HDB houses more than 80% of Singapore’s resident population spread across 24 towns and 3 estates and is continually leveraging Information & Communication Technology (ICT) to make its towns and estates more liveable, efficient, sustainable, and safe for its residents.

You will be involved in a multi-disciplinary area of analytical research to derive actionable insights amidst vast amounts of data to shape a HDB town’s development. You will look into utilising multiple emerging forms of data, combined with new and multi-faceted computational approaches and data analytics methodologies (e.g. machine learning, geospatial techniques, statistical regression, predictive analytics, social science analytics) to derive evidence-based findings to better understand the various phenomena of the urban environment, including establishing how some of these phenomena may be influenced and affected by societal behaviours, interactions or other forms of social science theories.

Your responsibilities will include data acquisition and data fusion, creation of 3D models, and exploring the use of new techniques and algorithms in analysing the urban environment of HDB towns and estates. You will also work closely with stakeholders to scope analytical use cases to work towards transformation of data into valuable knowledge and actionable insights that can be used to streamline processes or formulate solutions, particularly in the domains of sustainability and health & well-being.
