Full-time

ASCENDZE PTE. LTD.

Assistant Automation Engineer

Robotics & Project Engineering

Location: Singapore
Employment Type: Full-Time
Experience: Entry Level / Fresh Graduates Welcome
Salary: S$3,200 – S$4,000 per month , depending on qualifications, skills and relevant experience

Build Machines. Learn Robotics. Manage Projects. Grow Your Career.

Are you a young engineer who wants more than a routine engineering job?

Do you want to work with robots, PLCs, automation systems, machine vision and smart manufacturing technologies , while developing the project-management skills to lead your own projects in the future?

We are looking for ambitious, hands-on and motivated young engineers to join our Automation & Project Engineering team.

Fresh graduates are welcome to apply.

You do not need to know everything when you join us. We value your engineering foundation, learning ability, problem-solving mindset, positive attitude and willingness to take responsibility .

You will gain practical experience through real industrial automation projects—from customer requirements and engineering development through machine building, programming, testing, installation and final project acceptance.

What You Will Do

1. Robotics & Automation Engineering

  • Participate in the development and implementation of robotic and industrial automation systems .
  • Support PLC, HMI, robot and machine-control programming.
  • Work with industrial robots, servo systems, sensors, machine vision, pneumatic systems and other automation technologies.
  • Participate in machine setup, integration, testing, debugging and troubleshooting.
  • Assist in identifying technical problems, root causes and corrective actions.
  • Participate in Factory Acceptance Test (FAT), installation, commissioning and Site Acceptance Test (SAT).

2. Project & Schedule Management

This is not purely a technical role. You will also learn how to plan, coordinate and deliver automation projects .

  • Assist the Project Manager/Project Engineer in preparing and monitoring project schedules.
  • Coordinate project activities from design and procurement through fabrication, assembly, programming, testing and installation.
  • Track key project milestones, deliverables and outstanding action items.
  • Follow up with internal teams, customers and suppliers to ensure activities are completed according to schedule.
  • Identify potential delays and project risks and escalate them early.
  • Participate in project progress meetings and technical reviews.
  • Support project documentation, reporting and action-item tracking.

3. Customer Liaison

  • Liaise with customers regarding technical requirements, project schedules and project activities .
  • Participate in customer meetings, design reviews and progress discussions.
  • Follow up on technical information, samples, drawings, approvals and action items.
  • Coordinate FAT, delivery, installation, commissioning and acceptance schedules.
  • Support timely communication of project progress and technical issues.
  • Develop the customer-management and communication skills required to become a future Project Engineer/Project Manager.

4. Supplier & Vendor Coordination

  • Liaise with suppliers and subcontractors on technical requirements, delivery schedules and project priorities .
  • Follow up on purchased components, fabricated parts and outsourced activities.
  • Monitor supplier delivery commitments against project schedules.
  • Coordinate technical clarification between suppliers and the internal engineering team.
  • Identify supplier delays or technical issues that may affect project delivery.
  • Support supplier performance and delivery follow-up.

5. Project Process Management

You will gain exposure to the complete automation project lifecycle:

Customer Requirement → Concept → Design → Procurement → Fabrication → Assembly → Programming → Integration → FAT → Delivery → Installation → SAT → Handover

You will learn how to manage and coordinate each stage to achieve the required Quality, Cost and Delivery (QCD) objectives.

Who We Are Looking For

  • Diploma or Degree in Mechatronics, Robotics, Automation, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
  • Fresh graduates and junior engineers are welcome.
  • Strong interest in robotics, industrial automation and machine development.
  • Interested in learning both software and hardware engineering .
  • Basic exposure to PLCs, robotics, programming, electrical controls, sensors, pneumatics or machine automation is an advantage.
  • Strong logical thinking and problem-solving ability.
  • Good communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Comfortable communicating with customers, suppliers and different engineering teams.
  • Proactive, responsible and willing to take ownership of assigned tasks.
  • Able to work both independently and as part of a project team.
  • Willing to perform hands-on engineering work.
  • Willing to work at customer sites and travel overseas when required.

More importantly, we are looking for someone with the ambition and attitude to learn, grow and take on greater responsibility.
