Testing, Validation & Failure Analysis

  • Develop and execute rigorous test and qualification protocols across environmental, mechanical, and usage scenarios.
  • Partner with reliability engineering to establish lifecycle and safety test standards.

  • Vendor & Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Collaborate with supply chain and operations teams to qualify and manage battery cell and pack vendors, with a focus on Asia-based suppliers.
  • Work closely with electrical, mechanical, firmware, and systems engineers to ensure seamless integration and performance.
  • Provide guidance to cross-functional teams on best practices for battery handling, testing, and integration.
  • 15-20% Travel Required to our key suppliers throughout Europe and Asia
  • Technology Roadmap & Strategy

  • Stay ahead of emerging battery technologies and assess their applicability to Oura’s products.
  • Influence long-term product architecture by aligning battery capabilities with product and design requirements.
  • Act as Oura’s internal subject matter expert on battery chemistry, safety, and packaging trends.
  • Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in battery design and integration for consumer electronics or similarly high-volume, compact devices.
  • Deep expertise in battery technologies, including chemistry, construction, safety, and packaging, with experience in Li-ion and emerging chemistries.
  • Hands-on experience collaborating directly with battery cell and pack vendors, particularly in Asia.
  • Familiarity with battery management systems (BMS), protection circuits, and system-level integration.
  • Demonstrated success defining and meeting battery-level and product-level reliability, safety, and lifetime goals.
  • Proven ability to lead failure analysis and implement corrective actions.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively in cross-functional and international teams.
  • Benefits
