Job description

Newton School of Technology (NST) is a new-age institution redefining technical education

in India. Founded by IIT alumni, NST offers a 4-year B. Tech in Computer Science and AI,

focused on hands-on learning and deep industry integration. Within two years, over 93% of

students have secured paid internships with companies like Razorpay, SarvamAI, and

DRDO, along with global exposure through tech treks to Singapore and Silicon Valley. Led

by a distinguished faculty comprising ICPC World Finalists and ex-professionals from ISRO,

Microsoft, MakeMyTrip, and several other leading tech organizations, NST is building a

scalable, high-impact model that produces industry-ready talent for the world’s most

advanced technology roles.

About the Role:

We are looking for VLSI engineers (experience 1-6 years) with a strong foundation in digital

systems and computer architecture to take on an academic teaching role. This full-time

position is ideal for engineers with hands-on experience in RTL design, processor

components, or SoC architecture who are excited to teach how computers are built-from

logic gates to microarchitectures. You will lead classroom instruction, mentor student

projects, and help shape curriculum at the intersection of digital logic, hardware systems,

and architectural design.

Key Responsibilities:

• Teach Computer Architecture by drawing from real-world VLSI design experience—covering instruction sets, pipelining, memory systems, a microprocessor implementation.
• Guide students through lab simulations and RTL projects that explore how architectural concepts are implemented in hardware (e.g., datapaths, control units, cache design).
• Design and evaluate lab work, assessments, and hands-on student projects that simulate industry applications.
• Mentor and support students in their academic and professional development journeys.
• Continuously update course content to reflect current industry trends and technologies.
• Collaborate with fellow faculty, industry mentors, and curriculum designers to enrich learning outcomes.
• Contribute to curriculum development, academic research, and internal learning initiatives.
• Host technical workshops, design challenges, and guest sessions to extend classroom learning.

Qualifications and Requirements:

• M.Tech / Ph.D. (mandatory) in Computer Engineering, Electronics, Electrical, or a related field.
• Experience working on processor subsystems, SoC integration, RTL for custom compute blocks, or related architecture-level VLSI work.
• Strong technical command over topics such as:
• - Computer Architecture: Instruction sets, microprocessors, memory hierarchy, pipelining, cache systems.
• - VLSI Design: CMOS circuits, RTL design, ASIC/FPGA flow, timing analysis, layout.
• Proficiency in tools such as Cadence, ModelSim, Synopsys, Xilinx, Mentor Graphics, etc.
• Working knowledge of HDL languages (Verilog/VHDL) and scripting (Tcl, Shell, Python).
• Excellent communication and classroom delivery skills.
• Demonstrated interest in teaching and mentoring students.

Good to have:

• Prior experience as a faculty member or technical trainer.
• Familiarity with RISC-V, ARM-based processors, SoC Design, or low-power systems.
• Exposure to DFT, verification methodologies, and EDA flows.
• Contributions to open-source, academic publications, or online technical content.
• Comfort with digital tools, LMS platforms, and collaborative teaching formats.
