DSO National Laboratories

DSO aims to develop technologies and solutions that can provide technological surprises to sharpen the cutting edge of Singapore's national security.

About the company

As Singapore's national defence R&D organisation, DSO National Laboratories creates the critical edge in defence technology to force multiply the Singapore Armed Forces' (SAF) combat capabilities and render potential threats irrelevant.

Our more than 1,000 research scientists and engineers build strategic technological capabilities for Singapore across the domains of air, land, sea, space and cyberspace.

We organise our R&D competencies into seven divisions to enhance the SAF's operational effectiveness in the core areas of comprehensive situation awareness, superior decision-making, and enhancing the performance, protection, safety and survivability of our soldiers on the battlefield.

Many of the SAF's mission-critical systems today bear the invisible imprint of our work. We take pride in our ability to fuse our multi-disciplinary expertise into cutting-edge technologies and systems that cannot be commercially procured.

DSO looks for candidates with a sound technical foundation relevant to our R&D work. As the majority of R&D that we conduct is project-related, candidates should be team players with good communication and project management skills. Being open, with a willingness to learn, is advantageous as well, for DSO always seeks to offer our employees training opportunities for both professional and personal development.
