Senior Scientist I, Hub Of The Future, Iaic

About the Project: The Aviation Meteorology project is a key initiative at A*STAR, focused on developing cutting-edge solutions to enhance air traffic management in Singapore. This project involves significant research and development in aviation meteorology, with a strong emphasis on translating research into operational, user-centric software solutions. As a scientist on this project, you will have the opportunity to work on challenging problems and collaborate with a dynamic team of researchers, engineers, and external partners to make a real-world impact on aviation safety and efficiency. Job Responsibilities Domain Mastery: Actively learn and acquire deep domain knowledge in aviation and weather systems to conduct impactful research and build contextualised solutions. Research & Algorithm Development: Lead and conduct research in areas relevant to the aviation research project. Develop and apply advanced algorithms and models to solve complex problems in air traffic control/management and meteorology. Research Translation: Work closely with collaborators, researchers, and end-users to formulate requirements and translate A*STAR research into viable, user-centric software solutions and prototypes. System Design & Development: Design, build, and maintain robust, scalable, and modular systems. While this is a research-focused role, a strong understanding of software engineering principles is crucial for creating practical applications from your research. End-to-End Delivery: Oversee and actively participate in the entire software development lifecycle, from ideation and consulting to deployment and maintenance of the research-driven solutions. Agile & Collaborative Work: Collaborate with a variety of teammates (designers, product owners, other researchers) to build features, design concepts, and interactive prototypes. Use and advocate for agile practices to consistently deliver high-quality software and bring value to collaborators. Stakeholder Engagement: Communicate research findings and technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Manage interactions with demanding stakeholders and align differing priorities to keep projects moving forward smoothly. Job Qualifications Education: A PhD degree in Computer Science, Atmospheric Science, Engineering, or a related discipline. Technical Skills: Experience: At least 1-3 years of relevant post-graduate research or professional software development experience. Programming Proficiency: Strong programming skills in languages such as Python, Java, or C++. Experience with front-end technologies like TypeScript and React is a plus. Scientific Computing & Modelling: Proven experience in scientific computing, data analysis, and developing mathematical or machine learning models. Software Craftsmanship: Strong foundation in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and the ability to write clean, high-quality, and well-tested code. Professional Skills: Adaptability & Resilience: You thrive in ambiguous situations, can navigate complex challenges from multiple perspectives, and remain open to change when necessary. Problem-Solving: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to break down complex problems and design innovative solutions. Communication & Collaboration: Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment and engage with a variety of stakeholders. Conflict Resolution: You take a constructive approach to professional friction. You are comfortable navigating difficult conversations with tough collaborators and working toward common ground.
