Deployment Engineer

At IT Labs, we are looking for a hands-on Deployment Engineer to support one of the most exciting companies in the AI and engineering space.

Our client (based in Singapore) is building a next-generation platform that combines AI, simulation, and high-performance computing to help engineers design everything from aircraft and cars to semiconductors and energy systems faster and more intelligently.
