Maker-in-Residence — The Deep-Tech Foundry Raghu University | Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh | Full time | On-Site About Us Raghu University is a newly formed Deemed to Be University in Visakhapatnam, founded by an entrepreneur who also built a 300-person enterprise SaaS company serving clients across 12 countries. The Deep-Tech Foundry is where students take ideas from screen to physical product. We’re setting up a prototyping lab with 3D printers, PCB fabrication, soldering stations, CNC machines, and edge AI hardware. The goal: student projects that become startups with real, shippable hardware products. The Role A student team has an idea for a water quality monitoring device for aquaculture farms. They can write the software. But who helps them design the enclosure, fabricate the PCB, solder the sensor array, 3D-print the housing, and CNC-mill the mounting bracket? Who turns their screen mockup into something a farmer can hold in their hands? That’s you. The Maker-in-Residence runs the prototyping lab inside The Foundry.



Your job is to help student teams go from working code to working hardware — the kind you can demo to a customer, pitch to an investor, or ship to a first user. You’re not maintaining equipment for a college lab. You’re building an environment where student hardware startups are born. What You’ll Do • Mentor student teams on hardware prototyping end-to-end: concept → CAD → 3D print / CNC → electronics design → PCB fabrication → assembly → working prototype • Help teams design and fabricate custom PCBs — schematic, layout, fabrication, soldering, testing, iteration • Run 3D printing operations: help students prepare CAD files, select materials, optimise prints, troubleshoot failures • Guide CNC operations when needed (we have CNC specialists on campus — you coordinate with them for student projects that require milling) • Bridge hardware and software: help teams integrate sensors, microcontrollers, and edge AI devices into physical products.
