Senior Assistant Director/Assistant Director, Industry & Partnerships, National Robotics Programme Office
Posting Date: 06 Feb 2025 | Closing Date: 30 Apr 2025
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 and lead a team to perform the following:
Assist Director/DD Industry & Partnerships to develop and implement strategies and initiatives to fulfil NRPO's objectives.
Conduct industry scans and market studies to identify focus sectors and applications with economic potential for Singapore's new (to build) and existing robotics R&D capabilities.
Establish and manage robotics initiatives to support startups and translation of R&D.
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.
Lead a team to establish and manage a focal point in our ecosystem to accelerate the growth of SG-based robotics start-ups and SMEs.
Engage and on-board relevant internal and external partners to support the focal point with their initiatives and programmes.
Conduct scans to identify promising SG-based robotics start-ups and SMEs.
Establish and enhance NRPO's network with robotics seasoned entrepreneurs, industry veterans and experts that would add value to the focal point.
Develop and manage the process of identifying and selecting promising SG-based robotics start-ups and SMEs and matching them to the initiatives and programmes that would accelerate their growth.
Catalyse the development of standards by obtaining feedback from industry on sector/application best practices for robotics, and initiating standards development work with the relevant partners.
Plan and execute events that showcase Singapore's robotics innovation ecosystem and that helps to foster connections and collaborations amongst end-users, robotics & automation companies and IHLs/RIs. Such events could be organised, co-organised or participated by NRPO and could be local or overseas.
Requirements:
8-15 years of relevant working experience, preferably with a background in robotics industry.
Familiarity with robotics or tech startups and startup initiatives/acceleration programs are an added advantage.
Good interpersonal skills to engage and partner diverse internal and external stakeholders.
Excellent communication skills, both written and oral.
Good listener with keen eye for industry's needs.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Able to think ahead to plan and execute with team.
The above eligibility criteria are not exhaustive. A*STAR may include additional selection criteria based on its prevailing recruitment policies. These policies may be amended from time to time without notice. We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
