This role is ideal for experienced engineering graduates (Mechanical, Electronics, Electrical, or Biomedical) with a minimum of three years of post-qualification experience in project coordination, government liaison, medical device development, or related technical domains. Candidates should be keen on contributing to an ICMR-funded research project focusing on cardiovascular devices within a prestigious national institute. Individuals from ST/SC categories are particularly encouraged to apply due to backlog vacancies.

Applicants lacking the specified four-year engineering degree or the mandatory three years of post-qualification experience should not apply. Those unwilling to work on a project-based contractual role, even with potential extensions, or who prefer permanent government positions, might find this role unsuitable. The institute does not provide TA/DA for the interview process.

SCTIMST is an Institution of National Importance, offering a highly reputable environment for research and development. Working on an ICMR-funded project enhances one's profile in medical device research and offers valuable experience. While initially contractual, the institute's stature provides excellent networking and future career advancement opportunities in the research and biomedical engineering sectors, especially within central government research ecosystems.
