Working closely with the Project Coordinator and international partners, the candidate will:
• Support the planning and coordination of project activities, timelines, milestones, and deliverables.
• Facilitate communication and collaboration among international research and industrial partners.
• Organize project meetings, monitor progress, and follow up on agreed actions.
• Contribute to technical documentation, project deliverables, and reporting activities.
• Help identify potential issues and support the effective execution of project activities.
R&D; and AI Innovation The candidate will also contribute to Quipu's internal R&D; and innovation activities, with particular emphasis on the practical application of artificial intelligence. Key activities will include:
• Explore, evaluate, and prototype AI technologies for integration into Quipu's biomedical software products.
• Contribute to the design and development of AI-based functionalities, particularly in medical image and signal analysis.
• Investigate the use of machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI technologies for new product capabilities.
• Identify opportunities to automate and optimize internal business processes using AI-powered tools and workflows.
• Collaborate with the R&D; team to assess technical feasibility and translate innovative ideas into practical solutions. Work Location and Conditions The position is formally associated with Quipu's Bari office but is designed as a remote-first role, with day-to-day activities carried out almost entirely remotely. Regular interaction with Quipu's R&D; team at our Pisa headquarters is expected, including periodic on-site visits for technical collaboration and team meetings. Compensation and Employment Conditions
• Collective agreement: Italian Metalworking Industry Collective Agreement (CCNL Metalmeccanico).
• Job classification: C3 to B2, depending on qualifications and experience.
