IIT Madras Senior Project Officer Recruitment 2026 - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for experienced M.Tech/Ph.D. holders in Embedded Systems, Electrical, or Electronic Engineering who possess strong C/C++ programming skills for microcontrollers and hands-on experience with embedded system design, firmware development, sensor interfacing (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN), real-time systems, and PCB-based platforms. Candidates seeking a challenging, project-based temporary position at a premier academic institution will find this suitable.

Individuals without specific experience in embedded system design and firmware development, or those lacking proficiency in C/C++ for microcontrollers and relevant communication protocols, should not apply. Those looking for a permanent position or higher number of vacancies may find this role less appealing given its contractual nature and single vacancy.

Working as a Senior Project Officer at IIT Madras, one of India's leading engineering institutes, offers significant academic and research prestige. While the role is temporary and project-specific, it provides an excellent opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in Aerospace Engineering, enhance a professional profile, and gain valuable experience in a high-impact environment. The institute's reputation opens doors for future career advancement in both academia and industry.
