Department Summary
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.

Position Summary
We are seeking a qualified candidate for a tenure-track position on our main campus located in Klamath Falls, OR. Qualified applicants should have a strong background in computer engineering and embedded systems. Knowledge and skills in RISC-V, ARM, and digital logic design using FPGAs with Verilog HDL are required; additionally, graduate-level knowledge and some professional background in C/C++ development are expected of the successful incumbent.
As a small department, all faculty are expected to teach a variety of courses from freshman through senior level. Specifically, for example, freshman-sophomore areas of expertise include Digital Logic Design, C/C++, and FPGA-based logic design. For higher-level classes (junior-senior), skills in Embedded Testing and Verification using System Verilog HDL, Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), System on a Chip (SoC) Design, Embedded Networking, or Embedded Security are preferred. The successful incumbent is not expected to be able to cover all the noted courses, although broad backgrounds are preferrable.
The primary job duties for this position are teaching, advising, scholarship, and service. Scholarship may include, but is not limited to, the publication of scholarly works, collaboration with industrial partners, student-oriented applied research, and grant writing for internal and external funding. Institutional service may include advising, serving on campus committees, and participating in departmental initiatives.
Oregon Tech’s Computer Systems Engineering Technology 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.
