Junior Research Fellow & Project Associate

This role is ideal for highly motivated engineering graduates (Bachelor's or Master's) in Electrical, ECE, Aerospace, Mechanical, or Computer Science disciplines. Candidates with a GATE qualification (for JRF) and a strong interest in Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), particularly in GNC algorithms and simulation, will find this project-based, temporary position rewarding. Individuals with prior experience in UAS development are particularly well-suited.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment will find these roles unsuitable as they are purely contractual and project-based. Those without a relevant engineering degree or a strong focus on drone technology, GNC algorithms, or related fields should not apply. Lack of GATE qualification would be a dealbreaker for the Junior Research Fellow position.

Working at IIITDM Kurnool, a government institute, on a project funded by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) offers significant prestige and exposure to cutting-edge research in drone technology. This project-based role provides valuable experience in a high-demand, niche area, enhancing a candidate's profile for future R&D or industry positions, despite its temporary nature.
