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.

The ÉTS Department of Electrical Engineering is looking for professors with basic training in engineering and expertise related to artificial intelligence applied to the field of electrical engineering. The research and teaching activities of the people sought will join those already in place in the Department of Electrical Engineering.

The desired person will be invited to collaborate with the department's research laboratories to apply A.I. in areas such as power electronics, embedded systems, intelligent monitoring and control (GREPCI), health technologies (LATIS), telecommunications, photonics, nanomaterials, management and network technologies (THE TOP).

In terms of teaching, the person sought will be responsible for the development of new courses in the fields of machine learning and deep learning around the thematic axis on intelligent objects.

Areas of expertise sought:

The department of electrical engineering wishes to develop the research theme of artificial intelligence applied to the field of electrical engineering, including deep federated learning.

Here are some examples of applications:

• Smart electricity networks: optimization of distribution networks, predictive maintenance, breakdown prediction, sensor-data processing
• Design and verification of microsystems assisted by AI.
• Cybersecurity: anomaly and intrusion detection and fault identification
• Processing of medical images and signals and diagnostic assistance
• Transportation and aerospace
• Embedded systems (Edge AI)

• Teach courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels in fields related to electrical engineering;
  
• Mentor graduate students;
• Carry out funded, potentially interdisciplinary research projects with local, national and international partners;
• Develop a research program;
• Publish scientific articles;
• Complete grant applications, particularly those directed at NSERC and FQRNT.

• Hold or be about to obtain a Doctorate (PhD) in Electrical Engineering or in a relevant field for this position;
• Be a member of the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec (OIQ) or be eligible to join the OIQ and undertake the necessary steps to become a member before submitting an application for full professorship;
• Have experience in conducting research in collaboration with industry or solid experience in industrial R&D;
• Demonstrate excellent skills related to training highly-qualified personnel through research projects and teaching;
• Be proficient in French (oral and written), in compliance with the ÉTS Language Policy (in French), or demonstrate a willingness to learn French and register to a French program with the support of ÉTS.
