Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) 2026 Recruitment: Technical Assistant cum STEAM Lab Facilitator (1 Vacancy)

This role is ideal for diploma holders in Computer Application, Computer Science, or IT with 1-2 years of experience, particularly in managing labs with IoT devices like Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Candidates should possess strong technical skills in Windows, Linux, MacOS, basic networking, and troubleshooting. Fluency in English, Hindi, and preferably Marathi, along with strong communication and problem-solving abilities, is crucial for engaging with students and faculty, and for field visits to schools.

Individuals without the specified diploma qualification or the mandatory 1-2 years of practical experience with STEAM lab equipment and IoT devices should not apply. Those seeking permanent government positions may find the one-year contractual nature (extendable) unsuitable. Candidates who are not comfortable with daily field visits to MCGM schools in M-Ward Mumbai or who lack proficiency in Marathi (preferred) may find this role challenging.

The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) is a highly reputed Deemed University, a grant-in-aid institution under the Ministry of Education, Government of India. Working at TISS, especially within the Centre of Excellence in Teacher Education (CETE), offers valuable experience in a socially relevant and academically vibrant environment. While this is a contractual, entry-to-mid-level technical support role with limited long-term growth opportunities directly within this specific position, it provides a strong foundation and networking opportunities within a prestigious academic setting, enhancing future career prospects in educational technology or lab management.
