WHO WE ARE

At IIT we work enthusiastically to develop human-centered Science and Technology to tackle some of the most pressing societal challenges of our times and transfer these technologies to the production system and society. Our Genoa headquarter is strictly inter-connected with our 11 centers around Italy and two outer-stations based in the US for a truly interdisciplinary experience.

§ Design and develop software solutions for controlling and monitoring exoskeletons.
§ Act as a full-stack developer, working on everything from mobile applications for device control (Qt/C++) to low-level control systems (C) for motor operation and communication protocols (CAN, WiFi - UDP/TCP).
§ Implement and optimize high-level controllers including finite state machines (FSM), trajectory planning algorithms, and overall software architecture.
§ Design and implement low-level control functionalities, such as DC motor control, PID algorithms, and bare-metal programming in C language.
§ Ensure compliance with IEC 62304 standards throughout the software development process, including documentation and code writing.
§ Collaborate with hardware engineers, clinicians, and end-users to validate software functionality and usability in real-world patient scenarios.
§ Write high-quality code that prioritizes safety, clarity, and robustness, understanding the critical impact of software in medical settings.
