THE ROLE

You will be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where junior and senior scientists collaborate, each with their expertise, to carry out a scientific activity with a shared research goal.

The Artificial Mechanical and Intelligence Research unit is coordinated by Dr. Daniele Pucci. You will contribute to the joint laboratory between IIT and Camozzi. Camozzi Automation is a global leader in designing and producing motion and fluid control components, systems, and technologies for Industrial automation, transportation, and life science industries. The IIT-Camozzi joint laboratory conducts research and development in robotics and control applied to smart grippers and actuators. This joint initiative aims to co-design innovative mechatronic devices in collaboration with the Camozzi Mechatronic Application Research Center (MARC) team.

Within the team, your main responsibilities will be:

• To design control algorithms for enabling autonomous grasping with the grippers by resorting to cutting-edge AI tools for the embedded domain.
• To address grasping scenarios of increasing complexity (e.g., with and without clutter, bin picking vs. affordance-based grasping).
• To deploy production code on the embedded control boards with model-based techniques.
• To design and execute experiments for the validation of algorithms and models.

ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS

• Bachelor’s and/or Master’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, control engineering or related fields
• Basic knowledge of machine-learning and control methodologies
• Strong focus on stakeholder needs and expectations
• Good command of spoken and written English

ADDITIONAL SKILLS

• Experience with robot middleware systems such as ROS, ROS2, OPC UA, or YARP
• Basic knowledge of electronics, mechanical engineering, and control
• Basic knowledge of mathematics, physics, and robotics foundations
• Experience with programming languages such as C/C++, Python
• Experience with embedded software development
• Experience with simulation tools
• Ability to work in a challenging and international environment
• Capacity to work autonomously and collaboratively in a highly interdisciplinary environment
• Analytical Reasoning skills and a growth mindset

COMPENSATION PACKAGE

• Competitive salary package for international standards (Salary can include bonus option depending on your role and contract).
• Private health care coverage depending on your role and contract
• Two days of teleworking per week and flexible working hours are available for certain roles
• Meal vouchers depending on your work contract
• Candidates from abroad or Italian citizens who have carried scientific research activity permanently abroad and meet specific requirements, may be entitled to a deduction from taxable income of up to 90% from 6 to 13 years.
