrical Modules Quality to join our Quality team in San Francisco, California. This is a newly created role designed to establish and lead Oura's Core Technology Quality function — a group of deep subject matter experts (SMEs) embedded within the Quality organization to provide specialized technical depth across the most complex electrical domains in our products.

As the founding leader of this group, you will be both a hands-on technical contributor and an organizational builder. You will personally drive failure analysis, qualification strategies, and quality standards across batteries, printed wiring board assemblies (PWBAs/SMT), EE components, and EE modules — while simultaneously building out a team of SMEs. Over time, as the team grows, you will transition into a broader leadership role while remaining the technical authority for your domain.

This is a hybrid role based out of our San Francisco office with the expectation to be onsite 3 days per week.

What you will do:

• Build and grow the Core Tech Quality team: Establish and lead the Core Technology Quality function, recruiting and developing a team of SMEs across batteries, PWBA/SMT, and EE components and modules.
• Drive deep technical quality ownership: Serve as the primary technical authority on battery, PWBA/SMT, EE component, and EE module quality, owning failure analysis, corrective actions, and qualification strategies across NPI programs from EVT through PVT and into mass production.
• Define component and material quality standards: Define and enforce quality standards, test methods, and acceptance criteria for batteries, SMT assemblies, and EE components and modules across the supply chain.
• Champion quality in NPI: Partner closely with Hardware R&D, Process Engineering, and NPI teams to identify and mitigate design and process risks early — with a focus on electrical (battery, PWBA, EE components/modules) failure modes.
• Lead FA/CA for Core Technology domains: Lead comprehensive Failure Analysis (FA) on battery, PWBA, EE component, and EE module failures; drive root cause identification and implement robust Corrective Actions (CA) through Design of Experiments (DOEs) and Product Release Qualifications (PRQs).
• Manage supplier quality for core technology components: Set up and manage supplier quality systems at battery, PWBA, and EE component/module suppliers, ensuring reliable data collection, process controls, and accountability for quality deliverables.
• Monitor and improve production quality and yield: Ensure yield bridging from NPI to mass production for electrical and materials-related quality metrics, proactively addressing process marginalities and quality alerts that impact product performance.
• Establish quality control parameters: Establish quality control parameters including component specification limits (functional, dimensional, cosmetic, reliability) and critical process control limits for electrical components.
• Influence design and process improvements: Influence design and process decisions through data-driven analysis, clearly communicating technical risk and quality trade-offs to Hardware, Supply Chain, and senior leadership.

Requirements

We would love to have you on our team if you have:

• Minimum of 12+ years of experience in a Supplier, Manufacturing, or Product Quality/Reliability Engineering role, with at least 6 years of people management experience
• Deep hands-on expertise in battery quality and/or PWBA/SMT quality engineering in a high-volume consumer electronics environment — this is a non-negotiable technical foundation for the role; additional experience with EE components and EE modules is strongly preferred
• Demonstrated experience leading Failure Analysis (FA) and Corrective Actions (CA) programs, including DOEs and PRQs
• Proven experience establishing and managing quality systems at suppliers (QMS), including IQC/IPQC/OQC controls, sampling plans, and process audits
• Expert knowledge of quality engineering principles and tools including GRR, SPC, 8D, FMEA, and DOEs
• Strong understanding of manufacturing principles and tools such as DFM, GD&T, Six Sigma, and LEAN methodologies
• Demonstrated experience with Engineering Change Control (ECR/ECN) processes
• Strong communication skills with the ability to synthesize complex technical data and present it clearly to all levels of the organization, including senior leadership
• Self-driven and eager problem solver who thrives in demanding, quick-paced environments
• Well-organized and able to clearly communicate complex issues through slide decks and written communication
• BS in Engineering (Electrical, Materials Science, Mechanical, or a related field) is required; advanced degree is a plus
• Willingness to travel domestically and internationally up to 30%
