NIT Delhi Project & Research Associate Recruitment 2026 (3 Posts)

This role is ideal for candidates holding a Ph.D. or Master's/Bachelor's degree in Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE), Electronics Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering, or Physics. Strong foundational knowledge in Electromagnetics, Antenna Theory, and RF Circuits, coupled with hands-on experience in EM simulation tools (ANSYS HFSS, CST Microwave Studio), is highly desirable. Candidates must be willing to work on a temporary, project-bound assignment across both Delhi and Dehradun locations.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or those without a strong academic background and practical experience in electromagnetic simulation tools should not apply. Candidates unable to relocate between Delhi and Dehradun as per project requirements, or those exceeding the age limits of 30 years (for Project Associate) or 35 years (for Research Associate), will find this role unsuitable.

Working on a DRDO-sponsored CARS project at a National Institute of Technology offers a significant opportunity for research exposure and collaboration with a premier defense research organization. While the appointment is temporary (two years, co-terminus with the project), it provides valuable experience in a niche technical area and enhances research credentials. The project's nature offers specialized skill development relevant to defense applications and advanced electronics.
