Connectionists: [Job] Software developer for biomechanics and biorobotics

[Massimo Sartori]

Are you seeking challenging projects at the edge of what is technically
possible? Are you interested in joining an open-source software initiative
aimed at improving human movement and health? Do you want to oversee the
software management and working process of an R&D Lab?

The Department of Biomechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering
Technology, at the University of Twente is seeking for a creative and
motivated software developer as part of the ERC Project INTERACT. Within
INTERACT we develop advanced physics-based modelling software to simulate
how humans move (e.g., how our brain controls our muscles to create
different movements) and to control wearable robots (e.g., bionic limbs and
exoskeletons). We use specialized and advanced measurement setups, some of
which we even develop and integrate ourselves. We are a rapidly growing
Department.

You will become one of the architects of a large-scale software framework
to model and simulate human movement (and injury) assisted by advanced
wearable robots, such as bionic prostheses and exoskeletons. You will also
manage the working process and organization of the Neuromechanics Lab. Our
department currently employs more than 70 people, including scientists,
teachers and technicians, of different nationalities. You will be part of a
team of R&D Engineering Technicians who complement each other. Many of our
R&D projects are in collaboration with other research institutions and
companies from the Netherlands and abroad.
