Ai Engineer

**Posting Start Date**:09/05/2025

AI Singapore (AISG) is a national AI programme launched by the National Research Foundation (NRF) to anchor deep national capabilities in Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The programme office is hosted by the National University of Singapore (NUS) and brings together all Singapore-based research institutions and the vibrant ecosystem of AI start-ups and companies developing AI products to perform use-inspired research, grow the knowledge, create the tools, and develop the talent to power Singapore's AI efforts.

The AI Apprenticeship Programme (AIAP), which is a flagship programme launched by AISG, aims to groom local AI talent and enhance their career with AI-related skills. Apprentices in the programme will first undergo 2 months of deep-skilling, followed by 7 months of executing real-world projects. Since its launch, there have been 18 batches of apprentices who have embarked on this award-winning programme.

To complement the flagship AIAP, AIAP Foundation was launched—an AI-powered learning platform designed to prepare aspiring apprentices with foundational AI and machine learning skills before they enter the full-time programme. Built with cutting-edge technologies such as large language model (LLM) agents, personalized feedback systems, AIAP Foundation provides learners with a self-paced, hands-on environment to experience what it’s like to be an AI Engineer. This initiative not only enhances learner readiness but also helps scale AI talent development in Singapore.

The AIAP Foundation team is seeking passionate engineers to help shape the future of AI talent development in Singapore. As part of the team, you will play a key role in refining the platform, building AI-powered features, and launching innovative initiatives that enhance the learning experience for aspiring AI professionals. You’ll collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to develop scalable tools and immersive learning simulations, all designed to prepare apprentices for real-world AI roles. You will join a passionate group of people who are inspired to nurture AI talents and be part of the team to lead the growth of the sector in Singapore.
