Develop embedded firmware in C/C++ for microcontroller-based systems
Develop and debug interfaces using UART, SPI, I²C, GPIO and similar embedded peripherals
Perform hardware bring-up, firmware-hardware integration, and bench-level debugging
Support development and integration of RF communication hardware (transceivers, RF front-ends, antenna interfaces) — detailed specifications provided under NDA
Assist with communication protocol implementation and packet-handling software
Conduct RF/communication testing using standard lab equipment (VNA, spectrum analyser, signal generator, oscilloscope, power meter)
Support link-level validation and communication-system test campaigns
Prepare engineering notes/logs per ISPACEI documentation standards and participate in internal design/test reviews
Coordinate with OBC, ADCS, EPS, and Mechanical/Thermal teams on system-level integration issues
Required Skills
2–3 years hands-on embedded systems development experience
Solid Embedded C/C++
Solid understanding of microcontrollers, peripherals, interrupts, RTOS/bare-metal environments
STM32 or equivalent MCU experience preferred
Practical hardware debugging and bring-up experience
