Embedded System Design Senior Engineer (Fixed Tenure)

JOBID: ENGG/RRDTP/2026/002Embedded System Design Senior Engineer — 2026INTRODUCTION

We are inviting applications for Embedded System Design Senior Engineer (Fixed Tenure) positions for 2026 from skilled, curious, and highly motivated engineers who want to build life-altering technology and gain hands-on experience across the complete product-development lifecycle.

This opportunity is intended for engineers who have demonstrated the ability to build, execute, troubleshoot and deliver real engineering projects across embedded hardware, low-power systems, wireless technologies, wearables, IoT, intelligent devices and next-generation product engineering.

Freshers without demonstrable Product Development experience or Project Deliverable Execution experience need NOT apply. Academic projects alone, without evidence of meaningful engineering execution, prototype development, testing, integration or delivery, will generally not meet the experience expectations for this position.

Candidates with prior industry experience, career breaks, or gaps in employment are also encouraged to apply. We value demonstrable engineering capability, problem-solving ability, ownership, curiosity and practical product-development experience alongside conventional academic credentials.

The role provides exposure to the complete technology-development journey — from system architecture, electronics design and prototyping through firmware/software interaction, product validation, manufacturing coordination, EMS engagement, and site-level engineering support.

Application Requirements

For candidates proceeding to formal evaluation, the following may be requested:

Resume / CV

Cover Letter

Reference Letters, where applicable

Engineering Case Studies / Project Portfolio

Self-Assessment Form

Relevant GitHub, technical documentation, prototypes, publications, product-development records, or other evidence of engineering work

Incomplete applications may not be considered for further evaluation.
