The Research Assistant will support additive-manufacturing research through literature reviews, experimental planning, 3D-printing processes, materials preparation, equipment operation, data collection, and analysis. Candidates are generally expected to hold a bachelor's or master's degree in mechanical engineering, materials science, manufacturing engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related discipline. Experience with additive-manufacturing technologies, CAD, materials characterization, laboratory instruments, programming, or data analysis is advantageous. The role requires careful laboratory practice, accurate documentation, troubleshooting ability, teamwork, and the capacity to work independently. Strong communication skills and a willingness to contribute to research reports, presentations, publications, and project milestones will also be expected.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major research-intensive university located in Singapore.

NTU’s campus includes laboratories, innovation centres, teaching facilities, and research institutes working with government agencies and industry partners. The university supports research in areas such as advanced manufacturing, robotics, sustainability, artificial intelligence, materials, and biotechnology. Research assistants typically work within a school, laboratory, or externally funded project, contributing to experiments, technical development, analysis, and academic publications. NTU offers a multicultural working environment and attracts students, researchers, and faculty from around the world. Its close links with industry and Singapore’s technology ecosystem can provide valuable exposure to applied research, professional networks, and future opportunities in academia, engineering, manufacturing, and research and development.
Singapore is a compact, highly connected island city with strong opportunities in engineering, advanced manufacturing, electronics, biotechnology, research, finance, technology, education, and logistics. English is widely used at work, while Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil are also official languages. The culture is multicultural, orderly, and generally safe, with excellent public transport, diverse food, modern healthcare, and extensive shopping and entertainment. Housing can be expensive, especially near central areas, so many newcomers rent rooms or share apartments in suburban neighbourhoods. Singapore has a hot, humid climate throughout the year. Foreign professionals usually need an appropriate work pass, such as an Employment Pass, S Pass, or a university-sponsored research or training pass; the employer normally manages the application. Bring verified qualifications, allow time for housing arrangements, and budget for deposits, transport, insurance, and daily living costs before relocating.
