Research & development
- Leuven | Just now
- to unlock breakthrough robotic solutions for industry, health, and society. To accelerate our ambitions in this space, we are looking for a Senior Researcher in mechanical actuation to strengthen our mechanics expertise domain. What you will do You will be the scientific engine behind the team working on artificial muscles for robotics with an emphasis on (micro)actuation, mechanical simulations leveraging concepts and materials from nanotechnology and microfabrication. Your responsibilities
- Perform handson scientific work in the early phase: designing experiments, evaluating technologies, building proofofconcepts, and validating key hypotheses.
- Collaborate closely with the MEMS, ionics, microsystems, microfluidics, and materials to merge emerging technologies into early proof-of-concepts.
- Build imec’s robotics presence through PhD supervision, project acquisition, and public funding proposals. What we do for you
We offer
you the opportunity to join one of the world’s premier research centers in nanotechnology at its headquarters in Leuven, Belgium. With your talent, passion and expertise, you’ll become part of a team that makes the impossible possible. Together, we shape the technology that will determine the society of tomorrow. We are committed to being an inclusive employer and proud of our open, multicultural, and informal working environment with ample possibilities to take initiative and show responsibility. We commit to supporting and guiding you in this process; not only with words but also with tangible actions. Through imec.academy, 'our corporate university', we actively invest in your development to further your technical and personal growth. We are aware that your valuable contribution makes imec a top player in its field. Your energy and commitment are therefore appreciated by means of a market appropriate salary with many fringe benefits. Who you are
- You hold a PhD in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or related and at least 3 years of post‑PhD experience in mechanical system design, MEMS, micro‑actuation linked to artificial muscles or robotic mechanisms.
- Experience with MEMS multiphysics simulation tools (COMSOL, Coventor, Ansys, etc.) and/or microfabrication is a strong asset.
- You work well in multidisciplinary environments and can leverage expertise across sensors, mechanical systems, and semiconductor technologies.
- A track record in initiating new ideas and acquiring funding that lead to collaborative projects is considered a strong plus.
