Position Description:
We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position focused on wireless communications for sensor systems. The successful candidate will contribute to the design, development, and optimization of wireless communication modules for next-generation smart sensor platforms, targeting applications in harsh or remote environments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement low-power wireless communication modules (e.g., LoRa, BLE, ZigBee, Wi-Fi, or custom RF protocols) for embedded sensor platforms.

• Integrate and test wireless modules with sensor hardware for real-time data acquisition and transmission.

• Conduct experimental validation and performance evaluation in lab and field environments.

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including materials scientists, mechanical engineers, and computer scientists.

• Prepare technical reports, journal publications, and contribute to proposal writing.

Required Qualifications:

• Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering.

• Strong expertise in wireless communications, particularly in protocol design, RF circuit design, or embedded system implementation.

• Experience in developing wireless communication modules for sensors or IoT applications.

• Proficiency in embedded systems programming (e.g., C/C++, Python, RTOS) and familiarity with hardware platforms such as STM32, ESP32, or similar.

• Strong analytical skills and hands-on hardware debugging experience.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Familiarity with wireless standards and regulatory compliance (e.g., FCC, CE).

• Prior publications in IEEE journals or conferences related to wireless sensing or communications

• Interested applicants should contact Prof. Haifeng Zhang (haifeng.zhang@unt.edu)
