Founded in 2011 by Stanford entrepreneurs Monisha Perkash, Charles Wang and Andrew Chang, and cited by multiple tech publications as a wearable startup to watch, Lumo Bodytech’s technology platform leverages smart sensors and software to optimize performance and address human biomechanics through real-time tracking of body movement. Headquartered in Palo Alto, the company has 30 employees, half of whom work specifically on the core technology. Open positions include Algorithms Engineers, Mobile Developers, Data Scientists and QA/Test Engineers. Andrew Chang, Lumo Bodytech’s CTO and co-founder, says that, in order to maintain a great user experience for their products, they want team members to have expertise in all types of technology. “This includes hardware, sensors, firmware, software (application and user experience design), cloud, and data science,” he said, adding that, while candidates need to be highly accomplished in their own specialization, they also must work well with those in other technology areas in order to seamlessly integrate hardware and software components. According to Chang, required skills for Engineers, Developers and Data Scientists include:
- BS degree or higher in Math, Computer Science or Physics
- Strong fluency in C/C++, MATLABS, and designing and building machine learning algorithms in C/C++
- Objective-C programming and app development on iOS
- Embedded systems programming on small-footprint and low-power systems
- Knowledge of digital signal processing
- Ability to analyze large amounts of data
- Familiarity with algorithm optimization
- BS/BA degree in Computer Science (or equivalent)
- Ability to identify issues in complex systems
- Experience in writing scripts and frameworks for verification, acceptance, unit testing or automation
- Experience in one or more mobile app test automation frameworks
- Strong CS fundamentals.
