Biomechanics Engineer

About the Role:

We are a group of IITM alumni incubated at IIT Madras, developing a unique Knee Health Report Card—a system that blends biomechanics, sensor data, and anatomical insight into the evaluation of knee performance and condition.

We're looking for an enthusiastic, self-driven, cross-disciplinary specialist who can join our core team and think creatively, build robust physical systems, and interact effectively with test subjects.

This is not a routine engineering job—we’re looking for someone who can merge science, design, and innovation, and help bring a new kind of health product to life.

Key Responsibilities:

• Analyse biomechanics and gait patterns to identify functional markers of knee health.
• Apply a deep understanding of muscle function and anatomy, especially the lower-limb musculoskeletal systems.
• Design and prototype embedded systems using sensors, microcontrollers, and data capture tools.
• Design and model mechanical components using CAD tools (e.g., Fusion 360, SolidWorks).
• Create anatomical and motion visualizations using Blender for internal use and presentation.
• Implement and test robust physical prototypes (e.g., wearable devices, mechanical mounts, sensor rigs).
• Work directly with human subjects—setup, guide through tests, and collect data effectively.
• Collaborate in defining and refining the Knee Health Report Card scoring/reporting system.

Required Skills & Experience:

• 2+ years and Strong background in biomechanics, gait analysis, and functional anatomy.
• Experience in embedded electronics: sensors, Arduino/Raspberry Pi, signal processing (bonus)
• Proficiency in CAD design (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, etc.).
• Working knowledge of Blender for 3D visualization and animation.
• Understanding of muscle dynamics, EMG data, or motion capture systems is a plus.
• Ability to design, prototype, and test physical hardware solutions.
• Comfortable interacting with human test subjects.
• Background in biomedical engineering, sports science, or physiotherapy.

Why Join Us?

This is a rare opportunity to work on a revolutionary health startup that merges physical movement science with real-time data systems. You’ll be part of a dynamic and active team with a common vision to improve lives through holistic joint health awareness!
