Research Associate I RA I & Project Associate I PA I

This role is ideally suited for highly motivated PhD or M.Tech graduates in Electronics Engineering, particularly those specializing in VLSI Design, Microelectronics, or Electronics & Communication. Candidates should have a strong research aptitude, a desire to contribute to cutting-edge projects (like the ISRO-funded 'Algorithm Development For Detection of Spoofing Signals in NavIC Receivers'), and proficiency in skills such as FPGA design, VHDL/Verilog, Xilinx Vivado, MATLAB, C/C++, and Python. The Research Associate-I position specifically targets individuals with significant post-qualification research or industry experience and an SCI publication record, while the Project Associate-I welcomes fresh M.Tech graduates.

Candidates without the required advanced degrees (PhD/M.Tech) in relevant disciplines should not apply. Those unwilling to work on a purely contractual basis for a defined project duration, or individuals lacking the specific technical skills mentioned (e.g., FPGA design, VHDL/Verilog) will find this role unsuitable. For the RA-I position, the absence of post-M.Tech experience and an SCI journal publication would be a dealbreaker if applying with an M.Tech degree.

Working as Project Staff at Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology (SVNIT), Surat, on an ISRO-funded project offers substantial prestige and a valuable addition to a research-oriented career. This opportunity provides hands-on experience with advanced technologies relevant to national space applications. While contractual, it offers strong exposure to high-impact research, potential for Ph.D. enrollment at SVNIT, and builds a robust foundation for future academic positions, R&D roles in government organizations, or specialized industry careers in VLSI and embedded systems.
