IIT has recently launched a flagship initiative in Technologies for Healthy Living (THL), aiming to generate groundbreaking interdisciplinary research in health technology, spanning from AI and robotics to biotechnology. This program involves approximately 30 research lines and a diverse group of multidisciplinary researchers.
Within the Technologies for Healthy Living flagship, the Rehab Technologies Unit seeks a Software Engineer in the medical robotic field, who will play a crucial role in designing, developing, and maintaining software for clinical monitoring and indirect control of health-related assistive devices. You will be involved in every aspect of software development, from high-level control to low-level device communication protocols, ensuring the continuous integration of software components across the entire system. You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team to ensure our devices meet the highest safety, efficiency, and effectiveness standards.
Primary research line: Human-Robot Interfaces and Interaction. Since this is a flagship project, collaboration with other research lines is planned and mandatory.
