HTX (Home Team Science & Technology Agency) What The Role Is

The Home Team Science and Technology Agency (HTX) is a statutory board under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) that pioneers innovative solutions and develops world‑class science and technology capabilities to transform and empower the Home Team in delivering safety and security for Singapore. This role reports to the Head of Maritime Systems (MS) under the Robotics, Automation, and Unmanned Systems Centre of Expertise (RAUS CoE), who is responsible for developing, deploying, and maintaining the Unmanned Maritime Systems (UMS) capability for the Home Team Departments (HTDs). The job holder will perform capability development work, either through agile development or DevOps, in collaboration with key strategic partners. He / she will be required to translate proof‑of‑concept solutions into viable operational capabilities, and conduct Operational Test & Evaluation (OT&E) to validate the final products before transitioning them into operational systems. The job holder must ensure that all products that pass OT&E are integrated into operational systems, either via mid‑life upgrades or as part of next‑generation platforms and systems. Additionally, the job holder will be responsible for the deployment and sustainment of UMS for HTDs. He / she must ensure that the delivered UMS capabilities achieve the desired outcomes of the Ops‑Tech Masterplan and support Day 1 delivery programmes to meet operational needs on time. The role also involves overseeing Day 2 operations to ensure that the Home Team’s UMS fleet is well‑maintained, highly available, and experiences minimal downtime. What You Will Be Working On

Deliver, deploy and maintain UMS for HTDs. Perform the system integration of multi‑variate components, e.g., platforms, sensors, mission payloads, autonomy and Command, Control & Communication (C3) systems, etc. Liaise and work with multiple stakeholders (ops users, collaborators and vendors, etc.) to deliver projects, ensuring that budget, requirements and schedules are adhered to. Manage the sustainment contracts of operational UMS and ensure operational systems go through a proper maintenance regime throughout the in‑service period. Provide regular updates to senior management on project progress, highlighting project milestones, issues and expenditure. Translate MS technology from multi‑year R&T (TRL 4 to 7) programme workstreams into viable operational capability. Conduct OT&E to validate the final articles before transitioning into operational systems. Ensure proper integration and testing of all hardware and software components as part of OT&E. Perform tech insertion into operational systems either via mid‑life upgrade or into next‑generation platforms / systems. Work closely with Head DevOps / MS to determine the best approach (buy‑vs‑build‑vs‑hybrid) to deliver desired operational capability within the shortest reasonable timeframe. Monitor and ensure timely delivery of milestones for the R&T workstreams. What We Are Looking For

Minimum of bachelor’s degree in engineering; preferably in Electrical / Electronics / Mechanical / Mechatronics / Systems Engineering / Computer Science (post‑graduate degree would be an advantage). 0 to 8 years’ experience in project and technology management, preferably with MS experience. Aspiring fresh graduates with good understanding and strong interest on unmanned systems in the maritime domain. Preferably with basic knowledge of cybersecurity governance best practices and implementation. Preferably with basic knowledge of communication / datalink / networks. Preferably with practical experience in applying systems engineering methodology to develop large and complex systems. Good communication skills. Excellent team player. Self‑motivated and committed with a sense of urgency to deliver the desired outcome. Ability to work under pressure and meet tight deadlines as well as result oriented. Strong analytical, planning and project management skills. PMP, system engineering or equivalent certification would be an advantage.
