01 — The role
Why this role exists at EduRankAI
3 months in the electronics lab. Own a scoped board bring-up, test fixture, or test campaign. Real hardware, real lab discipline, real consequences if you skip the validation step. The bar is "you leave with a board that works and a write-up other EEs would read".

What you will own
- 01 Own a scoped electronics deliverable in 3 months.
- 02 Hands-on lab work with oscilloscope + DMM + soldering.
- 03 Author a technical report at the level the team would publish.
- 04 Pair daily with the Senior Electrical Engineer.
- 05 Present findings at end-of-internship review.

What we look for
04 — The bar
Who thrives here
- → You have built at least one hardware project, academic or hobby, that worked.
- → You have soldered a real PCB and recovered from your own mistakes.
- → You read schematics carefully and you can describe a design choice you would push back on.
- → You write technical notes that another EE would learn from.
05 — How we work
The EduRankAI environment
Where you work matters
This role is based in Guwahati (on-site) / Hyderabad / Bangalore — hardware lab access required. We chose this on purpose — the work calls for proximity, collaboration, and presence. We will help with relocation where appropriate.
High autonomy, high standards
We hire adults and trust them. You will be expected to set your own goals, communicate clearly, and ship.
Builders, not bureaucrats
We optimise for clarity over process. Make the call, ship the work, write up what you learned.
Bharat-built, globally ambitious
We are an Indian frontier AI lab. We build for India first and the world second — in that order.
06 — Hiring process
What to expect after you apply
- 01
Application review
Every application is read personally within five business days. We respond either way.
- 02
Take-home or live exercise
Role-specific. Time-boxed. Real problems we are actually working on, not invented puzzles.
- 03
Conversations
Deep technical and values conversations with the team you would join. No trick questions. No panel ambushes.
- 04
Offer or honest no
If yes: digital offer letter, signed in-portal, transparent terms. If no: written feedback if you want it.
