We’re looking for an engineer to join the team!

15/04/2019 by Carolyn

The School of Energy and Electronic Engineering at the University of Portsmouth is seeking to appoint an engineer to work with Peter Kyberd on the project. The role of the engineer in Portsmouth will be to look at exploring novel approaches to the technology, aiming to realise a step change in body powered prosthesis performance. We are therefore looking for an innovative mechanical engineer with substantial experience in design and construction of small mechanisms (e.g. prosthetic hands, robot manipulators), including 3D printing and hydraulics, who has worked creatively on their own design projects.

 

The post is based in the School of Energy and Electronic Engineering, University of Portsmouth, with the appointment effective from May 2019, or as soon as possible thereafter.
