Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer – Power Electronics

About Orbitt Space

Orbitt Space is a spacetech startup founded by ex-ISRO scientists and engineers, developing next-generation ion propulsion systems for ultra-low Earth orbit (ULEO ~200 km) satellites.

Our propulsion systems integrate high-voltage power electronics with DSP-based real-time control systems to achieve precise and stable plasma operation in orbit.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer with deep expertise in DSP programming for power electronics to lead firmware development for our propulsion power systems.

You will design and optimize control algorithms, PWM generation, and closed-loop DSP firmware for high-voltage converter systems, enabling efficient plasma control and spacecraft stability.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect, develop, and maintain firmware for TI C2000x DSPs (F2837xD, F28004x, etc.).
• Implement and tune closed-loop PID control for voltage and current regulation.
• Design and manage PWM generation, ADC / DAC configuration, and interrupt-based control loops.
• Develop bootloader firmware for modular and upgradable system architectures.
• Simulate and validate control algorithms using MATLAB / Simulink.
• Integrate and test firmware with power electronics hardware, performing real-time debugging and tuning.
• Lead HIL testing, firmware validation, and safety feature implementation.
• Collaborate with hardware and systems teams to ensure closed-loop stability and performance.
• Mentor junior engineers in firmware design, control algorithms, and system integration.
