System Engineer (Photonics & Laser Systems) DSC/TE/17801, Singapore

We are seeking a highly skilled System Engineer with expertise in photonics and laser systems to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in electrical engineering, photonics, or laser technology and at least five years of experience in designing and integrating complex photonics-based systems. This role requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving power management, communications, optics, thermal considerations, and opto‑mechanical integration.

As a System Engineer, you will collaborate with cross‑functional teams—including software, mechanical, electrical, and optical engineers—to develop and optimize advanced photonic and laser‑based solutions. Your ability to conduct system‑level design, analysis, and integration will be critical in ensuring high‑performance, reliable, and scalable systems.

• Lead the system‑level design and integration of photonics and laser systems, considering power, communications, optics, thermal management, and mechanical constraints
• Define system architecture, requirements, and specifications based on application needs and performance goals
• Work closely with optical, electrical, mechanical, and software engineers to ensure seamless system functionality
• Conduct trade‑off analyses and feasibility studies for system optimization
• Develop and implement testing and validation procedures for photonic and laser‑based systems
• Support prototyping, troubleshooting, and performance optimization of integrated systems
• Ensure compliance with industry standards and safety regulations for laser and photonic systems
• Provide technical documentation, including system design reports, test plans, and integration guidelines

• Bachelor or Masters in Electrical Engineering, Photonics, Lasers, or a related field
• 5+ years of experience in design, integration, and development of photonic or laser‑based systems
• Strong understanding of laser optics, optical components, opto‑mechanical systems, and system‑level integration
• Experience with power management, thermal control, and communication interfaces for photonic systems
• Hands‑on experience in prototyping, testing, and troubleshooting photonics hardware
• Experience with Zemax, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or similar optical/system design tools
• Knowledge of laser safety standards (e.g., IEC 60825‑1) and regulatory requirements
• Background in fiber optics, free‑space optics, or high‑power laser systems
• Familiarity with embedded systems, FPGA, or real‑time control systems
• Ability to collaborate across disciplines, working effectively with mechanical, electrical, software, and optical engineers
• Strong problem‑solving skills and ability to manage complex system challenges
• Working location is in Ang Mo Kio
• Singaporeans Only

• An environment where you will be working on cutting‑edge technologies and architectures.
• Safe space where diverse perspectives are valued, and everyone's unique contributions are celebrated.
• Meaningful work and projects that make a difference in people's lives.
• A fun, passionate and collaborative workplace.
• Competitive remuneration and comprehensive benefits.
