The Research Engineer II will support research and development involving coordination systems and application programming interfaces (APIs), likely within a university research or technology programme. Requirements typically include a bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, information systems, or a related discipline; experience with software development, API integration, distributed systems, databases, and programming languages such as Python, Java, or C++; and strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Candidates are expected to work independently and collaboratively, translate research concepts into reliable technical solutions, document their work clearly, coordinate with project stakeholders, and contribute to publications, prototypes, demonstrations, or funded research deliverables.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major research-intensive university located in Singapore. It is recognised internationally for engineering, computing, science, business, education, sustainability, and interdisciplinary research. NTU operates a large campus with modern laboratories, research centres, innovation facilities, and partnerships involving government agencies, industry, and universities worldwide. The university employs academic, research, technical, and professional staff who contribute to teaching, scientific discovery, technology development, and the wider community. Research engineers at NTU commonly work on externally funded projects, prototypes, digital platforms, and applied research programmes, often collaborating across departments and with industry partners. The university offers a multicultural working environment and access to Singapore’s strong technology and research ecosystem.
Singapore is a compact, highly connected island city with opportunities in research, engineering, information technology, finance, healthcare, education, logistics, and advanced manufacturing. English is widely used at work, while the culture blends Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international influences. Public transport is efficient, healthcare is strong, and neighbourhoods offer excellent food, shopping, parks, and coastal recreation. Housing can be expensive, especially near central areas, so newcomers often compare university housing, shared apartments, and suburban rentals. Foreign professionals generally need an employer-sponsored Employment Pass or another appropriate work pass; the employer normally submits the application. Dependants may qualify for related passes subject to eligibility. Before relocating, candidates should check pass requirements, healthcare coverage, taxation, rental costs, and employment benefits. Singapore’s warm, humid climate and occasional heavy rain are important lifestyle considerations.
