MECHATRONICS ENGINEER
At BASILE, we believe that interactive architecture is the future and seek innovative ways to apply this concept into our work. We strategically integrate technology into our design when it engages users or enhances their overall sensory experience. Features such as light walls, flip dots, rotating carousels, and 3-D digital sundials lend an interactive element to a space and showcase both the playfulness and mind-bending possibilities of how technology can influence and elevate design. From developing our own software to working with robotics engineers, we are at the forefront of this new world of creative ingenuity and committed to its application.
As a Mechatronics Engineer at Basile Studio, you will play a pivotal role in designing and developing interactive architectural solutions that captivate, inform, and entertain. You will collaborate with teams of designers, fabricators and engineers to bring our vision to life, creating immersive experiences that push the boundaries of interactive architecture.
