DSTA is so lacking in applicants, they started recruiting undergraduates a few years back. Offering undergraduates money and contracts to lock them in like SAF and Police. That is how desperate they are.

They need SINGAPOREAN Engineers. Limited pool of people to recruit from, hence the above average pay. Good thing is the company will never replace you with cheap FT engineers. There are projects that can only be handled by SINGAPOREANS. Bad thing is the skills are not transferable. Once you leave, you may have to start over.

I used to place DSTA as my backup plan, in case my first few career choices didn't pan out.
