Diamond Kinetics enhances the games of baseball and softball by creating engaging experiences that help players improve and also have fun.

We are the market leader in mobile motion technology and information that enables player development, superior equipment fitting, objective scouting and recruiting, and engagement-driven entertainment. We do this leveraging an exclusive license to issued patents from the University of Michigan and the University of Pittsburgh, deep technical expertise, key strategic partnerships and our love for the game. 

Diamond Kinetics is a fast-paced, performance-driven company where responsibility comes fast and exceeding expectations is the expectation. The work is challenging but exciting, especially for those who love sports. We believe in stretching for growth as a company, and as professionals, and seek competitive, self-motivated people as teammates who do the same. Our small, but growing software/R&D team is a great opportunity for talented engineers to impact our technology from the ground up.

The Computer Vision Engineer - iOS at Diamond Kinetics will develop the next generation of interactive computer vision-based games for baseball and softball. Our MLB-backed startup is developing a number of real-time interactive games that run on sufficiently modern iOS devices. The focus of this position will be analyzing the performance of complex computer vision systems on real world applications, building end-to-end pipelines and metrics for fast model evaluation, and understanding data / model biases.

This person utilizes their knowledge of mobile development and computer vision methods to develop cutting-edge visual tracking systems for use in baseball/softball player development. In this Research & Development focused role, you will integrate computer vision models with mobile device hardware, taking maximum advantage of native iOS resources to create the best possible performance for end-users.

As a Computer Vision Engineer - iOS at Diamond Kinetics, you will join our team of experienced application developers, mechanical engineers, and sports marketers to design new computer vision capabilities and applications that work within Diamond Kinetics’ iOS applications. This position will require both native iOS development experience as well as practical experience applying computer vision techniques to real world problems.

Diamond Kinetics’ team and our product offerings are growing quickly, so the role requires an energetic and self-motivated individual with excellent communication, organization, and technical skills to work cross functionally with other organizations (internal and external), who can communicate to all levels of management.
