International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM)

About the role

The Biomechatronics Research Laboratory at IIUM focuses on interdisciplinary research combining biomechanics, robotics, and mechatronics. This role supports ongoing projects in assistive technologies, rehabilitation devices, and human-machine interaction.

Responsibilities

• Conduct experimental research in biomechatronics, including data collection, analysis, and prototype development.
• Collaborate with faculty, students, and external partners on funded research projects.
• Assist in designing and testing biomechatronic systems (e.g., prosthetics, exoskeletons, or wearable sensors).
• Publish findings in peer-reviewed journals and present at conferences.
• Maintain laboratory equipment and ensure compliance with safety protocols.
• Contribute to grant writing and project reporting.

Requirements

• Master’s or PhD in Biomechatronics, Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
• Hands-on experience with hardware prototyping (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or embedded systems).
• Proficiency in programming (Python, MATLAB, C++/C#) and simulation tools (e.g., SolidWorks, ANSYS, or ROS).
• Strong background in signal processing, control systems, or human movement analysis.
• Prior experience with motion capture systems (e.g., Vicon, OptiTrack) or EMG sensors is advantageous.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.

Benefits

• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge research with real-world applications.
• Access to state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and equipment.
• Collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of engineers, clinicians, and researchers.
• Support for conference travel and professional development.
