Sepenuh Masa Engineer - Lead Engineer, Systems Engineering, Aerial Systems, RAUS CoE Jobs, in HTX (Home Team Science & Technology Agency) - Maukerja

The Home Team Science and Technology Agency (HTX) is a statutory board under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), which aims to pioneer innovation solutions and develop world class science and technology capabilities to transform and empower the Home Team in delivering safety and security for Singapore.

The Aerial Systems (AS) domain of RAUS CoE seeks someone responsible for developing, deploying, and maintaining Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) capabilities for Home Team Departments (HTDs). This domain comprises two pillars: Research & Technology (R&T) and Systems Engineering (SE). The SE pillar focuses on working with and managing industrial partners through Continuous Integration – Continuous Development (CI/CD) to ensure HTDs' operational systems are continuously enhanced to address the evolving threat landscape, increasingly complex operational demands, and Singapore's decreasing workforce. The pillar consists of a team of engineers who champion the translation of proven technologies into viable operational capabilities, conduct Operational Trial & Evaluation (OT&E), insert new operational capabilities into existing operational systems, and maintain these systems.

The job holder will perform capability development work through either the Continuous Engineering Programme (CEP) or DevOps with key strategic partners. Additionally, they will perform technology insertion into operational systems through mid-life upgrades or integration into next-generation platforms and systems.

Furthermore, the job holder will execute the deployment and sustainment of UAS for HTDs, ensuring that delivered UAS capabilities achieve the desired outcomes of the Ops-Tech Masterplan. They are expected to deliver Day 1 programmes to ensure timely delivery of UAS capabilities supporting operational needs. The job holder will also execute Day 2 operations according to planned schedules and stipulated timelines, ensuring the Home Team UAS fleet maintains high availability and low downtime.

What you would be working on:

• Deliver, deploy and maintain UAS for HTDs.
• Perform the system integration of multi-variate components, e.g., platforms, sensors, mission payloads, autonomy and Command, Control & Communication (C3) systems etc.
• Liaise and work with multiple stakeholders (internal and external) to deliver projects, ensuring that the budget, requirements and schedules are being adhered to.
• Liaise and work with the contracted vendors (e.g., system integrator, suppliers and OEMs etc.) to ensure timely delivery and deployment of UAS for HTDs.
• Translate UAS technology from multi-year Continuous Engineering Programme (TRL 5 to 7) workstreams into viable operational capability.
• Conduct OT&E to validate the final articles before transiting into operational systems.
• Ensure proper integration and testing of all hardware and software components as part of OT&E.
• Translate UAS technology from multi-year Continuous Engineering Programme (TRL 5 to 7) workstreams into viable operational capability.
• Conduct OT&E to validate the final articles before transiting into operational systems.
• Ensure proper integration and testing of all hardware and software components as part of OT&E.
• Perform tech insertion into operational systems either via mid-life upgrade or into next generation platforms/systems.

What you should possess:

• Tertiary education in Engineering related disciplines; preferably Degree in Electrical / Electronics / Mechanical / Mechatronics / System Engineering / Computer Science
• 2 to 8 years’ experience in project and technology management, preferably with UAS experience.
• Aspired new graduates with good understanding and strong interest on UAS technologies.
• Preferably with basic knowledge of cybersecurity governance and best practices, communication/datalink and cybersecurity implementation.
• Preferably with practical experience in applying systems engineering methodology to develop large and complex systems.
• Good communication skill
• Strong analytical, planning and project management skills. PMP, system engineering or equivalent certification would be an advantage

*** All new hires are appointed on a two-year contract in the first instance and will be assessed and considered for permanent tenure over time, based on performance. As part of the shortlisting process for this role, you may be required to complete a medical declaration and/or undergo further assessment.
