Faculty Member – Robotics & Mechatronics Engineering

About the role

Canadian University Dubai is seeking a dedicated faculty member to teach and develop its Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering curriculum within the Department of Electrical Engineering. The role combines high‑quality classroom instruction, hands‑on laboratory supervision, and applied research aligned with Industry 4.0 priorities.

Key responsibilities

• Deliver undergraduate lectures and labs covering robotics modelling, kinematics, sensing, control, and industrial applications.
• Design and maintain laboratory environments for mechatronic system integration, PLC programming, SCADA, and embedded sensing.
• Supervise capstone projects, graduation theses, and applied student research.
• Contribute to curriculum development, course coordination, and accreditation processes (e.g., ABET, CAA).
• Conduct applied research in robotics, industrial automation, and advanced manufacturing, publishing scholarly work and securing industry collaborations.

Required profile

• PhD in Mechatronics, Robotics, Electromechanical, Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field (Master’s required).
• Demonstrated expertise in robotics and mechatronic system design.
• Proven record of effective undergraduate teaching and laboratory delivery.
• Experience with curriculum development and student supervision.
• Familiarity with outcome‑based accreditation frameworks.

Required skills

• Robotics modelling, kinematics, perception, and control.
• Mechatronic system integration (mechanical, electrical, control subsystems).
• Industrial automation, PLC programming, SCADA concepts.
• Embedded sensing and actuation (sensors, actuators, drives, control interfaces).
• CNC machining, additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping.

What we offer

• Opportunity to shape a growing engineering program in a multicultural campus.
• Access to state‑of‑the‑art labs and industry partners.
• Support for research funding and scholarly activities.
