ABOUT US:

Join a team that is redefining the accessibility of space. Azista space is a transformative force in the global aerospace sector, uniquely positioned at the intersection of indigenous innovation and industrial scalability. Operating India’s first private-sector satellite mass-production facility in Ahmedabad, we have bridged the gap between complex engineering and high-volume manufacturing.

As a vertically integrated leader, we provide end-to-end solutions from the precision design of satellite buses and advanced payloads to mission management and communication systems. We don’t just build hardware, we are democratizing the final frontier by providing global clientele with the cost-effective, high-performance technology needed to power the next generation of orbital missions. At Azista, you won't just be starting a job, you’ll be fuelling the future of space exploration.

JOB SUMMARY:

As an Embedded Firmware Engineer, you will own the full development lifecycle for high-reliability, 32-bit SoC, SoM, and microcontroller platforms powering our flight systems and payloads. You will work at the hardware-software boundary—architecting boot flows, designing custom device drivers, and developing register-level code built to withstand extreme operational constraints.

In this role, you will collaborate closely with hardware, systems, and mission engineering teams. Your core success metrics center on system uptime, zero-defect firmware builds, hardware-in-the-loop validation accuracy, and adherence to safety-critical aerospace coding standards.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:





- Firmware Architecture & Design: Architect, develop, and test low-level embedded firmware for 32-bit SoCs, SoMs, and MCUs (ARM Cortex-M/A) deployed on orbital hardware.
- Low-Level Hardware Integration: Write register-level drivers, custom bootloaders, and Board Support Packages (BSPs) while optimizing memory mapping and interrupt handling.
- Communication & Protocol Implementation: Develop and validate robust data pipelines across UART, SPI, I2C, USB, and Ethernet (UDP).
- Board Bring-Up & Debugging: Lead board bring-up by interpreting hardware schematics and utilizing JTAG/SWD debuggers, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and FPGA debugging tools.
- Safety & Reliability Standards: Enforce rigorous code quality via unit testing, static analysis, structured peer reviews, and adherence to safety-critical compliance frameworks.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with RF, power, and payload engineers to support system integration, environmental testing, and root-cause analysis.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR?

- Education & Experience: B.E./B.Tech in ECE, EEE, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience with 3–5 years of qualified embedded firmware development.
- Core Language Proficiency:



Advanced proficiency in Embedded C/C++ targeting resource-constrained systems.
- Processor Expertise: Hands-on development on 32-bit architectures (ARM Cortex-M/A, STM32, NXP, TI, ESP32, Renesas).
- RTOS & Boot Flow: Demonstrated experience with FreeRTOS (or equivalent RTOS), memory management, interrupt handling, and custom bootloader development.
- Hardware Debugging: Proven ability to read schematics and debug at the bench using JTAG/SWD, logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes.
- Toolchains & VCS: Experience with Git workflows, CMake/Make, and GCC-based or vendor toolchains (Keil, IAR).

PREFERRED & NICE-TO-HAVE:

- Safety-Critical Standards: Exposure to MISRA C, DO-178, IEC 61508, ISO 26262, or PTP 1588.
- Aerospace Domain Knowledge: Familiarity with radiation-tolerant architectures, space payload telemetry, or mission-critical embedded systems.
- Test Automation: Experience building automated unit tests, HIL test setups, and CI/CD pipelines for firmware.

WHY JOIN AZISTA SPACE?

- Real Flight Impact: Write software that actively flies in orbit and powers critical orbital constellations.
- End-to-End Ownership: Work across the entire product lifecycle from blank-canvas architecture to on-orbit commissioning.
- Pioneering Ecosystem: Be part of India's commercial space revolution with access to state-of-the-art testing labs and satellite manufacturing infrastructure.
- Engineering-First Culture: Collaborate alongside top-tier aerospace, RF, and hardware engineers solving hard physics and software challenges.
