Lead IoT Engineer

Innowave Tech turns human expertise into intelligent systems that solve real industrial challenges. Headquartered in Singapore, we build AI platforms that help manufacturers inspect quality, understand complex processes and automate equipment operations.

Our work connects artificial intelligence, software and practical engineering with the realities of the factory floor. From detecting subtle defects to helping equipment respond to changing conditions, we turn specialist knowledge into capabilities that people can use, trust and scale.

We’re looking for people who ask thoughtful questions, care about how things work and take pride in making them better. Join us to tackle demanding problems, bring ideas into real operating environments and help shape how industry works next.
