Engineer (Autonomous Vehicles)

PSA is at the forefront of maritime logistics, leveraging cutting-edge automation to redefine port operations. Beyond traditional automation, autonomous vehicular technology is a key area in container transportation across our current and next-generation terminals.

Major responsibilities:

• System commissioning & integration: Lead the field-side commissioning of Autonomous Vehicle (AV) platforms. You will ensure that vendor-delivered hardware and software are correctly integrated into PSA’s specific terminal workflows and infrastructure.
• Workflow validation : Design and execute testing regimes to validate vehicular navigation and safety in real-world port conditions. You will use data and ground observations to provide the technical feedback loop necessary to refine PSA’s partner solutions and influence their technology roadmap.
• Test logistics & stakeholder coordination: Manage the logistics of testing. This includes coordinating vehicle movements, charging/refueling windows, and maintenance with line departments and operational shift teams.
• Technical maintenance, diagnostics & troubleshooting: You will be responsible for understanding the system architecture to support long-term preventative maintenance, localized diagnostics and troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis. Coordinate with equipment engineering to establish maintenance schemes. You will ensure that the AV hardware is robust enough for the 24/7 port environment and participate in "train-the-trainer" sessions for operational teams.
• Documentation: Develop Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), risk assessments, and technical reports to establish a safe and scalable framework for AV operations.

Requirements:

• Engineering degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or related fields

• Understanding of key AV technologies including localization, perception, drive-by-wire

• Strong analytical skills and the ability to manage the administrative rigors of technical project logistics

• Effective internal and external stakeholder management

• Proficient in data visualization tools like PowerBI

• Preference will be given to those who have:

• basic mechanical/electrical troubleshooting skills  

• experience in sensor calibration processes

• knowledge of industry Standards e.g. ISO 21448 (SOTIF) or ISO 26262 (Functional Safety), and for robotics, ISO 10218 (Industrial Robots) or ISO 13482 (Service/Mobile Robots)

• Class 3 driving license

Only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
