Mechatronics Engineer (Kinetic Installations/Art)

Be at the forefront of designing and developing the intelligent systems and electromechanical structures that power our kinetic installations.

In this role, you will:

• Design and develop complex mechatronic systems, integrating mechanical components with electronics, sensors, actuators, and control logic from concept to robust, tested prototypes.
• Develop and implement automation strategies using microcontrollers and drivers to enable precise control of kinetic elements.
• Design, test, and debug custom PCBs or integrate off-the-shelf boards for motion control, signal processing, and communication between components.
• Run simulations and stress tests to validate both mechanical integrity and electronic system stability under real-world conditions.
• Collaborate with suppliers and fabricators during both mechanical and electronic design phases to ensure feasibility, performance, and integration of chosen components and materials.
• Oversee system integration and on-site commissioning, ensuring seamless interaction between mechanical structures, electronics, and software for safe and efficient operations.

Must-have:

• Fluency in Italian and English

Key-skills:

• Strong understanding of control systems, feedback loops, and automation workflows
• Experience with microcontrollers (e.g., Arduino, ESP32), drivers, and motor controllers
• PCB design and prototyping (Altium, KiCad, or similar)
• Proficiency in 3D CAD modeling (Fusion360, Inventor, Rhino)
• Knowledge of rapid prototyping techniques (3D printing, CNC, laser cutting)
• Goal-driven attitude and problem-solving mindset
• Flexibility and openness to change requests and iterations
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills
