JOB DESCRIPTION

DSO National Laboratories (DSO) is Singapore’s largest defence research and development (R&D) organisation, with the critical mission to develop technological solutions to sharpen the cutting edge of Singapore’s national security. At DSO, you will develop more than just a career. This is where you will make a real impact and shape the future of defence across the spectrum of air, land, sea, space and cyberspace.
The Emerging Systems Division focuses research and development on a broad spectrum of capabilities that are critical to the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) defence systems. These include antenna design and electromagnetics, as well as next-wave technologies in the areas of lasers and advanced materials.
The successful candidate will be part of a team of research scientists and engineers developing quantum capabilities in DSO. The goal is to translate cutting-edge, quantum sensing technologies into robust solutions for defence applications. At the Quantum Sensing Programme in DSO, the successful candidate will work alongside highly motivated colleagues, collaborate with both local and overseas quantum communities to unlock the power of quantum technologies.
People are DSO’s greatest asset. You will get to realise your career aspirations and develop your own niche either as a deep technical expert or a leader in the team. With frequent career dialogues and a robust training and development framework, we will provide you with the necessary development tools for you to reach your potential. You will also be recognised and rewarded through competitive remuneration packages and scholarship opportunities.
Quantum Sensing Engineer

In this role, you will:

• Develop and integrate robust quantum sensors for inertial or electromagnetic sensing
• Design and develop sensor subsystems such as optical traps, vacuum and cryogenic systems, magnetic field controllers, or electronics system for quantum sensor
• Undertake systems development with scientists, software engineers, and stakeholders to ensure successful transition of lab devices into sensor payloads

JOB REQUIREMENTS

• PhD / Masters / Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering Science, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering / Optics / Photonics
• Experience in any of the following: analog/digital electronics, RF electronics, power electronics, lasers, optics, high vacuum, or cryogenic experiments
• Knowledge or experience in quantum physics is preferable
• Working proficiency in a programming language (e.g. Python, MATLAB)
• Team player and self-driven learner
• Passion in translating lab technologies into real world applications
