Lead Embedded Systems 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.
