Job description

Overview

About Us

LiquidXR is an expanding, well-funded startup building a platform to digitize human movement. We are creating next-gen wearables using proprietary MetalGel sensor technology, capturing and feeding movement data to our machine learning-enhanced algorithms and SDKs, which connect to any modern computer or development environment. We are partnered with several high-quality companies co-developing products using our tech, and we are advancing our platform to enable all types of body movement data capture and analysis across multiple areas of use (gaming, sports, performance, XR, and more).

Our tight knit hardware and software team is comprised of experts in product and UX development, biomechanics, algorithms and machine learning, software platform and experience development, electronic engineering, and soft goods industrial design. Individually and collectively, this is a team who gets things done and among us, countless products have been launched worldwide. We are passionate about creating a transformative platform and we are fortunate to work on cool products using our tech along the way.

The Role

We are seeking a Software Engineer to interface with embedded systems, machine learning models, and 3D game engines. This role focuses on building reliable, reusable systems that build upon and expand our current architecture for wearable input devices.

You will work on interfacing with BTLE devices, motion and orientation estimation through IMU arrays, and creating plugins for popular game engines like Unity, Unreal, and Godot.

What You'll Do

• Write C/C++ code to interface with custom BTLE hardware
• Build systems to expose the abilities of the custom hardware to multiple platforms and engines
  • Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android
  • Unity, Unreal, and others
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to provide feedback and improvements across the full application stack. This includes:
  • Testing and debugging with custom embedded systems.
  • Investigating motion tracking and pose estimation systems.
  • Making tools for data collection, validation, and analysis.
• R&D with sensor fusion, machine vision, and motion capture.

What You'll Bring (Qualifications)

• Strong experience with C/C++
• Additional experience in platform specific languages such as Swift, C#, TypeScript, and Kotlin
• Familiarity with IMUs and VQF algorithms.
• Experience working with or integrating machine learning models in real-time applications
• Experience with multiple popular game engines.
• Experience with embedded systems or consoles.
