Senior Quality Engineer

Our Mission Happiest Baby is a mission-driven company helping parents raise healthy, happy children. We created SNOO, a smarter, safer baby bed, and are also developing many more landmark products, content, and services.

SNOO adds 1-2 hours of sleep per night and keeps babies in the safest position for sleep, the back. Back sleeping is associated with a reduced risk of SIDS (which kills 3,500 sleeping babies / year).

In fact, SNOO received FDA De Novo Approval for its ability to keep sleeping babies on their back. SNOO has won more top awards than any other baby bed, helped hundreds of thousands of parents, is used in over 100 hospitals, is a top employee benefit at scores of companies, and has been exhibited in six of the world's top museums (including being invited into the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution!).

Happiest Baby was founded by one of the world’s most trusted pediatricians, Dr. Harvey Karp, and his entrepreneur wife, Nina Montée-Karp.

Dr. Karp’s celebrated books / videos have helped millions of parents and are translated into over thirty languages. Released in 2016, SNOO is the result of a collaboration between Dr.

Karp, award-winning industrial designer Yves Behar (founder of SF-based, Fuseproject) and Dr. Deb Roy (Director, Laboratory for Social Machines, MIT Media Lab).
