Systems Engineer – Spacecraft Design

Employment Type : Full Time
Location : Ahmedabad
Department : Engineering – Satellite Systems

We are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Systems Engineer to support the design, development, and execution of spacecraft systems from concept to launch and beyond. This role requires close collaboration across multiple subsystems and an ability to contribute to spacecraft architecture, integration, testing, and mission operations.

Key Responsibilities

System Architecture and Design

  • Conduct trade-off analyses and optimize system parameters including mass, power, and data budgets.
  • Participate in evolving and adapting mission architectures to meet specific satellite program goals.

Subsystem Integration

  • Collaborate with engineering teams across power, avionics, and communication subsystems to ensure functional integration.
  • Support resolution of system-level design and interface issues.

Testing and Validation

  • Assist with Assembly, Integration, and Testing (AIT) of spacecraft, including Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) simulations.
  • Support test execution and verification processes across project phases.

Launch and Operational Support

  • Contribute to launch campaign planning and execution.
  • Support in-orbit commissioning and early mission operations during critical phases.

Documentation and Compliance

  • Develop and maintain technical documentation including Interface Control Documents (ICDs), Concepts of Operations (CONOPS), and Verification and Validation (V&V) plans.
  • Present technical solutions to stakeholders and project partners

Proposal and Mission Strategy

  • Participate in proposal development and mission-level system design strategies for upcoming space missions.
Qualifications and Skills

Education and Experience

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Minimum 2 years of experience in satellite systems engineering or spacecraft integration.

Technical Skills

  • Proficient in systems engineering methodologies, including FMECA/FMEA, FDIR, and requirements management.
  • Experience with system modeling and simulation tools such as STK and MATLAB/Simulink.

Soft Skills

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams in a dynamic project environment.
