DOCTORAL RESEARCH PROJECT
Join Innovation in the Machine Tools Sector
The machine design and manufacturing sector is undergoing a period of radical transformation. The digital shift is revolutionizing industrial processes, enabling our equipment to integrate into smart, connected, and modern factories, allowing our clients to optimize their performance. To meet this challenge, we need scientific talents like you to help shape the industrial solutions of tomorrow.
At Fives, innovation is at the heart of our values. We are committed to promoting a more sustainable, more efficient, and future-focused industry.
Two Doctoral Research Opportunities with École Polytechnique de Montréal
As part of our partnership with École Polytechnique de Montréal and under the direction of Professor René Mayer, ing., PhD, we are offering two exciting doctoral research opportunities.
René Mayer, engineer, PhD
René Mayer holds a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from École Polytechnique de Montréal (1983) and a PhD from the University of Surrey, England (1989), focused on laser-based measurement of industrial robots. After obtaining academic tenure at the University of Surrey in 1992, he was recruited by École Polytechnique de Montréal, where he became a full professor in 2002.
His teaching and research activities focus on the metrology of parts and machine tools.
His research in manufacturing metrology aims to improve and maintain the precision of machine tools through fast and automatic processes, ensuring the production of high-quality, complex parts.
EURING (Europe), CEng (Chartered Engineer, UK), ing. (OIQ), Fellow CIRP, Fellow IMechE.
The proposed research projects
1. Automatic Diagnosis of Volumetric Deviations on 5-Axis Gantry-Type Machine Tools:
Development of lightweight and integrated methods for accurate preliminary diagnostics.
2. Characterization of the Rigidity and Precision of a Machining Robot:
Studies on the in-situ performance of the robot over an extended period.
What we are looking for
We are seeking passionate and creative engineering graduates, ready to contribute to cutting-edge projects in the fields of mechanical engineering and robotics.
