Mathematical Modelling Engineer - Diamond Sports
- On-site
- Hørsholm, Sjælland, Denmark
- R&D
Job description
Passionate about modeling real-world physics and turning it into actionable insights? Join a growing team whose baseball and softball tracking runs in stadiums and powers practice and scouting in facilities and academies worldwide!
Our Diamond Sports product team builds tracking used in stadiums, bullpens, training facilities, and academies across pros, colleges, and high schools. We’re growing and looking for a modelling specialist who can simplify complex physical systems into tractable mathematical representations and deliver accurate, reliable outputs in production.
As a Mathematical Modelling Engineer, you can be involved with design, implementation, and testing of models for trajectories and interactions such as bat swing, ball flight dynamics, spin-dependent aerodynamics, impact modelling, and you will quantify uncertainty so end users trust the numbers.
You will work closely with signal processing and computer vision engineers to fuse measurements, estimate parameters, and optimize model performance both in terms of accuracy and execution speed. Expect hands-on ownership from prototype to production, including numerical methods, profiling, and code quality.
You will balance rigor with pragmatism, choosing the right level of fidelity for the job and communicating trade-offs clearly. The position is based at our newly built HQ, Trackman Innovation Center, at the DTU Science Park in Hørsholm – a great environment for innovation and collaboration.
What will you be doing?
Build physics-based and data-assisted models for bat swing, ball flight, and impact
Estimate parameters
Quantify and optimize usage of measurement uncertainty within models
Design experiments, datasets, and hypothesis tests
Implement models in Python and C++ with numerical care
Fuse model outputs with signal processing and computer vision pipelines
Add automated tests and reproducible experiments
Job requirements
What are we looking for?
MSc or PhD in applied mathematics, physics, engineering, computer science, or similar
Strong foundation in mathematics and physics
Experience with numerical optimization (linear, nonlinear, constrained/unconstrained)
Familiarity with optimization libraries
Knowledge of parameter estimation and curve fitting
Statistical inference, regression, and hypothesis testing
Understanding of measurement uncertainty and noise modelling
Proficient Python and C++
Experience with data analysis libraries (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas)
Solid software practices with Git and reviews
What could also be relevant?
Knowledge of sports dynamics (golf, baseball, etc.)
Familiarity with motion tracking systems
Performance profiling and optimization of numerical code
Familiarity with optimization libraries and scientific toolchains
Exposure to real-time or embedded constraints
Software testing frameworks
What do we offer?
Highly skilled colleagues and a collaborative culture
Real product impact across elite and developmental baseball and softball
Career growth inside Trackman and opportunities to broaden your scope
International environment with 35+ nationalities at HQ
Social activities and a vibrant engineering community
The Office
We have just moved to our state-of-art HQ in Hørsholm, located at DTU Science Park. We take great pride in the building we designed! The office features bright meeting rooms, coffee areas to catch up with colleagues, a large testing arena with simulators available for employees and a fitness centre, everything surrounded by a beautiful forest and respecting the environment. We made sure to utilize the newest technologies to be energy efficient and be mindful of ventilation and sound propagation.
The cherry on top is our canteen: with an indoor and outdoor area to enjoy the fresh food prepared by our own kitchen staff.
Join the home of a powerful sports brand and a one-of-a-kind technology
