Research Engineers in iOS app design, machine learning, human movement - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Job description

We seek research engineers and/or computer scientists to join us at the KTH MoveAbility Lab, to work with a Digital Futures collaborative project with the Region Stockholm hospitals. The aim is to measure human movement with deep cameras, trained with machine learning.  Specific tasks with this position are:

• Create an IOS app for the project that measures human movement with the inbuilt LiDAR sensors, uploads data in a relevant format to cloud storage, and enables video communication between clinician and patient.
• Create a machine learning algorithm that improves validity of human movement measured from iOS devices with LiDAR cameras and Apple’s ARKit by training it on more precisely measured 3D movement data measured in our lab. The algorithm should correct systematic errors in ARKit’s human body model and compute anatomical joint positions and angles.
• Validate whether body positions and angles computed with ARKit + machine learning can be accurate enough to be useful in measuring movement in persons with pathological movements due to motor disorders
• Assist with validation experiments in the lab and elsewhere

What we offer

• A position at a leading technical university that generates knowledge and skills for a sustainable future.
• Engaged and ambitious colleagues along with a creative, international and dynamic working environment
• Work in Stockholm, in close proximity to nature
• Help to relocate and get settled in Sweden and at KTH.
