Job description

Bangalore North, India | Posted on 06/15/2026

About the Job Role

We are building space‑grade systems — satellite subsystems, FlatSat platforms, avionics, and payload electronics — and we are looking for a hands‑on engineer at the start of their career who already lives and breathes space technology. This is a role for someone who has been building, breaking, and iterating on real hardware and software, not just studying it. You will work alongside senior systems engineers on flight‑model hardware, FlatSat integration, firmware development, and end‑to‑end testing of subsystems destined for orbit.

Responsibilities

• Support design, assembly, and testing of satellite subsystems (EPS, Avionics, OBC, Communications, Payloads).
• Contribute to FlatSat integration and test execution — wiring up subsystems, running functional tests, debugging at the bench.
• Develop and debug firmware for micro controllers and embedded targets (STM32, ESP32, or similar).
• Assist with PCB bring‑up, hardware validation, and Verification & Validation (V&V) activities.
• Write and maintain test scripts, automation, and documentation.
• Work with version control (Git) and follow structured engineering processes.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree (completed or final year) in a core engineering discipline: Electrical / Electronics, Aerospace, Mechanical, or Computer Science / Software Engineering.
• Demonstrable space‑related project experience — university satellite programs, CubeSat / FlatSat builds, student space clubs, CanSat competitions, or rocketry teams.
• A portfolio (GitHub, project reports, demo videos, or documented builds) showing real hands‑on work in space tech or complex engineering.
• Foundational skills in at least one of: embedded firmware (Embedded C / C++, microcontroller programming); PCB design and hardware bring‑up; systems engineering, requirements, or test/V&V; software development (Python, C++) for hardware control or data processing.
• Evidence of initiative and drive — projects you started yourself, leadership in a club, hackathons, self‑taught skills.

Nice‑to‑Have

• Direct CubeSat or FlatSat experience (design, integration, or testing).
• Familiarity with space mission lifecycle, mission assurance, or flight qualification.
• Experience with Nvidia Jetson, Petalinux, LVDS, or rad‑hard / edge computing concepts.
• Hobbyist background: aeromodelling, FPV drones, software‑defined radio, DIY electronics.
