Established in 2009 as Singapore’s fourth public university, in collaboration with MIT and Zhejiang University, SUTD is recognised for its innovative, active-based learning pedagogy and an interdisciplinary pillar organisation. With a stellar faculty, a small student-to-faculty ratio, and a beautiful campus, SUTD aims to nurture future technological leaders in engineering and architecture.

MIT News Article on SUTD’s Engineering Education

At SUTD, technology and design education are paramount. Our pedagogy integrates engineering principles and design thinking throughout the undergraduate curriculum. More than just interdisciplinary, our courses bridge multiple dimensions of learning (D) in a unique 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D project-based framework.

This position offers an exciting and unique opportunity to contribute to and shape the electrical and electronics design area within the **Engineering Product Development (EPD) Pillar** at SUTD. You will interact with leading stakeholders in Singapore’s engineering and innovation ecosystem, including governmental bodies, funding agencies, and industry partners who value design innovation and design thinking as key drivers of next-generation product development.

**Role and Responsibilities**
- **Teach electrical and electronic engineering design and product development** at undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels. This could include fundamental circuit design, analog/digital electronics, embedded systems, power systems, control systems, prototyping, and testing.
- **Develop and deliver high-quality, student-centered courses** using active
- and blended-learning pedagogies, with particular emphasis on electronic circuit design, product innovation, and systems-level electrical engineering.
- **Engage in curricular development and continuous education**to incorporate emerging trends in electrical engineering (e.g., renewable energy and power electronics, microcontrollers and IoT, signal processing, AI-driven circuit/system optimisation, sustainable energy systems).
- **Collaborate with colleagues in interdisciplinary** projects and research endeavours, contributing electrical engineering expertise to solve complex technological and societal challenges.
- **Mentor and supervise students** at all levels (Bachelor’s, Master’s, Doctoral) on design projects and research, fostering innovation, hands-on learning, and industry relevance.
- **Drive outreach and partnerships** with industry, funding agencies, and other academic institutions to expand SUTD’s electrical engineering initiatives, secure research funding, and develop continuous learning programmes.

**Becoming part of SUTD**

If you have a passion for teaching, a drive to advance electrical and electronic engineering research, and a desire to shape future leaders in technology and innovation, you will find a supportive environment at SUTD. You will work alongside faculty from diverse backgrounds to collaborate on curriculum and research in circuits, electronics, power systems, embedded systems, and allied areas. Whether you are just beginning your career or looking to further develop your academic profile, SUTD provides a vibrant platform to leave your mark on electrical and electronic engineering education and research - especially in areas aligned with SUTD’s strategic growth domains (Sustainability, Smart Cities, Aviation, Healthcare, and AI).

The mínimal qualifications for the faculty position include:

- PhD in Electrical or Electronic Engineering (or a closely related field), with a proven record of teaching and/or research in areas such as circuit design, electronics, embedded systems, power systems, signal processing, or related electrical topics. Relevant industry experience in these domains will also be considered.
- The ability to interact effectively both face-to-face and virtually with students, peers, and all relevant stakeholders.
- The drive to network and engage with funding agencies, industry partners, and professional bodies, and to create impactful collaborations and continuous learning programmes.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills.
- Experience in teaching in other educational environments, such as executive education and/or lifelong learning.
- Experience in designing and delivering short, medium and semester-long courses in various electrical and electronics topics.
- A track record of advising Doctoral, Master, and undergraduate students in electrical or electronics engineering.
- Publications in electrical and electronics engineering journals (e.g., IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems, IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, IEEE Transactio
