Job description

Job Title: Field Application Engineer (Polytechnic Diploma or Engineering Degree)
Location: Singapore
Employment Type: Full‑Time
Reporting to: Chief Technology Officer (CTO)

Company Overview

Datakrew is revolutionizing EV fleet intelligence with cutting‑edge IoT/AI solutions. Our flagship embedded hardware device, ITUS EV Scanner, integrates with vehicles of all makes and models to capture real‑time usage data for deep insights into vehicle performance and diagnostics. We are backed by global investors, including Greenwillow Capital, BEENEXT, 500 Global, AngelList, SEEDS (SG Growth Capital), XA Network, Cloud Capital, Lighthouse Canton, and others, with an active customer footprint in 7 countries.

Our goal is to serve one million EVs within the next 5 years and, as a company, touch a billion lives with technology.

Job Overview

We’re looking for a hands‑on Field Application Engineer with a Polytechnic Diploma who loves building, testing, fixing, and making things work — both in the lab and out in the field. You’ll be the bridge between our product team and real‑world deployments: flashing firmware using standard tools, installing devices in vehicles, running tests, and helping keep our hardware rock‑solid for customers.

This role is ideal for a Diploma/Degree holder in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field who enjoys practical work, learning on the job, and growing into a specialist in EV and telematics systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Go on site visits to install, deploy, test, and support our hardware in real vehicle environments.

• Flash firmware and perform updates on devices using standard tools and SOPs; assist in testing new firmware releases and elevate complex issues to the engineering team.

• Perform initial checks on faulty or returned units, carry out basic repairs or part replacements, and work with engineers to diagnose root causes.

• Run quality control (QC) checks on devices before shipping to ensure every unit leaving our lab is reliable.

• Handle hardware logistics — packing, labelling, and tracking devices being shipped to customers and partners.

• Use test equipment (e.g., multimeter, power supply, basic scopes) to verify wiring, power, and signal integrity according to checklists.

• Record test results, photos, and observations from field deployments and share them with the product and software teams to help improve reliability.

• Follow safety procedures and documentation standards when working on vehicles and electrical systems.

You’re a Good Fit If You

• Hold a Polytechnic Diploma/Engineering Degree in Electrical / Electronic Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.

• Are comfortable working with electronics, cables, connectors, and test equipment (e.g., multimeter, power supply), and are keen to learn new tools such as oscilloscopes and firmware flashing utilities.

• Have a basic understanding of vehicle electrical systems or embedded/IoT hardware; prior exposure to CANbus, telematics, or automotive electronics is a plus (training will be provided).

• Don’t mind getting your hands dirty — from soldering a connector to mounting a device in a tight space inside a vehicle.

• Can juggle lab testing and field visits without losing track of details or checklists.

• Enjoy working in a small, fast‑moving team where your work has a direct and visible impact.

• Are willing and able to travel for on‑site work within Singapore and occasionally in the region, when required.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• You’ll work on cutting‑edge vehicle technology that is actively deployed in real fleets.

• You’ll get strong hands‑on exposure to EVs, telematics, IoT hardware, and diagnostics.

• You’ll have a real voice in how our hardware is built, tested, and shipped, and see your suggestions implemented quickly.

• Small team, big ownership — your work directly affects product quality and customer success.

• Clear growth path into senior Field Application roles, hardware engineering, or technical operations as you gain experience.

Minimum Requirements

• Minimum Qualification: Polytechnic Diploma (or equivalent) in Electrical / Electronic Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, or related field.

• Experience: 0–3 years of relevant experience in electronics, field service, automotive, or telematics is preferred. Fresh graduates with strong hands‑on projects are welcome to apply.

• Eligibility: We are looking to hire a Singapore Citizen or Singapore Permanent Resident for this role, due to operational requirements.
