Are you seeking for 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
Your responsibilities
In some projects you will work independently, while in others you will collaborate with researchers as well as mechanical, electrical and control technicians. Due to the high integration with different fields (biomedical, mechanical, electronics), there is always an exchange of knowledge with your colleagues and growth opportunities.
