The role focuses on front-end digital design using RTL for heterogeneous computing systems. Candidates are generally expected to hold a PhD or equivalent research experience in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or a related field. Strong knowledge of digital circuit design, Verilog/SystemVerilog, FPGA or ASIC development, computer architecture, and hardware-software co-design is desirable. Experience with EDA tools, hardware acceleration, embedded systems, or research publications will be advantageous. The successful candidate should be able to conduct independent research, develop prototypes, publish results, contribute to grant or project work, and collaborate effectively with academic and industry partners.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major research-intensive university located in Singapore. It is internationally recognised for its strengths in engineering, technology, science, business, education, and interdisciplinary research. NTU operates a large suburban campus with laboratories, research centres, teaching facilities, student residences, and innovation spaces. The university works closely with government agencies, technology companies, and international academic partners on areas such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, sustainability, robotics, biomedical science, and advanced materials. Research Fellows and Senior Research Fellows typically join faculty-led or centre-based projects, contributing specialist expertise, publications, prototypes, and external collaborations. NTU offers a diverse academic community and access to Singapore’s strong technology and research ecosystem.
Singapore offers strong opportunities in semiconductors, electronics, software, research, engineering, finance, healthcare, education, and logistics. The culture is multicultural, efficient, and generally professional, with English widely used at work. Life on the island is convenient: public transport is excellent, healthcare is high quality, and food ranges from inexpensive hawker meals to international dining. Housing can be costly, especially near central areas, so many newcomers rent rooms or share apartments. Foreign professionals usually need an Employment Pass, while eligible researchers may use an appropriate research or work pass arranged with the employer. Relocation involves securing accommodation, arranging insurance and banking, and understanding local employment rules. Singapore is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain, but its safety, infrastructure, airport connections, and regional travel options make it attractive for international researchers and technology professionals.
