Research Associate & Project Associate

This opportunity is ideal for highly qualified individuals with a strong background in Computer Science, Electronics, or related disciplines, specifically those with expertise in Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, Machine Learning (ML) techniques for chip design, and robust programming skills. Candidates aspiring for the Research Associate role should possess a Ph.D. or M.Tech./M.E. with substantial research experience (3+ years), while Project Associate candidates need a B.E./B.Tech. The roles are best suited for those seeking short-term (6-month), project-based work within a prestigious academic and research environment.

Individuals lacking the specified educational qualifications (B.E./B.Tech. minimum for Project Associate, Ph.D./M.Tech./M.E. with 3 years research experience for Research Associate) and relevant experience in EDA tools or ML for chip design should not apply. Those looking for permanent employment or long-term career stability may find the 6-month contractual nature a dealbreaker. Candidates who are uncomfortable with an online interview process or do not meet the core technical competencies will also not be suitable.

Working at IIT Guwahati, a renowned Indian Institute of Technology, offers significant prestige and exposure to cutting-edge research in 'Next Generation AI-Assisted Chip Design'. While these are contractual positions with a limited duration of 6 months, they provide an excellent opportunity for researchers and engineers to contribute to a high-impact project, enhance their resume with IIT affiliation, and build specialized skills in a niche, high-demand area. This can be a stepping stone for future research positions in academia or industry.
