[What the role is]


MPA is seeking a candidate for the newly formed Maritime Space Policy & Plans Office (MSPPO) within the Operations Transformation & Plans Division (OTPD) under the Ops-Tech Cluster. The OTPD supports MPA’s mission by ensuring that policies, plans, and procedures are operationally ready to address incident and crisis scenarios as well as ensure port security and maritime safety. OTPD is also entrusted with developing future operating concepts in the multi-domain (space, air, sea, sub-sea and cyber) area of operations and translating them into operational requirements for the purpose of capability development in MPA.
Crisis scenarios include severe events caused by geopolitical risks, pandemics, natural disasters, and climate change effects, as well as major incidents such as piracies, vessel collisions and sinkings, oil/fuel/chemical spills etc. which could cause disruptions to the global supply chain and negatively impact port security and maritime safety.
To ensure that Maritime Singapore is well-prepared for crisis scenarios, there is a critical need to strengthen and future-proof our operational responses and safeguard Singapore’s national and maritime interests. The complexity of such crises necessitates capability development and collaboration across multiple domains in the assigned area of operations. Future operating concepts must leverage capabilities and sensors across multiple domains to enhance information exchange and data connectivity for situational awareness, detection of anomalies for timely intervention and effectiveness and timeliness of responses in a crisis.

[What you will be working on]

You are responsible for the development of MPA’s capabilities in space-based systems and technologies. This includes the use of geospatial data and satellite connectivity to develop solutions to help build a comprehensive maritime situational awareness picture to support incident/crisis management or improve operational efficiencies.

Your responsibilities include:

• Manage maritime-related space technology projects/pilots, track key milestones, and manage risks and issues, proactively identifying areas for improvement and implementing necessary adjustments to ensure project’s success delivery.

• Drive and track program/projects outcomes towards timely operationalisation and/or commercialisation.

• Coordinate cross functional teams and work closely with RI/HLs/Academia to stay abreast of innovation and scientific development in the intersection of space tech and maritime.

• Help develop a strategy and roadmap for improving maritime operations through Space technologies. To constantly monitor and iterate progress.

• Leverage individual’s existing extensive connections and relationships to form strategic partnerships with maritime industry players (e.g. regulatory bodies, vessel operators, port authorities) and encourage adoption of space solutions.

• Generate leads and engage leading or promising space tech x maritime companies that are strategically important to MPA to establish a presence in Singapore.

• Work dynamically and effectively in both MPA and OSTIn on a work-load basis.

Note: Successful candidates should expect to be attached with The Office for Space Technology and Industry, Singapore (OSTIn) with the Economic Development Board as part of the job scope and career development.

[What we are looking for]

Background in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) is preferred (e.g. aerospace engineering, avionics, electrical/electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, physics/applied physics) or other quantitative fields can apply. Past experience in satellite communications will be an advantage. Past experience in software engineering, data science and analytics especially in the geospatial domain will be an advantage. Strong analytical, interpersonal and communication skills. Able to lead projects. Good command of English and writing skills. Excellent problem-solving and organising abilities. Able to leverage data to develop empirical-based models for appreciation of system effectiveness and aid in decision making. Project management experience. Knowledge of geospatial simulation and modelling software tools (eg. ArcGIS) will be an advantage.
