WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We're looking for an experienced teammate to conduct research at the intersection of sport, biomechanics, and robotics to help develop new, innovative products for everyday athletes. You would work closely with a research team and use biomechanical hardware and software systems to collect, analyze, and interpret data. The successful candidate would bring skills in these areas, an ability to communicate complex data in simple ways, and an innovators mindset.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
As a contract researcher in a leading global footwear & retail company's Sport Research Lab, you will work closely with the Principal Researcher to understand the research plan and vision, then execute the experiments independently. You may also develop new tools, methods, and procedures to streamline data acquisition. Finally, you will analyze and summarize data from research to communicate findings to the Principal Researcher and research team.
A typical week would include meetings with a Principal Researcher to align on the research experiment plan, heads-down work time to operationalize that program, and hands-on laboratory work to collect and analyze the relevant data. It would also include meetings with other research colleagues to align on progress and next steps in the research process.
Qualifications
- MSc in Biomechanics, Engineering, Kinesiology, or related fields, or BS plus 2 years of experience
- Experience using in-lab and field-based biomechanical data collection tools with human test participants
- Effective communication, people, and collaboration skills
- Experience writing programs for biomechanical analyses, signal processing, and statistical analyses (Python, Matlab, R, Visual 3D, and/or Javascript)
- Bias toward action and resilience in the face of challenges
- Experience in robotics or mechatronics is a plus
