Main responsibilities
- and activities
- Carries out applied research and experimental development in the field of Advanced Analytics and Artificial Intelligence for the optimization of manufacturing systems oriented towards the circular economy, with particular reference to de-manufacturing and re-manufacturing processes.
- Design, develop and validate multi-modal data pipelines (sensors, time-series, process data, technical documentation, data from information systems) to support diagnostics, classification, traceability and operational optimization.
- Develops industrial information models (ontologies, knowledge graphs, knowledge bases) and hybrid Artificial Intelligence approaches to integrate domain knowledge with field data, to support transparent decisions (Explainable AI).
- Contributes to the definition and testing of human-in-the-loop solutions for the evaluation of the conditions of the incoming product, the choice of processing paths and the management of the uncertainty/variability typical of EoL (end-of-life) flows.
- Build proof-of-concepts and software prototypes (incl. services, APIs, microservices, dashboards and analysis tools) integrated with IIoT infrastructures and experimentation environments (Learning Factory / SPS Innovation Factory).
- Collaborates in the planning and technical-scientific management of research projects and mandates with industrial and academic partners (Innosuisse, Horizon Europe/Horizon 2020 or similar programs), including the preparation of deliverables and technical reporting.
- Contributes to the acquisition of new research projects (definition of concept, technical work plan, identification of partners, drafting of technical sections of the proposal).
- Supports the dissemination of results through the writing of scientific articles, presentations at conferences and technology transfer activities towards local companies.
- Promptly supports teaching and supervision activities of students (Bachelor/Master theses), in line with the needs of the laboratory Requirements

Questions about this listing
What salary does SUPSI / DTI offer for this role?
SUPSI / DTI lists CHF 51'500 - 88'000 gross per year for this position in Manno. This is the salary published in the original listing (or, when the employer omits a figure, a realistic estimate for the role and sector) — the calculator on this site converts it to your actual net take-home once cross-border tax and social contributions are applied.
Is this a full-time role, and what type of contract does SUPSI / DTI offer?
This listing is a full-time position. The contract type shown here comes directly from the employer's original posting; always confirm exact hours, notice period and probation length with SUPSI / DTI during the application process, since these details can vary by role even within the same contract category.
Do I need the G permit to apply for this role in Ticino as an Italian cross-border worker?
Yes, if you are resident in Italy within the 20 km border zone. The Swiss employer files the G-permit application at the Ticino cantonal migration office after the contract is signed — first issuance takes 2-6 weeks, then automatic yearly renewal for as long as the employment continues. Weekly return to your Italian home is required to keep the status. Note: this listing allows remote work — teleworking above 25 % of your time can shift your social-security base to Italy, so confirm the agreed remote share with HR before signing.
How do I apply for this position at SUPSI / DTI?
Use the "Apply now" button on this page — it links directly to SUPSI / DTI's original listing at supsi.ch, so your application goes straight to the employer's own applicant-tracking system. Frontaliere Ticino does not collect or forward applications itself.
