The next Associate Program starts in August 2011. It is a one year program, therefore it will end in August 2012.

We have already started the interview process. You may apply till the beginning of the actual program (tentative start date 16 August 2011), but the later you apply, the lesser the chances that there will be positions remaining.

You should have either a bachelor’s degree in any engineering subject, or a master’s degree in any science subject, including engineering, basic/applied science or mathematics. If you do not fit within these criteria, but believe there are exceptional circumstances that make you eligible for our program, please send us an email at associateprogramquestions@oneirix.com.

No, the Oneirix Labs Associate Program is not a degree or a diploma course. It is not affiliated with a university. Oneirix Labs is a private limited company. The Associate Program is therefore, an industrial apprenticeship program. You will not get a certificate. You will get an experience letter at the end, like any person who works for us.

“Associate Engineer” is a full-time working position at Oneirix Labs.

The subjects that we teach each year may be different. Please look at the syllabi of the past Associate Programs (2006-07, 2007-08) to get a taste of the kind of subjects we teach. Subjects are chosen based on the following criteria:

General. Subjects of general relevance to any researcher in engineering or science subjects. Includes mathematical subjects such as Linear Algebra, Calculus, Differential Equations as well as basic science subjects such as Mechanics, Thermodynamics, etc. Even though the subjects are “general”, our lectures are much more than “cursory overviews” of the fields. The aim is not to review, but to go beyond the superficial rituals of each subject.

Work related. Many of our projects need us to know some specific mathematics, physics, or engineering topic. These are covered in great detail, and are expected to be different each year. Many of these topics are not listed on our past syllabus listings, due to confidentiality concerns of our customers.

Special interest. Subjects which our team of researchers wish to teach on that particular year, or subjects which the Associates wish to learn.

A. To be a good electronics engineer (or a good any engineer, or scientist) you do need to learn mathematics, physics and other engineering subjects. B. Oneirix believes in, and performs, trans-disciplinary research, research which lies at the boundaries of many mathematical, scientific and engineering fields. We do not believe in classifying knowledge.

Our team of researchers teaches in the classroom training sessions. We all share the passion of delivering good, understandable, informative and challenging classroom lectures. Together, we have over 2000 hours of classroom teaching experience, a large part of which is from teaching outside Oneirix Labs.

No. This is not an educational program but an apprenticeship. You do not have to pay us. “Associate Engineer” is a full-time working position at Oneirix Labs. You will get a stipend.

No. The practical training component of the Associate Program comes from working on real industrial research projects at Oneirix Labs.

A wide variety of research projects are running at a given time, and over the course of the Associate Program, an Associate Engineer is expected to work on multiple projects, giving her/him hands on training in various disciplines such as simulation & modeling, laboratory work, circuit development, writing software, etc. Projects will be assigned keeping in mind the original training of the Associate Engineer, but we encourage cross-disciplinarity in choosing projects.

To apply, you need your personal information, a “statement of purpose” and scores of any of the following exams (no score required if you have not given the particular exam): GRE, AGRE, GATE, JEE, RMO, INMO, XII Board, GPA during your bachelor‘s course, GPA during your master‘s course. When you have all the information ready, apply by filling out this form. You will receive an email from us within a few days, in reply to which you have to send us your resume. If you do not receive an email within a week, check whether our email has mistakenly been marked as ‘spam’ by your email program; if not, enquire with us about the status of your application by sending an email to associateprogramstatus@oneirix.com or calling us at +91 98909 44483.
