Lecturer / Senior Lecturer - Intelligent Robotics (School of Engineering)

About the role

This role strengthens the School of Engineering's capability in embodied AI, where intelligent behaviour emerges from the tight coupling of AI, hardware and physical interaction. It covers hands-on development of embodied intelligent systems, applying AI to real-world robotics and mechatronics problems, and designing and integrating intelligent robotic and mechatronic systems.

Key responsibilities

• Deliver PET and CET curricula and develop course content in Embodied AI, Mechatronics, Electronics, Mechanical Design and Advanced Simulation & Modelling, including project supervision
• Design, review and maintain learning units on embodied AI, covering perception, learning, decision-making and control in robotic and mechatronic systems
• Supervise and mentor learners on applied embodied AI projects that integrate AI models with sensing, actuation and real-world robotic platforms
• Identify, initiate and lead industry collaborations, applied research and innovation initiatives, and plan and manage industry and applied projects
• Lead or represent the department in committees and carry out administrative or management duties such as outreach, industry engagement and overseas educational trips

Required profile

• A relevant qualification in Engineering or a related discipline
• At least 3 years of industry or applied experience in fields such as Embodied AI, Robotics, Mechatronics, Electronics, Mechanical Systems or Simulation
• Demonstrated experience in embodied AI, building and deploying intelligent robotic or mechatronic systems, applying AI or machine learning to robotics, and/or mechanical and mechatronic design and simulation
• Ability to turn hands-on system development experience into effective teaching and learning
