The positions involve conducting cutting-edge research on innovative electromechanical robotic systems integrated with advanced sensing technologies for next-generation maintenance operations. Both roles place a strong emphasis on system design and development across a range of robotic applications, with particular focus on high-voltage line inspection and maintenance. The research will bridge established and emerging competencies within the section, including FPGA and neuromorphic computing, Edge AI, machine learning, power electronics, and self-recharging technologies. The primary responsibilities include conducting high-quality research in electromechanical systems, contributing to teaching activities, and collaborating with leading researchers.

Responsibilities

  • Your primary responsibilities as part of the section will include conducting high-quality research in electromechanical systems, including the development of robotic arms and aerial vehicles, as well as contributing to teaching activities through course development and supervision of BSc and MSc students in Electronics and Robotics. You will collaborate closely with leading researchers in robotics, digital systems, and high-frequency electronics, addressing critical societal challenges through your research. Furthermore, you will be expected to publish your work in high-impact journals and leading international conferences, and to actively contribute to securing external funding to support and expand the research area.

Requirements

  • The applicant must hold a doctoral degree (PhD) in electronics, robotics, mechatronics, electrical engineering, embedded electronics, or a related subject area.
  • The applicant is expected to have relevant research and teaching experiences that match the position's content and responsibilities.
  • The applicant is expected to have expertise in the design and optimization of electrical and mechanical components, system integration, experimental design, and both laboratory and real-world testing and validation.
  • For the Assistant Professor position, a minimum of two years of postdoctoral experience is required.
