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.
