Role: Junior Firmware Engineer Function: Firmware / Embedded Systems Engineering
Type: Full-time
A venture-backed, seed-stage startup founded in 2023. The company is modernizing the spacecraft component supply chain for low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellite applications.
It specializes in Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) components — reaction wheels, star trackers, and torque rods. Headquartered in the US with operations in Bengaluru, India, the company serves satellite manufacturers and LEO constellation developers worldwide.
The team brings deep experience from high-volume space missions and is driven by a commitment to quality, affordability, and speed. The company has raised $2.2M in funding and is building critical infrastructure for the commercial space ecosystem.

This role is built for a hands-on firmware engineer who has explored embedded systems through academic projects or space club work and is ready to apply that curiosity in a real-world spacecraft hardware environment. The engineer will work on firmware for ADCS components — reaction wheels, star trackers, and torque rods — contributing to the full development cycle from bring-up to validation. This is a ground-floor opportunity to grow with a fast-moving deep-tech startup building critical infrastructure for the commercial space industry.

Assist in bring-up, integration, and testing of embedded firmware on spacecraft subsystems




Write and debug low-level embedded code for microcontrollers used in space-grade hardware
Support hardware-software integration testing and document firmware behavior against hardware specifications
Participate in troubleshooting and root cause analysis during component testing and qualification

0–1 year of experience in firmware or embedded systems development (academic projects count)

- Hands-on project experience with microcontrollers — demonstrated through coursework, personal, or club projects
- Working knowledge of C for embedded/firmware development
- Active participation in a college space club, satellite team, or aerospace project (e.g., Project experience specifically on ADCS subsystems — attitude sensing, reaction wheels, or control algorithms

Familiarity with RTOS concepts (FreeRTOS or similar) in an embedded context
Exposure to hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing or spacecraft simulation environments
Experience with version control tools such as Git in a team project setting
Prior internship or project collaboration with a space startup, ISRO student program, or aerospace research lab

Mentorship from engineers with experience across multiple space missions
Onsite role in Bengaluru embedded within a globally connected US-India team
Ground-floor prospect at a seed-stage startup shaping the commercial space supply chain
