Overview
Our story began four decades ago. From a mere three-member team, we've evolved into a premier R&D institution, with more than 1,000 research scientists and engineers, who work seamlessly across disciplines to build strategic capabilities for Singapore in the domains of air, land, sea and cyberspace. 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. The DSO Discovery Internship Programme is a window into the world of cutting-edge R&D.
Details
This comprehensive programme is specially designed to ensure that you benefit from DSO’s vibrant and nurturing environment, as you uncover your passion for research and grow your knowledge in multi-disciplinary areas.
You’ll be paired with a supervisor who will mentor, guide and expose you to real responsibilities and challenges. Your mettle will be put to the test, as you work on innovative projects that matter to Singapore’s defence and national security. And if you are truly outstanding, you might also get to broaden your horizons by experiencing your internship abroad.
And did we mention fun? We have lined up numerous events that will allow you to interact with other interns, our staff and senior management. As you learn more about us, we want to get to know you better too.
It’s more than an internship. It’s an insightful and enjoyable adventure that will grow, shape and prepare you for a career in the exciting realm of defence R&D.
