This role supports semiconductor fabrication and heterogeneous integrated photonics research at NTU. Requirements typically include a degree in electrical engineering, materials science, physics, photonics, semiconductor engineering, or a related discipline, together with practical experience in cleanroom processing, lithography, deposition, etching, wafer fabrication, or device characterization. Familiarity with photonic integrated circuits, process development, laboratory safety, and technical data analysis is highly desirable. The successful candidate is expected to operate and maintain fabrication equipment, develop and optimize processes, conduct experiments, analyze results, prepare technical reports, and work effectively with researchers and industry partners. Strong problem-solving, documentation, communication, and teamwork skills are important.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major public research university known for strength in engineering, science, technology, business, and interdisciplinary research. Located in the western part of Singapore, NTU operates a large residential campus with advanced laboratories, research institutes, and extensive links to industry and government agencies. The university is particularly recognized for work in areas such as semiconductors, photonics, artificial intelligence, sustainability, materials, and biomedical research. Its research engineers support faculty-led projects, laboratory operations, technology development, and collaborations with external partners. NTU employs an international workforce and offers an academically active environment, with opportunities to work on applied research that may lead to publications, patents, prototypes, or commercialization. Benefits and employment terms vary by appointment, qualifications, and funding source.
Singapore is a compact, highly connected island city with strong opportunities in semiconductors, engineering, research, electronics, finance, healthcare, education, and technology. The culture is multicultural and generally orderly, with English widely used at work alongside Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil. Public transport is reliable, housing ranges from public HDB flats to private apartments, and daily life is convenient but relatively expensive. The city offers excellent food, shopping, parks, beaches, and easy regional travel. Most foreign professionals need an employer-sponsored work pass; research engineers commonly use an Employment Pass or, depending on salary and qualifications, an S Pass. Employers usually guide applicants through the application process. New arrivals should budget for rent, deposits, insurance, transport, and relocation costs, and check current eligibility rules with Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower before accepting an offer.
