About Azista Space Systems:

Azista Space Systems is a leading player in the Indian space market and is rapidly establishing itself as a global force in the space industry. We specialize in providing vertically integrated solutions to our clients, covering a wide range of services and products, including satellites, satellite buses, payloads, sub-systems, and satellite communication equipment.

What We Do:

At Azista Space Systems, we offer comprehensive design, development, manufacturing, testing, and qualification services for spaceborne equipment. Our innovative and integrated approach ensures that we deliver top-quality solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of our customers.

Role Summary:

We are seeking an experienced Systems Engineer with a strong background in spacecraft electronics, RF systems, and avionics. The role involves contributing across the full spacecraft development lifecycle, from system architecture and integration to testing, launch support, and in-orbit operations. The ideal candidate will combine technical excellence in space-grade electronics with strong collaboration skills to drive mission success.

Key Responsibilities:

Electronics and Avionics Design:

• Design and integrate spacecraft electronics including power distribution systems, avionics subsystems, RF and communication interfaces.
• Ensure compliance with space-grade standards and robustness under environmental constraints.

System Architecture and Integration:

• Conduct trade-off studies and optimize electronics system mass, power, and data budgets.
• Ensure seamless integration of electronic subsystems with the spacecraft platform.

Testing and Validation:

• Lead Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) testing to verify system reliability and performance.
• Support qualification testing, including thermal, vibration, and EMI/EMC tests.

Radiation and Reliability Analysis:

• Evaluate components for space suitability and analyze system reliability in radiation-prone environments.
• Recommend design changes for improved fault tolerance and robustness.

Launch and Operational Support:

• Participate in launch campaigns, in-orbit commissioning, and mission operations support.

Documentation and Compliance:

• Develop and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs), Concepts of Operations (CONOPS), Verification & Validation (V&V) plans, and detailed design specifications for electronic systems.

Qualifications and Skills:

Education and Experience:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• Minimum 2 years of experience in spacecraft electronics design, integration, or system engineering.

Technical Skills:

• Strong understanding of power systems, RF systems, PCB design, FPGA-based systems, and avionics software integration.
• Experience with EMI/EMC compliance, radiation-hardened design principles, and FMECA/FMEA practices.
• Proficiency in tools such as MATLAB/Simulink and circuit simulation platforms.

Soft Skills:

• Excellent collaboration and communication skills with the ability to coordinate with multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Experience working with external partners and vendors is a plus.
