Delsys Inc. () is the world leader in wearable and non-contact sensor technology for high performance electromyography, biomechanics, and physiology instruments. Since our inception in 1993, we have focused on building a strong interdisciplinary engineering team to solve some of the most intractable challenges for non-invasive biosignal sensing for human performance research and education. We maintain a fully-featured design and production facility, serving a unique portfolio of hardware and software products that support clients and institutions in over 85 countries.

Together with our affiliate company Altec Inc. () we maintain an active portfolio of research programs that leverage the latest advances in computational technologies and sensor solutions to serve a wide variety of industrial, academic, and federal government needs.

At Delsys, we develop innovative, human-centric sensing technologies that advance health science, human performance, and rehabilitation research. We are seeking an R&D Engineer who is passionate about designing algorithms that translate multi-modal data into actionable outcomes to provide new insights into human movement and physiology.

As an R&D Engineer, you will contribute to the design and implementation of computer vision/signal processing methods and computational tools that transform complex human signals into meaningful, actionable information. Working in close collaboration with scientists, engineers, and clinical researchers, you will gain hands-on experience translating research into practical solutions with broad impact.

• Design and implement signal processing and computer vision algorithms to extract relevant features from physiological signals collected via multi-modal hardware platforms (wearable and non-contact sensing modalities).
• Develop algorithms (e.g., pattern recognition, classification, or model-based methods) to characterize and track human biomechanics, physiology, speech, and motor control.
• Develop metrics and error analysis frameworks to evaluate algorithm performance. Prototype, benchmark and refine algorithms to balance accuracy, speed, and efficiency.
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to integrate algorithms into hardware prototypes and evaluate performance in real-world applications.

• Currently pursuing or have a BS or MS in robotics, computer or electrical engineering, computer science, physics, or a related technical field.
