WHAT YOU WILL WORK ON
As a Principal Algorithms Engineer, you will play a critical role in driving the execution of our powered athlete product roadmap. You will be responsible for the algorithm behavior of powered athlete products and services.
IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL
- Develop and implement/program firmware and software algorithms for sensor primitives that underlie powered athlete products and services.
- Advance algorithmic methodologies that enable capture of rich athlete data on resource-constrained embedded devices.
- Develop descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive models that link data from powered athlete products to athlete endpoints such as performance, fatigue, and injury.
- Deliver real-time firmware algorithms that compute sensor primitives for powered athlete products and experiences.
- Deliver embedded machine learning models capable of learning at the edge.
- Deliver descriptive and predictive models that link data from powered athlete products to athlete performance, fatigue, and injury.
- Establish and manage accurate tracking of critical metrics and translate feedback into enhancement recommendations.
