IIT Madras ICSR Senior Project Engineer Recruitment 2026 | 1 Temporary Vacancy

This role is ideal for candidates holding a B.E/B.Tech (with 2 years experience) or M.E/M.Tech degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related fields. The ideal applicant will possess strong skills in CAD, prototyping, and mechanism design, along with a keen understanding of kinematics. Proficiency in SolidWorks/Fusion 360 and hands-on experience with electronics (microcontrollers, sensors, 3D printing) are highly valued. This position suits individuals seeking a temporary, project-based opportunity within a prestigious research environment.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely contractual position for a fixed duration. Those lacking specific technical expertise in CAD, advanced mechanism understanding, or hands-on prototyping/electronics will find it challenging. Individuals unwilling to relocate to Chennai for a temporary assignment or with less than the stipulated 2 years of experience (for B.E/B.Tech holders) should reconsider their application.

Working at IIT Madras, a globally recognized institution, offers significant prestige and a valuable addition to one's professional profile, especially within the Office of Industrial Consultancy and Sponsored Research (ICSR). While the role is temporary, it provides excellent exposure to cutting-edge projects and an opportunity to contribute to impactful research, which can enhance future career prospects in both academia and industry.
