You will join SASTech as Assistant Director, Engineering and Industry Programs. The mandate is straightforward but difficult: build the external ecosystem that ensures SASTech students engage with problems that actually matter. Startups solving hard engineering challenges. Government technology missions. Research institutions working on the next generation of systems. You will map that ecosystem, build trust inside it, and create structured pathways that turn those relationships into real work for students.

Day to day, here is what this role looks like:
- Build and maintain a live map of India's engineering ecosystem: deep-tech startups, developer platforms, engineering-first companies (Postman, BrowserStack, Razorpay and their counterparts), government technology missions (DRDO, ISRO, C-DAC, MeitY), and research institutions
- Build relationships directly with founders, CTOs, Heads of Engineering, research scientists, and government program leads.



Not with HR. These relationships should be built on technical credibility and intellectual exchange, not transactional placement discussions
- Bring real problem statements to campus and structure them into capstone projects, lab challenges, research collaborations, and technology fellowships. Students should be solving problems that matter to the ecosystem, not problems invented for a grade
- Develop partnerships with government technology missions and public research labs for research projects, student fellowships, and lab engagements that give students exposure to systems being built at national scale
- Convert ecosystem credibility into structured pipelines: year-long internships, applied research collaborations, and full time engineering roles at companies that care about the quality of their engineering
- Track and communicate outcomes, prototypes built, research collaborations establ
