Biomechanics Engineer - KinaTrax
About The Position
The Biomechanics Engineer is an intermediate-level role focused on biomechanics algorithm development and applied analysis across multiple sports markets. Working closely with the Head of Biomechanics, you will deliver consistent, high-quality results that provide actionable insights for player development, health monitoring, and scouting. This role requires a unique blend of technical expertise, specifically in managing large datasets and advanced modeling and the applied ability to interpret that data for "front office" stakeholders, coaches, and athletes. You will also assist with R&D initiatives to establish Return on Investment (ROI) and develop new use cases for biomechanics data in emerging sports.
Requirements
- Biomechanics Expertise: Deep understanding of biomechanics principles, including inverse kinematics and dynamics, musculoskeletal modeling, and signal processing techniques.
- Technical Proficiencies: Strong proficiency in Python, C++ or other open-source languages for data organization and interpretation.
- Visual3D development and coding experience is strongly preferred.
- Experience with linear algebra and mathematics relevant to biomechanics.
- Data Science & Statistics: Expertise in statistical design for research purposes and a solid understanding of data science principles.
- Applied Background: Proven experience using biomechanics for decision-making related to performance or health in a medical or sports context.
- Systems Knowledge: Proficiency with motion capture technology, including camera setup, calibration, and integration with third-party hardware like force plates.
- Communication: Ability to carry technical conversations with engineers while also being able to explain "What is this analysis telling me?" to non-technical stakeholders like athletes and coaches.
- Passion: A genuine passion for sports and the evolution of athlete performance metrics.
