Job Description
Title: Satellite Systems Engineer
Industry: Space Technology
Location: Ahmedabad
Role Type: Full-time
Experience: 0-2 years
About The Role
You will join the team responsible for the end-to-end technical definition, verification, and delivery of the company’s SAR satellites and the broader constellation architecture. As a Junior Systems Engineer, you will work under senior leads supporting spacecraft system design, analysis, integration, testing, and operations.
This role is ideal for early-career engineers with exposure to satellite design competitions, UAV/autonomous systems, aerospace/automotive startup engineering, or student-led mission teams.
Responsibilities
• System Engineering Fundamentals
• Support requirements development, flow-down, and traceability for spacecraft bus and mission systems.
• Assist in trade studies across subsystems (power, thermal, ADCS, comms, propulsion, structures).
• Contribute to constellation-level modelling: coverage, revisit, power budgets, SAR duty-cycle impacts, link analysis.
• Participate in CONOPS development, mission timelines, and operational scenarios.
• Modelling, Simulation & Analysis
• Assist with modelling using STK, GMAT, Orekit, MATLAB, Python, or equivalent.
• Run simulations for: orbit propagation, power/thermal profiles, pointing requirements for SAR, satellite data budgets.
• Integration, Test & Launch Preparation
• Support environmental test planning (vibe, TVAC, EMI/EMC).
• Assist in creating ICDs, test procedures, and verification matrices.
• Participate in factory tests, pre-shipment checks, and launch campaign preparation.
• Documentation & Processes
• Maintain system requirements, ICDs, change logs, risks, and configuration documentation.
• Present updates, analyses, and test results in internal engineering reviews.
Minimum Qualifications
• 0-2 years experience, strong fundamentals, curiosity, and discipline:
• BE/BTech in Aerospace Engineering (mandatory).
• 0-2 years full-time experience, OR student project leadership in:
• CubeSat/CanSat teams,
• UAV/autonomous systems,
• Formula Student/Hyperloop,
• aerospace robotics/space tech labs.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication
Knowledge & Skills
• Basic understanding of:
• orbital mechanics & LEO operations,
• key spacecraft subsystems,
• systems engineering concepts (requirements V-model, V&V, review cycles).
• Strong technical communication and documentation skills.
• Familiarity with Python or MATLAB.
Preferred Qualifications (Nice To Have, Not Required)
• Space mission modelling tools (STK, GMAT, Orekit).
• Exposure to SAR concepts, RF systems, or payload–bus integration.
• Exposure to ECSS/NASA systems engineering processes.
• Exposure to hardware testing, HIL testing, or satellite flatsats.
• Knowledge of RF basics and T&C link behavior.
• Experience with JIRA, Git, or similar tools.
Soft Skills & Attitude
• Fast learner with a willingness to understand multiple subsystems.
• Ownership mindset—comfortable with ambiguity and responsibility.
• Ability to work occasional off-hours during critical mission phases (AIT, launch, LEOP, anomalies).
Why Join Us?
• Work on India’s next-generation commercial SAR constellation.
• Full-spectrum systems engineering exposure from day one.
• Mentorship from senior spacecraft & SAR mission experts.
• High-growth environment with increasing responsibility.
