Type: Fixed-term or Full-time
Location: London · On-site · May require occasional travel
Compensation: £65–85k/year, in accordance with experience
The Role
We are building integrated human and non-human motion-capture and neurophysiological recording systems for both controlled lab studies and naturalistic, in-the-wild data collection.
We are looking for an experienced researcher engineer that is hands-on to own the London capture site across both lab and field settings: set up and run the hardware, import and enforce best-practice capture protocols, and ensure every session executes reliably and reproducibly. This is an operational role: you'll take defined capture standards and make them run at scale, not design the science.
Responsibilities
Experimental Operations
-
Implement and maintain streamlined, minimal capture protocols
-
Import and operationalize best-practice standards for human mocap
-
Prepare and run recording sessions
-
Maintain clear SOPs and documentation
-
Ensure sessions are reproducible and well logged
Hardware & Systems
-
Set up and maintain motion-capture and neurophysiological recording systems
-
Integrate all devices on a shared clock (video, kinematics, physiological streams)
-
Troubleshoot signal, sync, and capture-quality issues
-
Assemble and maintain multi-camera / multi-sensor rigs
-
Manage equipment inventory, calibration, and camera setup
Infrastructure
-
Oversee lab layout and capture-space setup
-
Maintain structured data storage, formats, and backups
-
Coordinate procurement and supplier communication
Requirements
Core (essential)
-
Experience with human motion capture (marker-based, markerless/computer-vision, or IMU-suit systems)
-
Multi-camera calibration and time synchronization
-
Strong hardware troubleshooting ability
-
Comfortable with embedded systems
-
Basic Python scripting
-
Organized and systematic; disciplined about documentation and reproducibility
Valued
-
Hand / finger kinematics capture and video pipelines
-
Structured data formats (e.g. HDF5) and reproducible data logging
-
Experience with physiological recording systems (EEG or similar), or willingness to cross-train
