IT City in Mohali's Sector 82 has an Associate SCADA Engineer opening, full time, on site, with a company building industrial control and monitoring systems for regional manufacturing clients. One year of experience is the expectation, enough to have already handled real hardware troubleshooting beyond a purely academic lab setting.
The work covers designing and testing firmware for hardware devices, debugging circuit and system-level issues, and documenting technical specifications clearly. An associate-level SCADA engineer here works under closer senior supervision than a more experienced hire would, but still gets genuine hands-on time with live client systems rather than being kept purely to internal training environments for an extended period.
Required skills are SCADA systems fundamentals, PLC programming, HMI design, and familiarity with industrial protocols. A bachelor's degree in electronics, electrical engineering, or a related field is expected, along with practical experience with circuit design, embedded programming, or hardware prototyping, even at a student or early-career level.
IT City in Sector 82 is a purpose-built tech district a short drive from Chandigarh, and the manufacturing clients this team supports depend on control system reliability in ways where downtime carries a real operational cost, which shapes the documentation and testing rigor expected even at this associate level.
Naukri Mitra has listed a few embedded systems roles from this employer, and associate engineers who've joined recently describe the pairing with senior engineers on live client systems as the fastest way they learned, more so than any internal training material could have taught on its own.
Interviews include a technical round on circuit and PLC fundamentals plus a practical diagnostic exercise. Candidates who work through the exercise methodically, ruling out possibilities systematically, tend to do well.
Career progression from this seat tends to follow a fairly clear path: strong performers in a Associate SCADA Engineer role typically move up one level within eighteen months to two years, taking on broader ownership of SCADA systems work rather than a fixed set of tickets. The team has said this progression isn't automatic and depends on genuinely stepping up during that window, not just accumulating tenure.
The client base for SCADA deployments here has expanded into two new manufacturing sectors over the past year, and associate engineers who handle documentation carefully on smaller systems tend to get assigned to larger, more complex client environments sooner than those who treat documentation as an afterthought.
A control system that misbehaves rarely announces itself clearly, and associate engineers here are trained to check the simplest possible explanation first, a loose connection or a misconfigured setpoint, before assuming something more exotic is at fault; the team has seen plenty of hours lost to chasing complex theories when the real cause was mundane.
Client sites here range from smaller standalone facilities to larger multi-line manufacturing plants, and associate engineers typically start on the smaller, lower-complexity sites before progressing to bigger installations, a pace the senior team sets based on demonstrated comfort handling live systems independently.
The team keeps a shared log of every field service call and its eventual cause, and associate engineers are expected to review relevant entries before a site visit when the client's initial description resembles a past documented issue, rather than starting the diagnosis process from scratch each time.
This role is based at IT City, Sector 82, Mohali, pin code 140603, five days a week on site. Pay is up to ₹62,500 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within four to five weeks.
