Work Culture & Environment
Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.
The Simulation Engineer operates within an advanced multidisciplinary engineering and physics research setting at IIT Madras, coordinated by Prof. Sathyan Subbiah (Department of Mechanical Engineering Design / Department of Physics). The role centers on high-fidelity thermal simulations, conjugate heat transfer modeling, and multiphase thermal-fluid network design. Work involves tight collaboration with experimentalists, fabrication technicians, and materials synthesis teams, requiring strong independent ownership of simulation pipelines from problem definition to hardware testing validation.
Posting & Transfer Policy
Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.
The position is stationed on-campus at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The initial contractual tenure is for one year, extendable on an annual basis contingent upon performance review and research project requirements under IC&SR regulations.
Career & Promotion Ladder
Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.
As this is a sponsored project appointment under the Office of IC&SR, standard institute faculty or permanent non-teaching cadre promotion ladders do not apply. Career progression occurs through annual consolidated salary enhancements, extension of appointment, or transitions into senior project officer/scientist roles across funded research initiatives.
Crucial Application Warnings & Eligibility Traps
Avoid common application rejection triggers, photo/signature guidelines, and certificate validity windows.
- Applications must strictly be submitted online via the IC&SR portal on or before 23 September 2026; physical submissions or emailed resumes will not be accepted.
- Applicants already engaged on any project at IIT Madras must apply through proper channels and submit an official No Objection Certificate (NOC) at the time of document verification/interview.
- Mere fulfillment of the minimum degree criteria (B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech) does not ensure shortlisting; the selection committee applies stringent screening based on 2–5 years of demonstrable industrial simulation experience in Ansys, COMSOL, and SolidWorks.
- Multiple applications submitted by a single applicant using different credentials for the same post will result in immediate disqualification.
