Job description

JoinST Engineering’s Group Technology Office (GTO)as anAI Engineerand play a key role in developing intelligent agents within simulation environments. This is an exciting opportunity to applygenerative AIandreinforcement learningtechniques to build agents that learn, adapt, and act in realistic, human-like ways.

As part of a high-performance applied R&D team, you will collaborate with top researchers in Singapore and abroad to push the boundaries of AI-powered simulation. If you’re passionate about innovation, eager to grow, and excited to contribute to impactful projects, this is the role for you!

This is a 2-year contract position (convertible if good performance) based in Singapore.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop AI Agents in SimulationImplement and train reinforcement learning agents capable of perceiving and acting within virtual environments.

• Build Human-Centric AgentsIntegratevision-language models (VLMs)to create agents that can understand both images and text, and behave in human-like ways.

• Generate Synthetic DataDevelop tools to generate synthetic data and scenario variations within simulation environments for AI training and evaluation.

• Experiment and EvaluateConduct experiments using state-of-the-art and in-house AI models, analyze performance, and iterate based on findings.

• Test and OptimizeSupport performance benchmarking, debugging, and optimization of models and simulation systems.

• Document and Share KnowledgeClearly document methodologies, results, and learnings in code, reports, or presentations to ensure continuous team learning.

• Collaborate Across TeamsWork closely with engineers, researchers, and other stakeholders on tasks like data preprocessing, model integration, and system deployment.

Required Skills

• EducationMaster’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, AI, or a related field.

• AI/ML ExperienceMinimum 2 years of experience (industry or academic) in AI/ML development.

• Programming SkillsProficient inPython, with hands-on experience using libraries such asPyTorch,OpenCV, andLangChain.

• Technical UnderstandingSolid grasp ofgenerative AIandreinforcement learningprinciples. Familiarity with at least one popular LLM or VLM.

• Team PlayerStrong communication and collaboration skills. Comfortable working in a multidisciplinary environment and sharing knowledge with peers.

• Preferred (Bonus) Skills

• Simulation/Game Engine ExperienceFamiliarity withUnreal Engine, including use ofBlueprintsorC++for interactive simulation development.

• 3D Modeling & Game DesignExperience or interest in 3D modeling, animation, or game design using tools likeBlender,Maya, or similar.
