Singapore A*STAR RESEARCH ENTITIES Remote Work Freelance Full time
The Surface Remanufacturing Technology (SRT) Group at SIMTech is looking for a hands-on, motivated Research Engineer to support both current and emerging technologies in advanced surface processing and materials characterisation. The successful candidate will contribute to industry-driven and competitively funded projects with a strong focus on practical application and operational continuity across key technologies.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Conduct metallurgical analysis through sample preparation (such as sectioning, mounting, and polishing), etching, microscopy, spectroscopy, and detailed documentation of microstructural features
  • Assist in the setup, operation, and troubleshooting of spray coating processes in collaboration with experienced team members. These may include but are not limited to thermal spray, cold spray, ultrasonic spray, vacuum-based spray coating, and other related deposition techniques.
  • Contribute to the development and enhancement of new surface engineering capabilities. This includes gaining hands-on experience, conducting experimental trials, and supporting knowledge build-up for advanced technologies such as vacuum plasma spray and other future platforms.
  • Support and perform regular operations of surface engineering system, including equipment setup, process optimisation, and quality evaluation. This includes systems such as Hydrodynamic Cavitation Abrasive Finishing (HCAF) and other emerging finishing techniques.
  • Document procedures, analyse results, and prepare technical reports or project presentations.
  • Assist in lab operations, procurement, safety compliance, and 8S housekeeping standards.

Job Requirements:
  • Bachelor's Degree (or higher) in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or related fields.
  • Hands-on experience with material characterisation tools such as optical microscopes and sample preparation equipment.
  • Exposure to surface engineering techniques (e.g., abrasive flow machining, thermal/cold spray, laser systems) and material characterisation techniques (e.g. SEM, XRD, hardness testing) is an advantage.
  • CAD/CAM experience (SolidWorks, PowerMill) and basic programming (Python, MATLAB, etc.) are a plus.
  • Critical thinking, initiative, and ability to work both independently and within a team.
  • Good communication skills and ability to engage with internal stakeholders and industry partners.
