This is an exciting opportunity to join a team that is dedicated to translating cutting edge biomechanics tools from the laboratory into real-world applications that have a positive impact on human health and performance.
In this role, the candidate will work closely with a diverse technical team to support the development of a wide range of software tools, from computationally intensive physics-based simulations to virtual reality based rehabilitation solutions. The development tasks will include implementing algorithms to expand the musculoskeletal simulation platforms such as OpenSim. Candidate will also develop plugins for 3rd party tools such as Unity.

Candidate will need to demonstrate strong communication skills while interacting with multiple stakeholders (internal and external) to shape technical solutions as well as communicate information to both customers and collaborators. Candidate should enjoy working within a team environment that includes a variety of technical areas of expertise and a passion for developing technology.


Basic Qualifications:

  • Master's Degree in Biomedical, Mechanical or Electrical Engineering or related STEM discipline; preferred candidate will have a PhD
  • 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.
