Genoa, Liguria, Italia ISTITUTO ITALIANO DI TECNOLOGIA A tempo pieno

Italy

Commitment & contract: fixed term position.

Location: Genova

Step into a world of endless possibilities, together let's leave something for the future

At IIT, we are committed to advancing human-centered Science and Technology to address the most urgent societal challenges of our era. We foster excellence in both fundamental and applied research, spanning fields such as neuroscience and cognition, humanoid technologies and robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, and material sciences, offering a truly interdisciplinary scientific experience. Our approach integrates cutting-edge tools and technology, empowering researchers to push the limits of knowledge and innovation. With us, your curiosity will know no bounds.

We are dedicated to providing equal employment opportunities and fostering diversity in all its forms, creating an inclusive environment. We value the unique experiences, knowledge, backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives of our people. By embracing diversity, we believe science can achieve its fullest potential.

YOUR TEAM

You will join the multi-disciplinary team of developers and designers at the iCub-Tech facility, where electronic, mechanical, and software engineers collaborate altogether.

Specifically, you will contribute to the Joint Laboratory between IIT and Camozzi Automation, a global leader in motion and fluid control components for industrial automation. The lab is currently launching a new phase focused on developing a new generation of smart electric grippers for "Adaptive Grasping".

You will work in close coordination with the Camozzi Mechatronic Application Research Center (MARC) and alongside a dedicated IIT Control/Electronic Engineer focused on modeling and sensing. Your primary goal will be to translate market requirements into engineering solutions, culminating in the development of a functional prototype for adaptive grasping in industrial and/or food handling scenarios (e.g., handling fruit or delicate packaging).

Within the team, your main responsibilities will be:

  • Design and development of adaptive gripper fingers. Define kinematics and select appropriate materials to ensure adaptability to objects of varying shapes and fragility.
  • Mechanical integration of advanced sensors. Collaborate with the electronic/sensing engineer to integrate Time-of-Flight (TOF), pressure, and tactile sensors directly into the mechanical structure of the fingers.
  • Executive mechanical design. Create detailed 3D/2D models of the gripper body and assembly parts, ensuring readiness for manufacturing.
  • Prototyping and Validation. Manage the assembly of the integrated prototype and participate in experimental validation.
  • Collaboration with Industry. Interact with the Camozzi team to align the mechanical design with specific market specifications and industrial requirements.

ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS

  • Master's degree in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, or related fields.
  • Solid understanding of mechanics, kinematics, and mechanism design.
  • Proficiency in parametric mechanical design (preferably PTC Creo Parametric) and creation of technical documentation.
  • Knowledge of materials selection, particularly for applications requiring delicate or adaptive handling.
  • Ability to communicate technical knowledge clearly and cooperate in a mixed academic-industrial environment.
  • Proficient in English, written and oral.

ADDITIONAL SKILLS

  • Hands-on experience with the design and testing of robotic grippers or robotic hands.
  • Experience with rapid prototyping techniques for iterative design validation.
  • Understanding of sensor integration constraints (cabling, housing, miniaturization).
  • Familiarity with FEA analysis software.
  • Basic knowledge of robotics foundations and control to better collaborate with the modeling team.

COMPENSATION PACKAGE

  • Competitive salary package for international standards (Salary can include bonus option depending on your role and contract).
  • Private health care coverage.
  • Wide range of staff discounts.
  • Up to 10 days of remote working per month.
  • Flexible working hours.

Please submit your application using the online form and including a detailed CV.

The call will remain open until the position is filled
