Instructor

Oregon Institute of Technology, an Oregon public university, is seeking candidates for an academic full-time, Instructor position for The College of Engineering, Management, and Technology in the Department of Computer Systems Engineering Technology located on the Portland-Metro campus.

Oregon Tech’s CSET Department is committed to inclusive thought and action in support of our diverse community. Individuals from historically underrepresented groups and all those who share our commitment to inclusivity and passion for the strength of our diversity are strongly encouraged to apply.

Annual appointment renewal of up to three years will be based upon satisfactory performance review, outstanding performance, staffing needs, and funding.

A qualified applicant should have a strong background in C with additional experience in project management and Agile Development. This individual would also be expected to cover classes from some of the following areas: operating system internals, network programming, graphical user interfaces/user experience, design patterns, programming languages, cloud computing or database design and development. To be clear, we are not expecting one individual with all of these skillsets but these are the areas where we could use some additional help.

The primary job duties are teaching, however the candidate will also be expected to advise students as well as some other departmental activities. Although this is not a tenure track position, it is a full-time permanent position.

Departmental Information:
Computer Engineering Technology
Computer Engineering Technology graduates are involved in the development of hardware, software, and embedded applications that adapt digital logic and computer systems to solve problems in a wide range of industries, from industrial manufacturing to consumer electronics. In addition, they may be involved in product testing and qualification or in application engineering, customer support, sales, and public relations.

Embedded Systems Engineering Technology
Embedded systems are proliferating in our modern society. On a daily basis, the typical person in the United States will interact with dozens of embedded systems. The Embedded Systems Engineering Technology program targets development of software to run these critical “unseen” systems, quickly becoming interwoven into the fabric of our digital society. Engineers with this knowledge are in high demand, and the demand curve is growing exponentially. Students will gain critical knowledge in an area of software engineering which exists directly on the hardware, providing low level operation and hardware abstraction to higher level software constructs.

Software Engineering Technology
Oregon Tech’s Software Engineering Technology program’s emphasis is on a combination of theory and application, not just theory. The applied, hands-on curriculum prepares students for entry into the computer professions. Students will develop solid Software Engineering skills throughout all phases of the curriculum. From Software Testing and Design Patterns classes in the sophomore year to Project Management and Software Quality Assurance concepts in the junior and senior years, these concepts are a crucial part of a Software Engineer’s skillset.

Qualification Requirements:

• Master’s degree in a related field
• Desire to teach and interact with students

Preferred Qualifications:

• PhD in related field.
• Experience teaching in higher education.
• Significant industry experience
