  • Analytical reasoning;
  • Strong communication and English language skills (written and spoken);
  • Teamwork;
  • The ability to properly report, organize, and publish research data.

Additional skills:

  • Experience and knowledge of one or more of the following prototyping techniques and machining: versa laser, CNC machine, molding and casting, FDM or other 3D printing methods;
  • Experience and knowledge of fabrication of soft materials parts and components;
  • Previous experience in the design and realization of experimental robotic systems;
  • Experience in the field of soft robotics and/or bioinspired robotics;
  • Good communication skills;
  • Strong problem-solving attitude;
  • High motivation to learn;
  • Spirit of innovation and creativity;
  • Good at the time and priority management;
  • Ability to work in a challenging and international environment;
