Job description:

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher specialized in electronics and embedded systems, capable of designing and deploying innovative IoT solutions for research projects such as air quality monitoring, water leak detection and energy monitoring of electric vehicle batteries. The candidate will need to master sensor technologies, embedded systems, and communication protocols, while integrating real-time data into cloud platforms to develop reliable, secure, and scalable solutions.

Main tasks and responsibilities

• Design, develop, and test IoT solutions for air quality monitoring and electric vehicle battery tracking.
• Integrate environmental and energy sensors with real-time data collection and analysis systems.
• Deploy prototypes in the field and optimize their performance based on feedback.
• Guarantee the reliability, security and scalability of the IoT solutions developed.
• Work closely with research teams to produce usable data and contribute to scientific publications.
• Contribute to scientific publications and disseminate results to decision-makers and communities.

Qualifications required

• PhD in one of the following fields: electronics and embedded systems, telecommunications, industrial computing, electrical engineering or equivalent.
• Expertise in the design, prototyping and deployment of IoT solutions for environmental and energy applications.
• Solid knowledge of embedded electronics and microcontrollers (Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, etc.).
• Expertise in developing sensors for air quality (PM2.5, CO2, Nox, etc.) and energy monitoring (voltages, currents, battery charge/discharge cycles);
• Proficiency in languages commonly used in IoT, such as C/C++, Python, and JavaScript.
• Expertise in firmware development and optimization for microcontrollers and embedded systems.
• Knowledge of IoT communication protocols (MQTT, CoAP, LoRaWAN, Zigbee, BLE, Wi-Fi, LTE, etc.).
• Experience in integrating IoT systems with cloud platforms such as AWS IoT, Azure IoT, Google Cloud IoT, ThingsBoard, etc.
• Familiarity with Edge Computing architecture to process data locally before transferring it to the cloud.
• Implementation of pipelines to collect real-time data from IoT sensors.
• Expertise in IoT-oriented databases (e.g., InfluxDB, PostgreSQL, Firebase, etc.).
• Knowledge of data visualization tools (e.g., Grafana, Tableau, etc.).

Personal and organizational skills

• Ability to solve complex problems related to the design and optimization of IoT systems.
• Ability to lead a project from start to finish, from design to implementation.
• Ability to produce high-level publications and present research results at international conferences.
• Collaboration with researchers, engineers and technicians on multidisciplinary projects.
• Ability to present technical results and solutions to non-technical stakeholders.
• Entrepreneurial skills, dynamism, organizational skills.
• Perfect oral and written command of French and English.

We offer:

• Excellent working conditions and competitive salary on an international scale.
• An opportunity to contribute to the development of research excellence in Africa.
• A highly stimulating multicultural working environment and an excellent teamwork atmosphere.
