IIT Roorkee Recruitment 2026: 2 Project Associate Positions in ECE

This role is ideal for B.Tech graduates in Electronics and Communication Engineering who possess a valid GATE score and specialized experience in Digital VLSI Circuit Design, including RTL, physical design, and simulations using Cadence Virtuoso and SPICE. Candidates with a strong foundation in semiconductor device physics and a keen interest in pursuing a PhD would find this a valuable opportunity. Preference will be given to SC/ST candidates with equivalent qualifications.

Individuals without a qualified GATE score or the specific expertise in VLSI design, simulation tools, and related concepts should not apply. Those seeking a permanent government position or unwilling to commit to a contractual role (initially one year, extendable) would find this unsuitable. A lack of enthusiasm for collaborative industry work is also a dealbreaker.

Working as a Project Associate at IIT Roorkee, a premier Indian Institute of Technology, offers significant academic and research prestige. This specific project, sponsored by STMicroelectronics, provides valuable industry exposure and practical experience in a cutting-edge field (adaptive digital design for ultra-low voltage and low power operation). The role also presents a potential pathway for PhD admission, offering excellent long-term growth prospects in research and academia.
