The National Robotics Programme Office (NRPO) is responsible for catalysing differentiated robotics R&D capabilities at our Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) and Research Institutes (RIs) for the benefit of our economy and society. NRPO also works to foster public-private partnerships to ensure robotics technologies and IPs developed with public funding are relevant for industry and are commercialised into useful products, services and solutions that are adopted in Singapore and around the world.

A key role of NRPO is to bring together end-users across different industries, robotics & automation companies, and our IHLs/RIs to identify use cases and technology gaps that public-private partnerships can help to address. In so doing, we enhance Singapore's robotics R&D capabilities and help Singapore-based robotics & automation companies to innovate and differentiate themselves in the market.

Another key role of NRPO is to work together with partner agencies to grow our robotics (supply-side) industry comprising system integrators, robot vendors, software and component suppliers. A strong and vibrant robotics (supply-side) industry with companies developing and making robotics products and solutions here for export will help to support our end-user industries and act as vehicles for the commercialisation of technologies and IPs developed by our IHLs/RIs.

We are looking for a self-motivated person with a keen interest in robotics, to join NRPO to perform the following:

• Assist in planning and implementing initiatives to fulfil NRPO's objectives.
• Monitor industry trends and needs to identify translation opportunities for robotics R&D capabilities, technologies, and IPs.
• Be deployed to assist Deputy Director/Head to manage and implement activities of robotics innovation clusters that are aligned with focus sectors and applications identified.
• Work together with internal and external partners to engage and secure collaboration with international and private sector end-users and robotics & automation companies for translation and commercialisation at scale.
• Assist Deputy Director/Head to implement the activities of a focal point in our ecosystem to accelerate the growth of SG-based robotics start-ups and SMEs.
• Undertake market research and analysis to track the growth SG-based start-ups and SMEs.
• Work together with relevant internal and external partners to help SG-based robotics start-ups and SMEs.
• Curate, report and present NRPO's industry-relevant information.
• Secretarial duties.

Requirements:

• At least 5 years of relevant working experience, preferably with a background in robotics industry.
• Good interpersonal skills to liaise and work with diverse internal and external stakeholders.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and oral.
• Willing to learn, adaptable and flexible.
• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail.
• Able to work independently and in a team to complete tasks with minimal supervision.
