  • Support technical decision-making and coordinate resolution of issues related to AMRs, robotics software, navigation systems, PLCs, and automation infrastructure.
  • Ensure compliance with safety regulations, operational requirements, and industry standards.
  • Review deployment documentation, commissioning reports, checklists, and acceptance records to ensure quality and completeness.
  • Risk & Quality Management
  • Identify project risks, dependencies, and potential operational challenges early and implement mitigation plans.
  • Monitor project performance and drive corrective actions to maintain delivery schedules.
  • Ensure high-quality, predictable project outcomes and continuous improvement across deployments.
  • Escalate critical safety, technical, or operational concerns and coordinate resolution with relevant teams.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership
  • Collaborate closely with engineering, software, product, operations, and commercial teams to ensure successful project execution.
  • Coordinate knowledge transfer activities, version upgrades, and deployment readiness reviews.
  • Support smooth project handover to customer support and operations teams during hypercare and post-deployment phases.
  • Prepare and present regular project status reports highlighting progress, risks, challenges, and resolutions.
  • Regional Support
  • Support deployments and customer engagements across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and other regional markets as required.
  • Travel domestically and internationally to customer sites for project execution, stakeholder meetings, and critical deployment activities.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field
  • 3 - 5 years of experience in robotics, automation, or industrial systems

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
