The Advanced Remanufacturing and Technology Centre (ARTC) is an industry-led Centre by the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) in collaboration with Nanyang Technological University (NTU).

Based on a contemporary business model of public-private partnership, the Centre transforms remanufacturing and manufacturing research into industry ready solutions for cross-sectoral industry members by bringing together bestin- class global companies and R&D minds in Singapore.

Directed Energy Deposition (DED) is a key technology for generative and regenerative applications at the heart of ARTC's remanufacturing and manufacturing research. We are looking for people with the passion and drive to join us as part of the Remanufacturing Process Technology (RPT) Group in advancing our research to solutions for industry, and to develop the technology as well as our capabilities as we strive to become the centre of excellence in DED for the next generation of sustainable and autonomous manufacturing.

The Remanufacturing Process Technology Group also consists of research teams in surface additive and enhancement technology (e.g. cold spray), advanced machining technology and nnovative automation solutions for which individuals may also explore.

JOB DESCRIPTION

The scope of the research engineer includes process development, quality evaluation, engineering design, as well as establishing process monitoring & control and more as described further in the following.

Responsibilities:
