Descripción de la vacante

PierSight in Ahmedabad is seeking an AOCS Engineer to collaborate with the ADCS and flight dynamics teams on a SAR satellite constellation. You will work on real subsystem problems for a spacecraft being built and flown, under the guidance of a mentor, and see your analysis influence design and test decisions.

Key responsibilities include developing ADCS simulations, analyzing test data, conducting orbit and attitude studies, and documenting methods for reuse by the team.

Formación

• B.Tech, M.Tech or equivalent in aerospace, mechanical, electrical or related field.
• 2-4 years of relevant work experience.
• Coursework in spacecraft attitude dynamics, control systems or orbit mechanics.
• Working knowledge of MATLAB or Python.

Responsabilidades

• Build and refine ADCS simulations in MATLAB or Python, including sensor and actuator models and control mode behaviour.
• Analyse ADCS hardware test data and vendor documentation, and flag limitations or anomalies.
• Run orbit propagation and attitude pointing studies relevant to SAR imaging geometry.
• Assess how attitude and orbit knowledge errors affect SAR data quality.
• Support ADCS integration and testing activities alongside the AIT and Systems teams.
• Document your methods and results so the team can reuse them.

About The Role

We are looking for an AOCS Engineer to work with our ADCS and flight dynamics engineers on a SAR satellite constellation. You will work on real subsystem problems for a spacecraft being built and flown, under the guidance of a mentor, and see your analysis feed into actual design and test decisions.

What You Will Work On

• Build and refine ADCS simulations in MATLAB or Python, including sensor and actuator models and control mode behaviour
• Analyse ADCS hardware test data and vendor documentation, and flag limitations or anomalies
• Run orbit propagation and attitude pointing studies relevant to SAR imaging geometry
• Assess how attitude and orbit knowledge errors affect SAR data quality
• Support ADCS integration and testing activities alongside the AIT and Systems teams
• Document your methods and results so the team can reuse them

Eligibility

• B.Tech, M.Tech or equivalent degree in aerospace, mechanical, electrical or a related field
• 2-4 years of relevant work experience
• Coursework in spacecraft attitude dynamics, control systems or orbit mechanics
• Working knowledge of MATLAB or Python

Nice To Have

• University CubeSat or small satellite project experience
• Experience with STK, GMAT, Orekit or similar mission analysis tools
• Familiarity with state estimation (Kalman filtering, residual analysis)
• Interest in SAR or EO missions, GNSS-based orbit determination, or propulsion and attitude interactions

Attitude

• Comfortable working between theory and hardware reality
• Curious, and keen to build understanding from first principles
• Clear communicator who can explain results to non-specialists

What You Will Gain

Hands-on experience on a real satellite programme, direct mentorship from the ADCS team, and a project you can own and present at the end of the internship.
