IIT Roorkee Project Positions (SRF) Recruitment 2026: 01 Vacancy for AI Inference Chip Project

This role is ideal for highly specialized B.E/B.Tech (ECE) graduates with a mandatory GATE qualification and at least 5 years of experience in semiconductor device physics, network theory, and VLSI circuit design. Candidates with hands-on experience in EDA tools (Cadence, Spice, TCAD), HDL (Verilog/Verilog-A), and scripting (Python, Perl, Bash) who are enthusiastic about cutting-edge research in AI inference chips will find this opportunity particularly rewarding.

Individuals lacking the mandatory GATE qualification or the minimum 5 years of relevant experience should not apply. Those without a strong background in VLSI circuit design, semiconductor device physics, or proficiency in the specified EDA tools and languages will not be suitable for this highly technical and specialized project. The short, contractual duration of six months might also be a dealbreaker for those seeking long-term permanent employment.

Working as a Senior Research Fellow at IIT Roorkee, a globally recognized premier institution, offers significant prestige and a valuable addition to one's research portfolio. This project involves advanced research on AI inference chips, providing excellent exposure to cutting-edge technology and a strong foundation for future careers in R&D, academia, or specialized industry roles, despite its initial short-term contractual nature. It's an opportunity to contribute to significant technological advancements within a top-tier academic environment.
