Motion Sensor Algorithm Engineer

Position Description

InfoMotion Sports Technologies Inc. (IST) is looking for a dedicated, self-motivated, intermediate to senior level engineer to develop motion algorithms that will be implemented on IST’s sensor technology platform. This is a full-time position, with benefits, for immediate hire in Columbus, Ohio.

Job Description

• Design and implementation of data collection experiments, algorithm development, integration and verification into embedded platforms
• Optimize motion algorithms to minimize processing time and allow results to be available in ‘real-time’
• Contribute to the development of new/novel algorithms to recognize the pattern of activities/sports motions. Examples including, athleticism drills, basketball shooting, soccer dribbling and shooting drills, and more.
• Assist with the develop firmware to generate and/or improve the accuracy of inertial data needed as input to motion pattern recognizing algorithms

Required

• Experience with inertial sensor fusion using accelerometers, rate gyros, and magnetometers
• Advanced understanding of algorithmic methods for processing signals to achieve highly efficient code implementations
• Ability to reconcile real-world observations with analytic predictions or simulation models used to create algorithms by gathering real sensor data and using that data as input for simulations of candidate algorithms
• Minimum of 3+ years of motion sensor algorithm design and development
• Degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering or equivalent field (Masters or PhD preferred)
• Excellent written and communications skills in a fast pace, collaborative environment
• Fluent in MatLab or similar signal analysis software tools

Desired

• Real-world experience with implementing state space control/Kalman filtering using internal sensor data
• 5+ years of motion sensor algorithm design and development
• Experience with translating floating point algorithms to fixed point processor or similar architectures

Location
