Responsibilities Conduct investigations of Ship Control & Monitoring Systems (SCMS) and Platform Management Systems (PMS), assessing data accessibility and determining viable integration pathways for each deployment. Interface with SCMS and PMS platforms from major marine vendors using industrial communication protocols including OPC-UA, Modbus TCP/RTU, NMEA 0183, and NMEA 2000 to extract vessel data into ZAEL’s systems. Where SCMS/PMS-level integration is not feasible, investigate the underlying PLC and SCADA layers, or work down to IO cabinets and Local Operating Panels (LOPs) to identify and tap available hardware signals. Develop and maintain integration scripts, data adapters, and configuration files that translate raw vessel signals into structured, ingestion-ready data for ZAEL’s analytics pipeline. Interpret basic wiring diagrams, P&IDs, and electrical schematics to understand system architecture and identify practical signal extraction points. Document each vessel integration, including system maps, signal registers, protocol configurations, and deployment records. Support field commissioning activities during occasional vessel visits, including on-site testing, validation, and hands-on troubleshooting of integrations. Collaborate closely with ZAEL’s software team to communicate integration constraints, data availability, and signal quality, helping shape what is practically achievable for each customer deployment. Requirement Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical discipline. Foundational understanding of industrial automation systems, including PLC architecture and SCADA concepts demonstrated through coursework, internship experience, or personal projects. Exposure to industrial communication protocols such as Modbus TCP/RTU and/or OPC-UA. Familiarity with maritime protocols (NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000) is an advantage but not required. Basic scripting or programming ability (Python preferred) for configuration tasks and data parsing. Full software development experience is not required. Ability to read and interpret basic electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, or P&IDs with guidance. Strong analytical and investigative mindset, comfortable working with systems that are unfamiliar, and resourceful in finding a way forward. Clear and structured communication skills, with the ability to document technical findings in a way that is useful to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders. Exposure to or coursework in maritime systems, marine engineering, or vessel automation is an advantage. Other Information Location: Jurong East 5 days work week Working Hours: 8am-530pm
Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
