PhD Position: IIoT-powered quality assessment and certification in the production of bone screws

Help shape the future of smart and traceable medical-device manufacturing! This PhD project will develop an IIoT-powered framework to monitor, predict, and certify the quality of titanium bone screws directly from machining data. Working at the intersection of advanced manufacturing, data analytics, and medical-device regulation, you will transform shop-floor signals into reliable quality intelligence. The project combines Politecnico di Milano’s research excellence with industrial validation at WatAJet and international secondments at UIUC (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) and Cochlear. Join us to create digital manufacturing solutions ready for industrial adoption and the EU Digital Product Passport.
