Engineering - Professor; Robotics

The École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS) is a rapidly growing engineering and technology university located in downtown Montréal. ÉTS offers bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs focused on applied engineering, as well as a state‑of‑the‑art research infrastructure, and a dynamic and supportive organization. ÉTS is also home to Centech, a business incubator that provides support services to researchers who wish to commercialize their research.

When you join ÉTS, you will connect with highly active research professors in the school's various laboratories, chairs, and research groups. Your work will contribute significantly to scientific progress and the development of Quebec's productivity and competitiveness, as well as to the training of a highly skilled workforce.

• Start‑up funds to support your scientific endeavours;
• Financial support arrangements for research and teaching (recognition of academic supervision of students, time off for research, assistance with grading, etc.);
• A customized onboarding and integration process;
• A platform for disseminating your research work, as well as networking activities to raise your profile and help you recruit students;
• A work environment conducive to the development of your career in research and teaching;
• A mentoring program for faculty members during onboarding and throughout their careers;
• Support for immigration and relocation processes for you and your family;

The Department of Electrical Engineering offers undergraduate and graduate programs that meet the needs of industry in the design of electrical, electronic, photonic and computer systems as well as their components. These programs are oriented towards computer systems, telecommunications, digital processing, industrial control, energy transport, vision and microelectronics. Faculty members lead numerous research projects, several of which are in close collaboration with industry, essentially around three major areas: power electronics and industrial control, telecommunications and microelectronics, and the field of imaging, vision and artificial intelligence.

In addition to numerous research chairs, the Electrical Engineering Department has four research groups officially recognized by ÉTS that offer multiple opportunities for collaboration: the Power Electronics and Industrial Control Research Group (GREPCI), the Microelectronics Communications and Integration Laboratory (LACIME), the Space Technologies, Embedded Systems, Navigation and Avionics Laboratory (LASSENA), and the Health Information Processing Laboratory (LATIS).

The ÉTS Department of Electrical Engineering is looking for professors with an engineering background and expertise in the field of embedded systems. The research and teaching activities of selected candidates will join those already in place in the Department of Electrical Engineering.

• Design and implementation of advanced control algorithms (nonlinear, optimal, predictive, etc.)
• Robotic perception, including sensors, vision systems, and data fusion
• Motion planning and autonomous navigation
• Artificial intelligence and machine learning applied to robotics
• Collaborative robotics, multi‑agent systems, and autonomous systems

Candidates with expertise in other areas related to robotics may also be considered.

• Teach at the bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral levels in fields related to electrical engineering;
• Provide academic supervision to graduate students;
• Develop research programs;
• Apply for funding and grants, particularly from Quebec, Canadian, or international government agencies, industry, municipalities, and foundations;
• Carry out subsidized or contract research projects for industry and workplaces;
• Report the developments, results and impact of your scientific research.

• Have a doctorate (Ph.D.) in a field relevant to the position, or be close to obtaining it;
• Be a member of the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec (OIQ) or a Canadian professional order of engineering, or be eligible for membership and take the necessary steps to become a member before submitting…
