About Us Grafito Innovations is a deep-tech startup building advanced precision farming automation solutions. We are on a mission to revolutionize agriculture through cutting-edge robotic grafting technology — combining robotics, AI, and precision engineering to help nurseries and polyhouse farms across India achieve dramatically higher productivity with consistently high success rates.
Our machines operate in real agricultural environments, which means every component we design — including the electronics that power our automation systems — must be reliable, precise, and robust. We're a small, tightly-knit team working on problems that matter at a global scale, and we move fast.
Role Overview
Duration: 2–3 Months Location: On-site (Maker Village, KINFRA Hi-Tech Park, Kalamassery, Kochi, Kerala)
As a PCB Design Engineer Intern, you will be an integral part of Grafito's electronics team, responsible for building and validating the custom circuit boards that power our agricultural automation machinery. This is a hands-on role where your work directly impacts the hardware at the heart of our grafting robots.
What You'll Do
- Design PCB circuit boards using industry-standard tools such as EasyEDA and KiCad, from schematic capture through to layout and fabrication-ready outputs
- Perform in-depth technical analysis, circuit simulations, and signal integrity checks to validate designs before manufacturing
- Conduct thorough PCB reviews to identify and correct errors — including design rule violations, component placement issues, and routing problems — before boards go to production
- Follow and uphold good PCB design practices including proper grounding, decoupling, trace width calculations, and layer stack planning
- Read, interpret,
and extract key specifications from component datasheets to make informed design decisions and component selections
What We're Looking For
- A genuine passion for electronics, IoT, and robotics systems — someone who tinkers, experiments, and genuinely loves the craft
- Great attention to detail: errors in PCB design can cause component failures, machine downtime, and real financial losses — precision matters
- Strong foundational knowledge or a demonstrated ability to learn across analog electronics (op-amps, filters, sensors), digital electronics (microcontrollers, logic, communication interfaces), and power electronics (regulators, converters, protection circuits)
- Ability to work independently on-site, manage tasks, and communicate progress clearly
Eligibility
- Freshers and currently enrolled college students are warmly welcome to apply — no prior professional experience is required
- Background in Electronics / Electrical Engineering / Mechatronics or related fields preferred
- Must be willing to complete a short screening assignment as part of the selection process
Why Join Us?
- Work on real hardware that ships to farms — your designs go into production systems, not just lab experiments
- Get access to skilled AI tools to accelerate your design workflow
- Performance bonuses tied to quality of work and initiative
- Collaborate directly with robotics, software, and mechanical engineering teams
- Gain experience across the full PCB lifecycle: design, review, simulation, and manufacturing handoff
- Be part of Kerala's growing deep-tech and agri-tech startup ecosystem
