IIITA 2026 Recruitment: Junior Research Fellow & Senior Project Associate - 2 Vacancies

This role is ideal for highly skilled engineers holding B.E./B.Tech and M.E./M.Tech (for Senior role) or B.E./B.Tech (for Junior role) degrees with a strong specialization in relevant areas of Electronics and Communication Engineering. Candidates must possess strong Analog/RF Integrated Circuit Design skills using Cadence EDA tools and good knowledge of MOSFETs. For the Senior position, a GATE qualification and two years of relevant experience are mandatory. These positions are suitable for individuals seeking project-based research experience in a prestigious academic environment, contributing to cutting-edge projects under the 'Chips to Startup Program'.

Individuals without the specified engineering degrees (B.E./B.Tech, M.E./M.Tech) or lacking the critical specialized skills in Analog/RF IC Design, Cadence EDA tools, and MOSFETs should not apply. Those who do not meet the minimum 60% marks criteria, or lack GATE qualification and 2 years of experience for the Senior role, will not be considered. Aspirants looking for permanent government employment may find the initial one-year contractual duration a dealbreaker.

Working at the Indian Institute of Information Technology Allahabad (IIITA), an Institute of National Importance, offers significant prestige and exposure to advanced research. The project, funded by the 'Chips to Startup Program', indicates involvement in innovative and potentially high-impact work related to CMOS Receiver Chip Design. While the roles are contractual, they provide invaluable research experience and networking opportunities, which can serve as a strong foundation for future academic pursuits (e.g., Ph.D.) or specialized careers in semiconductor and electronics industries.
