Job description

We are seeking an experience/senior engineer to drive the end to end development of innovative IoT and IIoT products. In the role, you will lead the design, build, and deployment of IoT-enabled electrical and embedded systems, taking ownership of complex assemblies from early concept through to mass production. You will work within a multi-disciplinary team to solve unfamiliar problems, ensuring our solutions meet rigorous standards for performance, reliability, security and user experience.

Key Responsibilities

End-to-End Product Development: Lead the full product lifecycle (NPI) for new product categories, translating technical challenges into clear design requirements, creating concepts, building prototypes, and validating designs for production.
Hardware & System Design: Define the overall system architecture and lead complex hardware development including firmware from concept to production, ensuring optimal PCB layout, sensor integration, power circuits, and communication interfaces.
Connectivity & Integration: Ensure reliable connectivity between industrial equipment, edge devices, and cloud platforms. Implement sensing strategies, edge compute solutions, and data ingestion/storage systems while maintaining high availability
Testing & Optimization: Conduct laboratory validation, troubleshooting, and optimization of circuits, communication protocols and system performance. Define metrics to measure success and support product decisions.
Collaboration & Leadership: Collaborate with internal teams (software, quality, operations) and external partners to integrate smart platforms and industrial networking solutions. Provide technical planning, effort estimates and risk management.
Compliance & Security: Apply principled engineering practices including cybersecurity considerations, change control and adherence to global IoT standards (e.g., ETSI, CISPR, Bluetooth SIG, UK PSTI)

Requirements (Minimum Qualifications)

Degree or Master's in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or equivalent.
Minimum 8 years of direct experience in hardware or system design with a proven track record in embedded
Resilient, methodical, and curious approach to design
Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively across internal and external teams
Comfort working with governance constraints (auditability, security, privacy) and designing practical solutions within them

Technical Expertise

Design experience and knowledge in the following: SoC/Processors, DDR4, Flash memory, USB, PCIe, NVMe and GbE technologies
Strong background in wireless design and validation (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LTE)
Experience with CAD tools (e.g. KiCad)
Familiarity with industrial networking (VLANs, switches, firewalls)
Knowledge of industrial cybersecurity principles, endpoint security and remote device management

Good to have

Experience in RF engineering and antenna design

As CSIT is an agency under the Ministry of Defence (Singapore), only Singapore Citizens will be considered.
