Job Description
Onsite in WA - Redmond - 5 Days
Overview
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.
Day-to-Day 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
Minimum Requirements
3 years of academic or industry experience with OptiTrack or Vicon systems and accompanying software
Familiarity with motion capture technology and systems for both skeleton and rigid-body tracking
Preferred Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in a relevant technical field, e.g. electrical engineering or computer science
3 years of programming experience in Python, MATLAB, and/or C/C
Understanding and experience in audio signal processing
Experience in designing and performing audio/acoustic experiments in controlled laboratory settings
Understanding of camera/optical systems and tradeoffs (sensor size, aperture, back focus, FOV, exposure, etc.)
Experience with ego-centric video
Experience with SLAM
Experience with RGBD tracking
Experience with synchronizing multimodal sensor data
Experience with writing software for receiving, parsing, and utilizing streaming motion-capture data
Experience with rigid-body marker design (active and passive) for simultaneous tracking of large numbers of rigid bodies
Experience with full-body tracking methods
