ISPACEI Satellite and Research Pvt. Ltd. is an integrated space-systems company — concept to orbit and beyond, across spacecraft, deployers, ground stations and mission payloads. Our core strength is systems integration, delivered to specifications. We are also growing the capability to originate and own missions in our own right.

Working with NSIL and IN-SPACe; is a GeM Defence Contractor; headquartered in Bengaluru and mentored by the Indian Technology Congress Association.

What we build:
— CubeSat and SmallSat platforms
— Orbital deployers
— Ground stations
— Mission payloads (optical, RF, IoT, scientific)

Flagship programme: 75 Students' Satellites Missions (75SSM) — successive batches of CubeSat constellations, with the first batch currently in build.
Our engineering practice runs on a pragmatic mix of open-source and proprietary tooling, chosen per task. Engineers comfortable across both are valued.
Open roles — positions exist at all levels; designations will be assigned based on years of experience and expertise.
— Embedded / Avionics Firmware Engineer: STM32-class microcontrollers, FreeRTOS or bare-metal architectures, OBC / EPS / ADCS firmware, GNSS receiver integration, low-power design, in-system debug.

— Hardware Engineer: schematic capture and multi-layer PCB layout for OBC, EPS, ADCS and RF boards; component selection and de-rating; signal and power integrity; EMI-aware layout; DFM / DFT.

— RF Engineer: 3–5 years of experience to develop end-to-end RF and communication subsystems for CubeSat and small satellite missions. The role encompasses RF system architecture, communication link design, UHF/VHF/S-band transceivers, antenna systems, RF front-end design, PCB development, link budget analysis, modulation and coding, and communication protocol implementation.
The engineer will support subsystem simulation, integration, environmental qualification (EMI/EMC, vibration, shock, TVAC), verification, and flight acceptance while ensuring compliance with ECSS, CCSDS, and CubeSat standards.
Responsibilities also include RF testing using VNAs, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and power meters, preparation of engineering documentation, and participation in design reviews. The role requires close collaboration with ADCS, EPS, OBC, Mechanical, Thermal, and Software teams to optimize end-to-end mission performance.
Candidates should also contribute to Ground Control Station (GCS) development and integration, including antenna and RF chain design, tracking and Doppler compensation, telemetry and telecommand operations, pass planning, end-to-end communication validation, and mission operations support. Experience with tools such as ADS, HFSS, CST, MATLAB, Altium Designer, and Python, along with prior exposure to CubeSat, satellite, UAV, SDR, or defence communication systems, will be highly valued.

— Mechanical Engineer (Structures, Thermals & Mechanisms): CubeSat structural and mechanism design, finite-element analysis, vibration / shock / random qualification, mass-property analysis, satellite thermal control, GD&T-compliant drafting to ASME Y14.5 or ISO equivalents, DFM / DFA.

— Payload Engineer (Mission Payloads): concept design and integration of optical / imaging, RF / SDR, communications transponder, IoT / AIS / ADS-B, and scientific payloads; sensor and optics selection; FPGA / SoC-based payload data handling; payload-to-bus interface definition; on-orbit commissioning support.

— Systems Engineer (Space Systems): mission planning, orbital simulation, ConOps, constellation geometry, eclipse and link-availability analysis, requirements management to INCOSE practice.

— AIT Engineer (Assembly, Integration & Test): spacecraft assembly and integration, harness build, payload integration, GSE specification, subsystem and system-level functional testing, cleanroom AIT discipline.

— Mission Assurance & Environmental Test Engineer: thermal-vacuum, vibration, shock and EMI / EMC qualification campaigns at NABL-accredited laboratories; FMECA and reliability assessment; mission assurance documentation aligned with ECSS standards.

What the role offers: ownership of real flight hardware, end-to-end exposure from concept through orbit and beyond, and a team that takes engineering rigour seriously.
