    Research Engineer (Microgrid Controller Design) - TKJ2

    Posting Start Date: 04/12/2025

    Schemes of Service: Research

    Division: Engineering

    Employment Type: Fixed Term

    As a University of Applied Learning, SIT works closely with industry in our research pursuits. Our research staff will have the opportunity to be equipped with applied research skill sets that are relevant to industry demands while working on research projects in SIT.

    The Research Engineer (Microgrid Controller Design) will contribute to a one-year applied research project funded by the Singapore Army, focusing on the development of a mobile DC microgrid for military tactical applications. The role involves designing and implementing advanced control algorithms to coordinate multiple energy sources including battery energy storage systems (BESS), solar PV, and diesel generators, and dynamically assign grid-forming roles under varying operating conditions. The engineer will develop, simulate, and test controller logic using MATLAB/Simulink or similar environments, analyse performance across diverse scenarios, and document results for technical reporting. This position is ideal for candidates with a strong foundation in control systems, software development, and power or energy management applications.

    Key Responsibilities
    • Participate in the research project to design a mobile DC microgrid controller for military tactical applications.
    • Develop control algorithms for dynamic master selection, coordinating BESS, PV, diesel generators, and other sources.
    • Implement predictive, rule-based, or optimisation-based control strategies using MATLAB/Simulink, Python, or embedded software tools.
    • Integrate controller logic with the microgrid model and validate performance under different simulated conditions.
    • Conduct testing of control strategies under various operating conditions such as extreme weather, load variation, equipment failure and deployment constraints.
    • Prepare documentation, flowcharts, control logic diagrams, and controller specifications for the final report.
    • Assist with procurement of software licences and technical equipment.
    • Conduct Risk Assessments and ensure compliance with WSH regulations.
    • Support supervision of capstone project students involved in the project.
    • Work independently and collaboratively to maintain research software and project tools.
    • To communicate and liaise with any internal and external stakeholders to ensure project deliverables are met.
    • Any other ad-hoc duties assigned by supervisor.

    Job Requirements
    • Bachelor's degree or above in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field from a recognised university.
    • Strong programming skills in MATLAB/Simulink, Python, C/C++, or similar environments.
    • Understanding of control systems, power electronics, or energy management strategies.
    • Experience in microgrid controller design is advantageous.
    • Familiarity with BESS control strategies, SOC management, or optimisation algorithms preferred.
    • Support supervision of capstone project students involved in the project.
    • Ability to implement and test algorithmic logic using simulation tools.
    • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and debugging skills.
    • Excellent technical writing, communication, and interpersonal skills.
