The role supports research and development for maritime drone operations, focusing on structural design and finite element analysis. Candidates should hold a degree in mechanical, aerospace, civil, marine or a related engineering discipline, with practical experience in structural mechanics, FEA software and engineering analysis. Knowledge of CAD, simulation validation, materials, testing and technical reporting is advantageous. The successful candidate is expected to work independently and collaboratively, interpret research requirements, develop reliable engineering models, document findings clearly and contribute to prototypes, experiments and technical publications. Experience with programming, hydrodynamics or unmanned systems would be useful, along with strong communication, problem-solving and project-management skills.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major research-intensive university located in Singapore. It is internationally recognised for strengths in engineering, technology, science, sustainability, business and interdisciplinary research. NTU works closely with government agencies, industry partners and global institutions on projects ranging from artificial intelligence and robotics to maritime technology, advanced materials and environmental solutions. The university operates a large research ecosystem comprising academic schools, specialised institutes, laboratories and innovation centres. Research staff typically work in multidisciplinary teams and may contribute to applied research, experimental development, publications, prototypes and industry collaboration. NTU offers an international working environment, modern campus facilities and access to Singapore’s broader technology and research community. Employment terms, benefits and progression can vary according to the project, funding source and appointment grade.
Singapore offers strong opportunities in engineering research, aerospace, maritime technology, robotics, manufacturing, electronics, finance, healthcare and digital services. Its multicultural society blends Chinese, Malay, Indian and international influences, with English widely used at work. Life is safe, efficient and convenient, supported by excellent public transport, reliable healthcare and extensive shopping and dining options. Housing is costly, particularly near central districts, though public housing, shared apartments and areas outside the core can be more affordable. International hires generally need an employer-sponsored Employment Pass or S Pass, subject to salary, qualifications and government approval; the employer normally handles the application. New arrivals should arrange accommodation, a local bank account, insurance and tax registration. Singapore is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain. The city-state is also a useful base for travel around Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.
