The Senior Performance Biomechanist delivers athlete-centered biomechanical performance support for elite athletes and National Governing Bodies (NGBs) as part of the Applied Science team. Working within an interdisciplinary performance model, the role designs and implements biomechanical assessment, movement analysis, physical monitoring, and applied performance insight strategies that enhance athlete readiness, technical development, movement efficiency, robustness, and competitive performance across USOPC training centers, NGB environments, national team camps, and major international competitions.

The role provides advanced biomechanical expertise within assigned sport environments, translating movement analysis, performance diagnostics, and biomechanical data into practical recommendations that inform athlete preparation, training design, injury risk management, and competition readiness. Working closely with coaches and interdisciplinary performance staff, the role contributes to athlete profiling, performance planning, and integrated service delivery that supports sustained high performance.

• Deliver senior-level biomechanical performance support for elite athletes within assigned Olympic and/or Paralympic sports across USOPC training centers, NGB environments, national team camps, and major international competitions.
• Design and implement biomechanical assessment, movement analysis, and monitoring strategies that inform athlete preparation, technical development, movement efficiency, and competitive readiness.
• Provide biomechanical expertise to athletes, coaches, and performance staff to enable technical skill development, training design, return-to-performance progression, and competition preparation.
• Conduct laboratory, field-based, and training environment biomechanical assessments using appropriate technologies, sport-specific analysis methods, and diagnostics.
• Translate performance data, applied sport science research, and biomechanical principles into practical recommendations that improve performance outcomes.
• Collaborate with coaches, strength and conditioning, physiology, sports medicine, performance technology, and other interdisciplinary performance staff to integrate biomechanical insights into athlete support plans.
• Provide biomechanical expertise during training camps, competition preparation periods, and major events, including World Championships, Olympic Games, and Paralympic Games.

• Conduct athlete biomechanical profiling through movement analysis, performance diagnostics, technical observation, video analysis, force-time analysis, motion capture, wearable technologies, and other relevant assessment methods.
• Analyze, interpret, and translate biomechanical information into practical recommendations to inform athlete performance planning, technical development, physical preparation, and day-to-day decision-making.
• Ensure the validity, accuracy,…
