Prototype & Test Engineer

Eight Sleep is the first sleep fitness company. 1 in 3 people are sleep deprived, and the CDC calls insufficient sleep a public health epidemic. Our mission is to fix this and fuel human potential through optimal sleep.

In 2019, we launched our temperature-controlled smart bed, The Pod. We now power the sleep of over 60,000 people every night, including athletes like 2021 Crossfit Champion Justin Medeiros and Olympic gold medalist Red Gerard. We were given GQ’s Fitness Award and Men’s Health’s Sleep Award, and recognized as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies.

We raised $90M last year from leading Silicon Valley investors, and are working on exciting new products that go beyond temperature control of the bed.
