ABOUT

Agnikul Cosmos is a company incubated at IIT Madras and we build rockets that can take satellites up to 500 kg to Lower Earth Orbit (LEO). In May 2024, we successfully completed our maiden launch from our own launchpad (India's first private launchpad). The launch has proven all the new technologies developed by Agnikul and also earned recognition from Honourable Prime Minister of India.

We are seeking Junior RF Systems Engineer, who will support the development, integration, testing, and maintenance of RF systems used in applications. The ideal candidate should have a strong foundation in RF and microwave engineering, hands-on experience with RF test equipment.
