The Research Assistant will support a robotics research project focused on condition monitoring, fault detection and predictive maintenance for robots. Typical requirements include a bachelor’s or master’s degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, robotics, computer engineering or a related discipline. Candidates are expected to have practical experience with sensors, data acquisition, signal processing, robotics or machine learning, together with programming skills in Python, MATLAB or similar tools. The role requires careful experimentation, data analysis, technical documentation and collaboration with academic researchers. Strong problem-solving ability, clear communication, independence and a willingness to learn are important. Experience with industrial robots, vibration analysis, digital twins or predictive maintenance would be advantageous.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major research-intensive university located in the western part of Singapore. It is internationally recognised for engineering, technology, science, business, education and interdisciplinary research. NTU works closely with government agencies, hospitals and industry partners on areas such as robotics, artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, sustainability and materials science. The university operates a large, modern campus with laboratories, research centres, teaching facilities and student accommodation. Research assistants contribute to funded projects under the guidance of faculty members and senior researchers, often gaining experience in experimentation, publications, software development and industry collaboration. NTU offers a multicultural working environment and attracts academics, researchers and students from around the world. Employment conditions and benefits vary according to the project, funding source, qualifications and contract duration.
Singapore offers strong opportunities in research, engineering, robotics, semiconductor manufacturing, finance, healthcare, education and technology. Its culture combines Chinese, Malay, Indian and international influences, with English widely used at work and in daily life. The island has an efficient public transport system, excellent healthcare, safe neighbourhoods and a diverse food scene, although housing and general expenses can be high. Most newcomers choose housing near MRT stations; university accommodation may be available but is not guaranteed. Foreign professionals usually need an employer-sponsored work pass, such as an Employment Pass or S Pass, while research staff may qualify under relevant institutional arrangements. Before relocating, confirm the contract, pass eligibility, insurance, housing and tax position. Singapore is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain, so lightweight clothing and practical commuting arrangements are useful.
