Conditions
Candidates are motivated and have a strong academic background in at least one of the following fields: mechanical engineering, physical engineering, electrical engineering, physics, aerospace engineering, applied mathematics, manufacturing engineering, automated production engineering. Communicates effectively orally in French and English and in writing in English.
The submitted file must include: CV, a maximum of transcripts, two (2) names of references.
The search for candidates will continue until the positions are filled.
Detailed description
The project is in collaboration with a designer/manufacturer of advanced manufacturing systems. The project is part of a pan-Canadian research network in advanced manufacturing, including a large number of students, professors, universities, and industrial partners, providing a rich environment for the development of candidates' skills. Periods at the partner's site are also planned for experiential enrichment of the candidate.
The project involves the development of digital twins and the compensation of errors in machining robots to ensure the quality of produced parts and detect signs of degradation. The partner has industrial-grade machines and instrumentation to support the project. Experienced technicians will assist with the experimental work.
Financing possibility
Full bursary at the recommended levels by the school is available for suitable candidates.
