This role supports research into advanced micro- and nano-device technologies, likely involving semiconductor fabrication, cleanroom processes, device design, materials analysis, electrical testing, data interpretation and technical reporting. Candidates would typically need a bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, materials science, physics, microelectronics or a related discipline. Experience with microfabrication, nanofabrication, semiconductor devices, laboratory equipment, measurement systems or computer-aided design is advantageous. The successful candidate is expected to work carefully and independently, follow laboratory and safety procedures, maintain accurate records, analyse results, contribute to publications or project reports, and collaborate effectively with researchers and supervisors. Programming or simulation skills may also be useful.

Singapore is a compact, safe and highly connected island city with opportunities in semiconductors, electronics, research, biotechnology, finance, logistics, education, software and advanced manufacturing. English is widely used at work, while Malay, Mandarin and Tamil are also official languages. Life is convenient, with excellent public transport, reliable healthcare, modern shopping areas and abundant international food. The climate is hot, humid and tropical throughout the year, with frequent rain. Housing can be expensive, especially near central districts, so newcomers often compare university accommodation, shared apartments and room rentals. Foreign professionals generally need an employer-sponsored work pass; research assistants may use an Employment Pass or S Pass depending on salary, qualifications and prevailing rules. Bring certified academic documents, plan for a deposit and initial living costs, and check current Ministry of Manpower requirements before travelling. NTU’s campus is well served by buses and nearby MRT connections.
