Who is Xsens
Xsens is a leading full-stack provider of sensors, software, and analytics that enable the digitization of movement. Xsens serves entertainment, humanoid robotics, health & sports and automation & mobility markets. By turning complex motion data into actionable insight, we help our partners accelerate development, improve control and learning, and bring physically intelligent systems to life. We collaborate with leading global innovators including Boston Dynamics, Toyota, Siemens, Electronic Arts, Epic Games, Netflix, and 20th Century Studios, alongside more than 1,000 research institutions, humanoid robotics companies and universities worldwide.
Your role as a Computer Vision Engineer at Xsens
As a Computer Vision Engineer, you will lead camera-based perception for Xsens motion capture. Your role is to establish Deep Learning and Computer Vision pipelines to turn camera images into human pose estimate. You will learn from the highly-skilled team of sensor fusion experts, biomechanists and mathematicians. You will be its computer vision specialist, and report to the Technology Manager. The position is open to hybrid / remote working.
Key challenges:
Select, adapt and fine-tune deep learning models for 2D and 3D human pose estimation from cameras, that perform robustly in challenging real-world conditions.
Develop camera models and calibration routines for a range of camera and lens configurations.
Evaluation of motion capture output and developing compensatory algorithms and techniques to handle camera /vision failure modes.
Build training and evaluation pipelines from camera and optical motion capture recordings. Use synthetic data where real data is insufficient.
Track the computer vision research landscape and assess whether new techniques are feasible for Xsens products.
Requirements
Xsens is looking for a hands-on Computer Vision Engineer who combines strong theoretical foundations with a proven ability to build and ship working systems.
Required MSc/PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics or a related field, with years of relevant industry or applied research experience.
Hands-on experience training and fine-tuning deep learning models for human pose estimation, with results evaluated on public benchmarks.
Solid understanding of camera and lens models, including wide field-of-view optics, intrinsic and extrinsic calibration, and multi-view geometry.
Familiarity with the output representations of common pose models, such as keypoint sets and SMPL-family parameters.
Experience with tools in markerless eco-system such as OpenCV, Sapiens, and SAM3D.
Proficiency in Python. Working knowledge of C++ for integrating models into an existing C++ codebase.
Preferred Experience with synthetic data generation and rendering pipelines.
Experience optimizing models for real-time deployment, for example with ONNX, TensorRT or quantization.
Experience building datasets and benchmarks for human motion.
