ENGINEER - RESEARCH ENGINEER - MUSCULOSKELETAL BIOMECHANICAL
Job Summary:
Use advanced computational and experimental techniques and facilities to address a wide range of biomechanics challenges; use advanced motion capture systems and other sensor data (e.g. force plate, EMG, accelerometer, etc.) in combination with biomechanical modeling and simulation to determine the performance of the human body during various activities including physical rehabilitation, physical athletic training, and other human performance applications; apply advanced probabilistic mechanics and reliability methods to investigate how uncertainties associated with biological systems affect predictions of musculoskeletal performance and functionality; participate and eventually lead individual and collaborative research projects as well as develop, promote and write proposals for research programs; interact with commercial and government clients; write and present reports and technical papers; and manage the technical and financial performance of projects.
Education/Experience:
Requires a MS degree in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Mechanics or Biomedical Engineering with at least a 3.25 GPA and 0 - 5 years of experience. Must have experience in developing multi-body dynamics models of musculoskeletal systems; experience with commercial motion capture systems, force plates, wearable sensors, and EMG; experience with commercial and open source software and programming languages such as OpenSim, AnyBody, Python, and Matlab; experience in uncertainty analysis or probabilistic mechanics, experimental methods and data collection, machine vision, machine learning, and advanced data analysis methods desired. A valid/clear driver's license is required.
