IGRUA Simulator Engineer-I Recruitment 2026

IGRUA Simulator Engineer-I Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi (IGRUA), an autonomous flying-training institute under the Ministry of Civil Aviation, is hiring a Simulator Engineer-I for its campus at Fursatganj Airfield in Amethi. The role sits inside India’s pilot-training ecosystem and brings together aircraft-simulator maintenance, software support, computer hardware, networking and campus technology systems. Advertisement IGRUA/ADVT/29/2026 is aimed at an experienced technology professional who can work across both specialised simulator equipment and everyday IT infrastructure.

The notification presents the Fursatganj campus as a disciplined, residential aviation environment with green surroundings and a comparatively low cost of living. It also highlights the satisfaction of contributing directly to the country’s leading aviation-training ecosystem. Your technical background needs to be broad: the institute highlights simulator maintenance alongside operating-system installation, hardware debugging, database tools, web technologies, cybersecurity basics, cloud platforms and enterprise software. This mix makes the position wider than a routine desktop-support role, because the systems support a working flying-training institution.
