1. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES ENGINEER
www.bodylabs.com | 7 West 18th St., 7th Floor, New York, NY 10011 | jobs@bodylabs.com
DESCRIPTION
At Body Labs, we are building a software platform that can understand bodies, how they
move, and how people's body shape vary across the population, and across their life.
Up until now, understanding of body shapes has been done in an ad -hoc manner, such as
that of a tailor who understands how to measure so that the clothes will fit. With the arrival
of widely available 3d cameras and depth sensors, that understanding can becom e
quantitative, statistical, and automated.
To this end, Body Labs has constructed the world's most so phisticated, data-driven, digital
model of human shape and pose. Our algorithms are the result of 8 years of scientif ic
research drawing from the fields of computer vision, machine learning and robotics. We
can model accurately how individuals fit within p articular sub-populations, including
those poorly served by existing methods, such as plus -sized, petites, uncommon foot
shapes, etc.
We work closely with apparel and equipment companies to help them better understand
and visualize their target consumers' body shapes and motions, and improve their design -
to-manufacturing workflows.
We are looking for a Professional Services Engineer who can focus on deliver ing our
software services / consulting business. We are particular ly interested in someone with
sufficient technical skills to be able to quickly get up to speed on developer - level tools
