Senior Project Officer

This Senior Project Officer role at IIT Madras is ideally suited for highly specialized engineers and physicists with a strong academic background and practical expertise in photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Candidates must possess hands-on experience in SPICE modeling, TCAD simulation, photonics device design, and PIC & EIC tapeout. An undergraduate degree with a minimum of 3 years of relevant industry or R&D lab experience, or a postgraduate degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering or Applied Physics, is essential. The position demands a proactive individual eager to contribute to cutting-edge R&D projects within a dynamic academic environment, offering competitive remuneration and exposure to high-impact research.

Individuals seeking a permanent government or public sector employment will find this role unsuitable, as it is a purely temporary, contract-based position with no inherent right to further extension or regularization. Candidates lacking specific, demonstrated experience in SPICE/TCAD simulation, photonics device design, and particularly PIC & EIC tapeout, as detailed in the advertisement, are unlikely to meet the stringent technical requirements. Those looking for roles outside highly specialized R&D in microelectronics and photonics should also reconsider.

Working as a Senior Project Officer at IIT Madras, a globally renowned institution, offers significant professional prestige and an opportunity to engage with advanced research in a highly specialized field. While the position is contractual, it provides invaluable experience in a leading R&D environment, collaborating with distinguished faculty and contributing to impactful projects in photonic integrated circuits. Such experience can significantly bolster one's career trajectory, opening doors to high-level R&D roles in both academia and cutting-edge industries globally.
