About Engineering Good

Engineering Good (EG) is a Singapore-based non-profit organisation founded in 2014. We harness technology, engineering and community collaboration to create practical solutions to support the needs of underserved communities and persons with disabilities (PWDs).

Our work focuses on two core areas: Digital Inclusion and Assistive Technology (AT).

Digital Inclusion

We collect, refurbish and redistribute used laptops to underserved communities, including low-income families and migrant workers, providing them with essential access to the digital world. Through our community partnerships, we also deliver digital literacy programmes that help individuals build the skills and confidence to participate meaningfully in an increasingly digital society.

By extending the useful life of donated devices, our Digital Inclusion work also contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing electronic waste.

Assistive Technology

Our AT programme brings together engineers, makers, volunteers, community partners and persons with disabilities to co-create practical and affordable AT solutions.

We take a user-centred, hands-on approach, starting with the needs of the person and working through ideation, prototyping, testing and iteration. Our solutions are typically low-to-mid-tech, affordable and open-source, addressing real-world barriers in areas such as daily living, communication, education, recreation and employment.

Our Impact

• 12,000+ laptops refurbished and distributed
• 28,000+ kg of e-waste diverted from landfills
• 2,000+ assistive tech devices created
• over 400 community partners served

Our work has helped support disadvantaged individuals in seeking upskilling courses and employment opportunities online, and enabled persons with disabilities to participate more independently in everyday activities.

If you are passionate about using your technical skills to create meaningful social impact, we would love to have you join our supportive and collaborative community!

Job Purpose

As the AT Programme Executive, you will work closely with the AT Programme Manager to deliver and coordinate EG's AT programmes, projects and solutions to meet the diverse needs of persons with disabilities and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in their daily lives.

Stakeholder & Project Management

• Coordinate with community partners, including allied health therapists, educators, caregivers and end-users, on project and programme delivery. This includes understanding problem statements faced by PWDs, scheduling and corresponding with the stakeholders.
• Collaborate with our Tech For Good Innovation programme participants and our community of skilled volunteers to deliver projects and solutions. This includes researching, ideating, and building feasible, innovative (low-to-mid tech) AT solutions, as well as taking meeting minutes and producing documentation.

Administrative Support & Documentation

• Maintain and create thorough documentation of all projects for impact reporting, donor engagement, and internal records.
