Postdoctoral Researcher in Advanced Flexure-Mechanism Design EPFL, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne in Switzerland

The Micromechanical and Horological Design Laboratory (INSTANT-LAB) at EPFL is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to advance the design of flexure-based mechanisms. These compliant mechanisms rely on elastic deformation rather than conventional joints, enabling precise motion in demanding environments where frictionless operation, repeatability, reduced maintenance, and monolithic construction are especially valuable. The project focuses on developing a new design and modelling framework for f...
