Project Associate I

This role is ideal for recent engineering graduates or postgraduates with a B.Tech/B.E. or M.Tech/M.E. in Mechanical, Electrical, or Computer Science & Engineering, particularly those holding a valid GATE score. Candidates with expertise in AI/ML, image processing, software development, robotics, data analytics, or smart manufacturing are highly preferred. It suits individuals keen on contributing to cutting-edge research in 3D surface profilometry within an academic R&D environment.

Individuals without a valid GATE score (if applying with a B.Tech/B.E.) or a relevant Master's degree should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment or roles outside project-based research may find this 11-month contractual position unsuitable. The role is highly specialized, so candidates lacking experience or strong interest in advanced manufacturing, AI, or related technical domains will not be a good fit.

Working at IIT Guwahati, a top-tier Indian engineering institute, offers significant prestige and exposure to advanced research. While this is a contractual project role, it provides invaluable experience in a high-impact research area, enhancing one's profile for future academic or industry positions in AI and advanced manufacturing. It serves as an excellent stepping stone for a research career or further higher studies.
