Gandhi Nagar in Vijayawada has a Junior SCADA Engineer opening, full time, on site, with a company building industrial control and monitoring systems for regional manufacturing clients. No prior professional experience is required, though the team wants a candidate who's done real hands-on hardware work, even in a college lab setting, rather than purely theoretical coursework.
The job covers designing and testing firmware for hardware devices, debugging circuit and system-level issues, and documenting technical specifications clearly enough that someone else on the team could pick up the work without needing a verbal walkthrough. SCADA work sits at the boundary between software and physical systems, and a mistake here can mean a real piece of industrial equipment behaving unpredictably, which raises the stakes above a typical software bug.
Required skills are SCADA systems knowledge, PLC programming, HMI design, and familiarity with industrial protocols such as Modbus. 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 project level.
Gandhi Nagar sits within Vijayawada's growing industrial and IT services corridor, and the client base for this employer includes manufacturing plants where downtime from a control system failure carries a real, measurable cost, which is part of why the documentation expectations here are stricter than in a typical junior engineering role.
Naukri Mitra has listed a few embedded systems roles from this employer, and junior engineers who joined recently describe the first few months as heavily supervised, working alongside a senior engineer on live client systems before being trusted with independent troubleshooting, a pace the team considers appropriate given what's actually at stake when a control system misbehaves.
Interviews include a technical round on circuit fundamentals and PLC logic, plus a practical exercise diagnosing a simulated fault. Candidates who work through the diagnostic exercise methodically, ruling out possibilities one at a time, tend to do better than those who guess at the answer.
The Vijayawada office itself is a fairly typical mid-size setup, with the Embedded Systems & Hardware team sharing space with a couple of other functions rather than occupying a dedicated floor. That layout means visibility works both ways: good work gets noticed by people outside the immediate team faster than it might at a larger, more siloed employer, and so do mistakes.
A false alarm from a poorly calibrated sensor can be just as costly as a missed real one, since operators start ignoring alerts they've learned not to trust, and junior engineers here are taught early that calibration discipline matters as much as the initial hardware installation itself.
Client sites for this team range from small standalone facilities to larger multi-line manufacturing plants, and junior engineers typically start on the smaller sites before working up to the more complex environments, a progression the team paces deliberately based on demonstrated comfort with live systems.
The team keeps a shared log of every calibration adjustment made across all deployed sensors, and junior engineers are expected to check that history before assuming a reading is simply wrong, since a sensor that's drifted slowly over months can look like a sudden anomaly if you're only comparing it to a single recent reading.
The team keeps a shared calibration log across all deployed sensors, and junior engineers are expected to reference it before assuming a new reading is anomalous, since gradual sensor drift can look sudden if compared only to the most recent past reading.
This role is based at Gandhi Nagar, Vijayawada, pin code 520003, five days a week on site. Pay is up to ₹38,500 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within four weeks.
