Job Title: Lead Systems Engineer (Satellite Systems and Design)

Location: Gurugram - Onsite

Job Type: Fulltime

Key Responsibilities

- Lead end-to-end satellite system design and architecture development for CubeSat and small satellite missions.
- Translate mission objectives into system-level requirements, ensuring alignment across all subsystems (payload, power, ADCS, propulsion, communication, and thermal).
- Own and manage system budgets including mass, power, data rate, link budget, and ΔV.
- Perform system trade-off studies to optimize performance, cost, and risk for mission success.
- Drive system integration and interface definition across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
- Lead and coordinate design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR) and ensure technical readiness at each stage.
- Develop and maintain system engineering documentation, including requirements, ICDs, and verification plans.
- Ensure mission feasibility and performance validation through simulations, analysis, and testing.
- Work closely with payload and RF teams to define communication architecture, link budget, and coverage strategy.
- Support launch vehicle integration,



mission planning, and on-orbit operations strategy.
- Identify and mitigate technical risks, ensuring reliability and compliance with space standards.
- Collaborate with program management to support schedule, cost, and milestone tracking.
- Mentor and guide junior engineers, fostering strong systems engineering practices within the team.

Desirable Skills & Certifications:

- Experience with mission analysis, orbit design, and simulation tools (STK, GMAT, MATLAB/Python).
- Solid understanding of CubeSat subsystems – ADCS, Power, Thermal, Propulsion, and RF communication systems.
- Hands-on experience in system integration, testing, and verification (AIT/AIV) for space systems.
- Knowledge of RF systems, link budget analysis, and IoT payload design (LoRa, SDR, LPWAN).
- Familiarity with space standards and best practices (ECSS, NASA standards, IN‑SPACe/ISRO guidelines).
- Solid skills in multidisciplinary coordination, technical leadership, and stakeholder management.
