SVNIT Surat Research Associate-I / Project Associate-I Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated and skilled researchers holding a Ph.D. in Electronics Engineering, or M.E./M.Tech graduates with significant post-qualification research, teaching, and development experience (3+ years) in VLSI Design, Microelectronics, or Electronics & Communication. Candidates should have a strong academic record (First Class/CGPA 6.5) and expertise in FPGA design, VHDL/Verilog programming, and software skills like Xilinx Vivado, MATLAB, C/C++, and Python. It's particularly suited for those eager to contribute to cutting-edge projects like 'Algorithm Development For Detection of Spoofing Signals in NavIC Receivers (FPGA-Based)' within a prestigious National Institute of Technology.

Individuals without the specified Ph.D. or M.E./M.Tech qualifications (with relevant experience for RA-I) in the exact disciplines should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment will find this contractual, project-based role unsuitable, as it offers a fixed term of 3 years or project completion, with annual extensions based on performance. Candidates unable to work in Surat, Gujarat, or unwilling to comply with the email application process by the deadline (Feb 15, 2026) are not a fit. There is also no provision for TA/DA for interviews or joining.

Working at SVNIT Surat, an Institute of National Importance, offers significant academic and research prestige. While the positions are contractual, they provide an excellent opportunity to engage in high-impact research, publish in SCI journals (for RA-I eligibility), and gain valuable experience in a central government-funded institution. This can serve as a strong foundation for future academic or industry research careers. Opportunities for Ph.D. enrollment at SVNIT, subject to eligibility, further enhance the long-term career prospects for selected candidates.
