Are you a robotics engineer who enjoys explaining technology, engaging with industry and helping researchers develop meaningful collaborations? The EPFL Robotics Center seeks a professional with a solid robotics background, hands-on engineering experience and strong presentation skills to act as the technical bridge between its laboratories and industrial partners.
Your technical expertise will underpin the role: understanding laboratory capabilities, assessing industrial challenges, preparing and presenting robotics demonstrations, and supporting the development of relevant research opportunities. You will combine practical engineering with the ability to communicate clearly and confidently with researchers, industrial partners and visitors.
Your mission is to apply your robotics expertise to make the Center's laboratory capabilities visible, accessible and ready for collaboration — and to help translate industrial needs into relevant research opportunities. Working closely with laboratory teams, you will develop and maintain a thorough technical map of their expertise. You will prepare and run live demonstrations during visits, workshops and events, prepare audience-adapted technical materials with the lab teams, and help scope technical follow-up.
