NOTE: This is a temporary position ending on or before December 31, 2024.
Central to NAIT’s vision of being one of the world’s leading polytechnics is our relationship with business and industry, a partnership that is dedicated to helping organizations compete and succeed. NAIT Industry Solutions seeks to create various avenues that support industry collaboration to improve productivity and competitiveness of businesses and whole industries in Alberta and beyond. We do this by partnering with individual companies, industry associations and government. Our work is highlighted by NAIT’s new state-of-the-art Productivity and Innovation Centre (PIC), a 190,000 square-foot facility that features applied research centres, advanced technology labs, manufacturing services, training and certification programs, and unique conference and events venues.
NAIT’s Centre for Sensors and System Integration (CSSI) is a Technology Access Centre (TAC) staffed with professional researchers to support Alberta businesses on Applied Research & Development projects that deliver a new product, an improved service, or a more efficient process. Businesses across all major Alberta industry sectors have identified digital transformation as being the critical next step in their operational evolution. CSSI helps address their challenges through prototyping activities in preparation for later commercialization, which in turn enhance their productivity, competitiveness, and innovation. We may be automating a manual process, trialing the use of existing technology in an innovative way, sourcing an idea from another industry and developing a tool to meet the application, or designing and building something novel.
CSSI is looking to expand the team’s technical expertise to meet growing industry needs in the areas of software-hardware interfacing, automated control systems, data management, and customized graphical user interfacing for complex backend operations. The ideal candidate has strong knowledge on full stack development and have practical experiences in software applications development and systems integration. This position requires expertise and skills of managing databases from real-time data and query-based reporting. Solid knowledge on integrating multiple databases into a common platform and interfacing with hardware systems across windows and Linux based subsystems will be required.
