This role typically requires a relevant degree in aerospace engineering, transport, computer science, mechanical engineering, or a closely related discipline. Candidates should have practical research or engineering experience, strong programming and data-analysis skills, and familiarity with modelling, simulation, autonomous systems, transport technology, or experimental work. Responsibilities may include developing research solutions, conducting experiments, analysing results, preparing technical reports, supporting publications, and collaborating with academic and industry partners. The successful candidate is expected to work independently, communicate clearly, manage project deadlines, and contribute effectively within a multidisciplinary team. Experience with tools such as Python, MATLAB, C++, machine learning, robotics, or engineering simulation software would be advantageous.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major research-intensive university located in Singapore. It is recognised internationally for engineering, computer science, materials science, sustainability, business, and interdisciplinary research. NTU works closely with government agencies, technology companies, and global academic partners, giving research staff opportunities to contribute to practical projects with regional and international impact. The university operates a large, modern campus with advanced laboratories, research centres, teaching facilities, housing, and extensive student services. Its research environment includes projects in aerospace, transport, artificial intelligence, robotics, urban systems, and other emerging technologies. Research engineers commonly support funded projects, develop prototypes or analytical methods, collaborate with professors and industry partners, and help translate research findings into useful applications.
Singapore is a compact, well-connected island with strong opportunities in engineering, technology, research, finance, healthcare, logistics, and education. English is widely used at work, and the culture combines Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international influences, with diverse food, festivals, and neighbourhoods. The lifestyle is safe and convenient, supported by excellent public transport, reliable healthcare, shopping, parks, and coastal attractions. Housing is available in university residences, shared apartments, condominiums, and public HDB flats, although rent can be high. International professionals usually need an appropriate work pass, such as an Employment Pass or S Pass; the employer generally submits the application. Researchers may also use passes linked to university appointments or research institutions. Before relocating, budget carefully for rent, deposits, insurance, transport, and daily expenses, and confirm the university’s support for visa processing and accommodation.
