R&D Engineer II

Job Description

We are looking for a contract Tracking / Motion-Capture Engineer to work with motion-capture systems to support various tracking-related tasks (e.g. head or full-body tracking) in support of audio/acoustic data collection, experimentation, and demo design. Interest in audio signal processing, audio hardware systems, and acoustics would be a plus.

Responsibilities:

* Design, optimize, build, and maintain robust optical tracking systems for motion capture within larger experimental setups, including marker-based and non-marker-based tracking

* Troubleshoot and repair tracking systems (optical and other) as needed to maintain experiment throughput

* Determine/develop methods of storing and assessing tracking data, while iterating on system design and configuration to improve data quality and capacity

* Other systems-related engineering and lab setup work as required

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
