  • 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 is based in the Huntsville, AL area, and is 100% onsite.
