What you'll do:

• Collaborate on the development, training, and evaluation of sophisticated AI/ML models (e.g., deep learning, time-series models, other modeling techniques) with a solid understanding of different signal processing techniques, to predict, classify, and quantify fitness parameters.
• Work with complex physiological datasets, understanding the nuances of human performance, fitness levels and associated measurement data relationships.
• Design and execute data collection experiments to gather data for model training and validation, and to evaluate changes and new features. often involving human subjects research.
• Identify, diagnose/understand, AI/ML model performance, robustness and accuracy issues against established physiological benchmarks and real-world performance, and collaborate to make improvements.
• Deep dive into user data to understand how users interact with the application, identify key engagement drivers, and pinpoint areas for improvement.
• Evaluate different ML tools to understand relative technical advantages and disadvantages and provide clear informed recommendations to management.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Design teams to define problems, develop data-driven solutions, and ensure insights are integrated into product development cycles.

What we're looking for:

• Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree, or equivalent experience, in an applied field such as Engineering, Applied Physics, Applied Data Science or related topics, with specialisations such as Sports Analytics as a bonus.
• Experience: 3+ years of experience in a Data Science role, with a strong preference for experience in biomechanics, wearables, health & wellness, or fitness sectors.
• Programming Skills: Proficient in Python and SQL for data manipulation, analysis, and model development.
• Statistical Modeling & Machine Learning: Strong understanding and practical experience with various statistical techniques and machine learning algorithms (e.g., regression, classification, clustering, time series analysis, recommendation systems).
• Experimentation Design: Solid understanding of experimental design principles (A/B testing, multivariate testing), test sample sizes and statistical inference.
• Data Visualization: Experience with data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker, Matplotlib, Seaborn) to create clear and actionable insights.
• Excellent self-directed, analytical and problem-solving skills with a curious mindset and a passion for extracting insights from complex datasets.
• Communication: Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

Bonus points:

• Experience with big data technologies (e.g., Databricks).
• Interest or experience of electronics design principles and embedded programming such as Arduino projects.
• Experience of Open source/GitHub projects related to machine learning.
• You will have an interest in fitness, health, and well-being, with an understanding of the bodies response to exertion levels, structured training processes. and performance metrics such as FTP, VO2Max, Power Curve and HRV.
• You stay abreast with the latest research and advancements in physiological sensing, wearable technology, sports science, and machine learning.
