The Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) invites applications for Research Engineer or Research Fellow positions in the areas of low-power electronics, embedded systems, and energy-efficient hardware design for next-generation aerial robotics. The selected candidate will play a central role in designing lightweight, energy-optimized electronics that enable long-endurance, power-constrained drone platforms.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design custom PCBs for lightweight, low-power drone platforms, including sensor interfaces, power regulation, embedded processors, and communication modules.

  • Develop power-efficient electronics architectures optimized for endurance-constrained aerial vehicles.

  • Implement and evaluate energy harvesting technologies (solar, kinetic, thermal, vibrational, or tethered power).

  • Design and optimize battery management systems (BMS) and energy management algorithms for dynamic flight conditions.

  • Develop low-power embedded firmware for real-time sensing and control.

  • Conduct hardware prototyping, testing, and validation for field-deployable drone systems.

  • Perform trade studies on weight, efficiency, thermal performance, and power consumption.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related fields.

  • Strong experience in PCB design (Altium, KiCad, Eagle, OrCAD, etc.).

  • Hands-on experience with low-power circuit design, including DC-DC converters, PMICs, sensor drivers, and embedded microcontrollers.

  • Knowledge of energy harvesting mechanisms and ultra-low-power hardware design methodologies.

  • Strong foundation in battery systems, power electronics, and battery management systems.

  • Experience with embedded systems programming (C/C++, MicroPython, etc.)
