About the role
AI summarisedThe Integration Engineer (IMT) at DxD Hub is responsible for leading cross-functional product development, integrating multi-domain subsystems such as optical detection, electrochemical sensing, microfluidics, LFA, PCR, or MEMS. The role requires decomposing complex systems into subsystem interfaces, generating system diagrams, and communicating integration logic to both engineering and non-engineering stakeholders in a research-adjacent environment.
ResearchFull-timeDiagnostics Development Hub
Key Responsibilities
- DxD Hub is Singapore's national platform for diagnostics development. With a mission to revolutionise diagnostics and improve healthcare outcomes, DxD Hub drives the transformation of innovations into clinically validated diagnostic devices ready for market adoption — leveraging an end-to-end, ISO 13485-compliant productisation engine across In Vitro Diagnostics, Point-Of-Care Connected Devices, Digital Diagnostics, and Digital Therapeutics. Our strengths are in cross-disciplinary product development particularly in molecular, protein assay, immunoassays, and digital diagnostic technologies.
- Beyond technical integration, you will co-own project execution together with the Project Manager, taking responsibility for technical planning, milestone tracking, and cross-team coordination — ensuring that engineering progress aligns with project timelines and deliverables. The ideal candidate brings both hands-on engineering rigour and the organisational sensibility to keep complex, multi-disciplinary projects on track.
- Roles and Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain system-level architecture that integrates mechanical, optical, electrical, firmware, and assay components into a functional and testable device.
- Define and manage subsystem interfaces, integration strategies, and system-level verification activities across hardware, software, and chemistry domains.
- Co-manage project execution with the Project Manager: own the technical workplan, track engineering milestones, flag risks early, and coordinate task allocation across engineering disciplines.
- Lead or support design reviews, integration builds, and troubleshooting sessions, and be hands-on during critical build and verification phases.
- Coordinate across mechanical, optical, electrical, assay, and science teams to resolve integration conflicts and maintain design coherence throughout the development cycle.
Requirements
- Bachelor's Degree or higher in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent with demonstrable cross-disciplinary experience.
- 5–10 years in cross-functional product development, with at least one completed full development cycle from proof-of-concept to functional prototype or MVP.
- Hands-on experience integrating multi-domain subsystems; familiarity with at least two of the following modalities is strongly preferred: optical detection, electrochemical sensing, microfluidics, LFA, PCR, or MEMS.
- Demonstrated ability to hold both technical and coordination responsibilities concurrently in a project setting.
- Strong ability to decompose complex systems into subsystem interfaces, generate system diagrams, and communicate integration logic clearly to both engineering and non-engineering stakeholders.
- Comfort operating in a research-adjacent environment where requirements evolve and technical paths are not always predefined.
- Proficiency in at least one data analysis or instrumentation tool (Claude Code, Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or equivalent).
- Familiarity with ISO 13485 design control principles and documentation practices.
- Experience with CAD or system modelling tools is advantageous; exposure to simulation tools (e.g., ANSYS, COMSOL) is a plus.
- Strong interpersonal and written communication skills with a proactive, curiosity-driven approach to problem-solving.
