Salary Are you someone who is passionate about working with products that improve people’s lives? Come join us!
Here at IMeasureU (IMU), having developed inertial sensors and a software platform that precisely quantifies body movement and workload metrics of professional athletes, we are looking to expand our understanding of human movement to create new solutions that help and support people during rehabilitation. As a part of Vicon, the world leader in precision motion capture, working at IMU means you’ll develop an intimate knowledge of inertial sensors, motion capture and tracking systems from our office in Kingsland, Auckland.
Working closely with our development team, you will help identify opportunities to test and stretch our products in real-world scenarios, improving customer experiences and helping a wide range of people around the world. You will also use your attention to detail & passion for biomechanics to validate new algorithms and metrics for both existing & future products.
