Pi, ESP32, etc.).

Integrate and calibrate various sensors (temperature, pressure, motion, etc.) ensuring

accurate performance.

Participate in PCB fabrication, soldering (including SMT) and prototype testing.

Perform functional testing and troubleshooting of circuits and systems.

Support mechanical design and prototyping using CAD tools (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or

Fusion 360).

Operate 3D printers and CNC machines for rapid prototyping and component

fabrication.

Assemble mechanical systems involving motors, gears, shafts, and other components.

Conduct testing and evaluation of mechanical prototypes for reliability and durability.

Safely handle and operate hand and power tools (drills, saws, grinders, etc.) during

fabrication.

Maintain and calibrate lab instruments, tools, and testing equipment in good working

condition.

Train and mentor engineering students in electronics, embedded systems, and

interdisciplinary STEM projects.

Conduct hands-on demonstrations, workshops and lab sessions on circuit design,

sensors, programming, and prototyping.

Guide students in design thinking, innovation and project development, aligned with

institutional competitions and initiatives.

Develop STEM-based learning modules, tutorials, and instructional materials.

Supervise and evaluate student project progress, providing technical and conceptual

feedback.

Promote innovation, creativity and problem-solving through interactive and

experiential learning methods.

Support institutional initiatives such as capstone projects, hackathons, innovation

fairs, and exhibitions.

Collaborate with faculty to integrate practical STEM applications into academic

coursework.

Maintain documentation of student activities, attendance and project outcomes.

Support administrative tasks, internal audits and documentation, ensuring proper lab

organization and safety.

Prepare study materials, technical reports, and presentation slides for students and

institutional use.

Skills and Competencies

Strong foundation in electronics, programming, and embedded systems.

Hands-on experience with Arduino, ESP32, sensors, motors, and circuit development.

Familiarity with virtual design and simulation tools such as Tinkercad, Proteus,

MATLAB, or Arduino IDE.

Proficiency in PCB design tools (Eagle, Altium, or KiCAD) and soldering techniques.

Familiarity with CAD tools (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or Fusion 360) for mechanical

design and prototyping.

Experience using sensors and electronic testing instruments (oscilloscope, multimeter,

etc.).

Creative problem-solving, mentoring, and communication skills.

Ability to engage and inspire students through interactive and project-based teaching.

Experience with STEM-based educational kits, innovation challenges, or hands-on

student projects is a plus.

Proficiency in MS Excel, Word, and PowerPoint for documentation and reporting.

Excellent communication and instructional skills with a student-centric teaching

approach.

Ability to manage laboratories, conduct workshops, and support institutional STEM

initiatives.

Prior experience in teaching, training, or mentoring engineering students is desirable.

Exposure to Maker culture, Hackathons, or Startup incubation programs is

advantageous.

Basic knowledge of AI, ML, or Python programming will be beneficial.
