- Candidate must possess in-depth knowledge and understanding of human biomechanics and movement, specifically musculoskeletal biomechanics
- Demonstrated experience developing scientific software or engineering tools with computational physics engines (e.g., OpenSim, Anybody, MSC Adams)
- Familiarity with version control tools (e.g., Git), CI / CD, and software documentation including an understanding of testing and maintaining code
- Candidate must have strong writing skills (publications, proposals, and reports)
Desired Skills :
- Object-oriented programming, specifically C++, Python, and / or Java
- Camera-based motion capture
- Game-development (Unity)
- Sensors and Bluetooth integration
- Integrating data from motion capture systems (Vicon, Xsens)
- Integrating musculoskeletal with finite element modeling
Location : This role could be based in either Huntsville, AL or Beavercreek, OH, and is 100% onsite.
