The Purpose

We are seeking an enthusiastic, self-motivated, and innovative individual who is a quick learner with excellent interpersonal skills to join the Dimensional Laboratory at the National Metrology Centre. The successful candidate will provide technical expertise and leadership in the following areas:

The Role

• Maintenance and quality assurance of national measurement standards in length and dimensional areas.
• Establish international equivalence of length and dimensional measurement capabilities through participation in measurement comparisons.
• Disseminate the national length and dimensional standards and measurement technologies to the industry through calibration and measurement services and applied R&D in metrology.
• Provide industrial metrology consultation, technical training and proficiency testing programmes for semiconductor, precision engineering, aerospace as in advanced manufacturing sectors.
• Develop new measurement solutions and build new metrology capabilities and services based on emerging needs of the industry; and developing programmes to enhance technical competencies of lab personnel.
• Raise measurement capabilities of industry by conducting consultancies, training and proficiency testing in length and dimensional measurements.
• Troubleshoot complex measurement deviations, evaluate performance of high-end dimensional instruments and coordinate equipment maintenance and qualification.
• Conduct technical assessments under Singapore Accreditation Council-Singapore Lab Accreditation Scheme, and training of new technical assessors.
• Mentor junior metrologists, graduate trainees and student attachments; conduct internal technical training, review technical reports and resolve complex measurement non-conformities.
• Achieve international recognition for calibration and measurement capabilities in length and dimensional areas through peer-reviews by external experts; and undertaking peer-reviews of other national metrology institutes as a domain expert.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with other NMC labs, A*STAR research divisions and SAC technical committees to advance national dimensional metrology capabilities

The Requirement

• Minimum bachelor’s degree in science or engineering.
• Practical equipment skills: hands-on operational experience with laser interferometers, optical measuring systems, contour and surface texture measuring instruments.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving ability, self-motivated, able to deliver independent technical projects and communicate effectively across teams.
• Comprehensive understanding of dimensional metrology: linear, angular, flatness, straightness, roundness, surface roughness and GD&T geometric dimensioning & tolerancing.
• Excellent verbal and written English; able to independently draft technical reports, assessment records, SOPs and official calibration certificates.
• Knowledge and experience in the field of optics and laser technology, nanotechnology/nanometrology, length and dimensional metrology (e.g., laser interferometer, surface metrology etc.) in advanced manufacturing (e.g., semiconductor & precision engineering) will be a preference.
• Knowledge of instrumentation and statistical analysis.
• Automation and digital skills, and experience in technical and project management will be an advantage
