Hardware Recruiter (6 Months, Fixed Term)

We are in search of an exceptional Hardware Recruiter to support critical hiring across our Hardware, Firmware, and Sensing organizations. This role is ideal for a recruiter with deep experience in full-cycle recruiting for hardware and connected device teams within consumer technology environments, and who understands how to evaluate both technical depth and real-world product execution.

As a vital member of our recruiting team, you will partner closely with executives, hardware leaders, and cross-functional stakeholders to build diverse, high-performing teams and deliver an exceptional candidate experience. You will help shape how we attract and hire engineers and operators who can design, build, test, and scale world-class wearable hardware and sensing platforms.

Reporting to the Global Head of Recruiting in San Francisco, you will collaborate closely with our existing global recruiting team, contribute to process improvement initiatives, and identify innovative sourcing strategies. You will directly engage with executives and organizational leaders to support critical hiring decisions that drive our business forward.

This is a remote US role. We have offices in San Francisco and San Diego for those who prefer hybrid or office settings. OURA employees in other major cities (like Boston and New York) occasionally gather informally at local co-working locations.

What you will do:

• Own and drive full-cycle recruiting for Hardware and related roles, including sourcing, screening, interviewing, and closing candidates
• Recruit across roles such as Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Firmware, Systems Engineering, Materials Engineering and Sensing
• Build and maintain robust talent pipelines using creative, multi-channel sourcing strategies for both short-term hiring needs and long-term workforce planning
  Partner closely with hiring managers and leadership to deeply understand technical requirements, team structure, and role expectations, translating those into tailored recruiting strategies and interview plans
• Screen and assess candidates for both functional excellence (technical rigor, execution, hardware fundamentals) and product mindset (user impact, collaboration, and problem-solving)
• Act as a strategic advisor to stakeholders, providing regular updates on pipeline health, market insights, leveling guidance, and hiring progress
• Use data, judgment, and storytelling to influence hiring decisions and improve funnel quality and speed
• Partner with the broader recruiting team to build efficient, scalable, and inclusive hiring processes
• Collaborate with People Operations partners to support thoughtful organizational design, targeted talent acquisition, and intentional internal mobility
• Serve as an advocate for both candidates and the company, ensuring consistent communication, follow-through, and a best-in-class candidate experience
• Identify opportunities for process improvement and implement tools and practices that improve recruiter efficiency and hiring outcomes
  
  

REQUIREMENTS

We would love to consider you for this role if you have:

• 4+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in fast-paced, high-growth environments
• Background recruiting in consumer technology companies (wearables, IoT, medical devices, or hardware-enabled platforms)
  Proven ability to close senior-level and highly specialized technical talent
• Strong understanding of hardware and firmware roles, including how to evaluate hands-on engineering experience, design tradeoffs, and manufacturing readiness
• Demonstrated success using ATS platforms (e.g., Greenhouse) and sourcing tools (e.g., GEM), with a track record of driving process improvements
• Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous environments, balance multiple priorities, and partner closely with senior leaders
• Consistent history of meeting or exceeding hiring goals and building trusted partnerships with hiring managers
• Experience coaching hiring managers and supporting long-term, strategic hiring plans
  Demonstrated passion, ownership, and drive, paired with a warm, professional, and candidate-first approach
