Job description

About Orbitt Space

At Orbitt Space , our mission is to pioneer the next generation of ultra-low Earth orbit (ULEO) satellites that can operate at altitudes as low as 200 km , where no conventional satellites can survive.

We are developing air-breathing electric propulsion systems that use the residual atmosphere as propellant to sustain satellites in these extreme conditions. This disruptive technology will enable longer missions, lower costs, and game-changing applications in Earth observation, connectivity, and defense.

We are an early-stage, deep-tech space startup founded by ex-ISRO scientists , currently preparing for our Propulsion system design and testing phase . For this critical development phase, our roles are high-responsibility and high-ownership positions.

Your Role

As a Instrumentation and Control Engineer , you will design and implement the control systems and instrumentation backbone for Orbitt Space’s propulsion and satellite platforms.

A key part of your role will be to develop and deploy instrumentation for plasma thruster testing in vacuum chambers — working with high-voltage systems, plasma diagnostics, and precision measurement hardware to ensure reliable propulsion system performance.

Key Responsibilities

Contact us if you are expert in 3 or more areas from below.

Control System Development

  • Design, simulate, and validate robust control loops for propulsion and satellite subsystems.
  • Implement real-time control strategies for dynamic in-orbit conditions.

Plasma Thruster Instrumentation

  • Design and integrate plasma diagnostic instrumentation (Langmuir probes, Faraday cups, retarding potential analyzers, emissive probes).
  • Work with vacuum-compatible sensors for current, voltage, pressure, and temperature monitoring.
  • Implement high-voltage measurement and interlock systems for safe thruster operation.
  • Develop data acquisition systems (DAQs) and interfaces for real-time monitoring of thrust, discharge characteristics, and plume behavior.
  • System Integration & Testing

  • Integrate control and instrumentation systems with propulsion and other satellite subsystems.
  • Conduct vacuum chamber testing including thermal-vacuum, vibration, and endurance testing.
  • Modeling & Simulation

  • Use MATLAB / Simulink / Labview and equivalent tools to model satellite dynamics, plasma behavior, and validate control performance.
  • Circuit & Firmware Development

  • Collaborate with electronics engineers to design control circuits and develop firmware for microcontrollers and FPGAs.
  • Embedded Control Deployment

  • Generate embedded code from MATLAB / Simulink / Labview modules with careful resource optimization for space-qualified hardware.
  • Requirements

  • Education : M.Tech / M.Sc / PhD in Electronics, Control Systems, Mechatronics, Instrumentation, Robotics, Aerospace, Mechanical, or related fields.
  • Strong fundamentals and hands-on experience in control design, tuning, and implementation .
  • Proficiency in MATLAB / Simulink / Labview for control design and modeling.
  • Experience with plasma diagnostic instrumentation (e.g., probes, spectrometers, high-voltage / current sensing).
  • Familiarity with vacuum systems and instrumentation integration for plasma thruster testing.
  • Embedded systems experience (microcontrollers, real-time OS, FPGAs).
  • Knowledge of power electronics and converter systems (experience with power system design is highly desirable).
  • Exposure to space or defense system testing environments will be an added advantage.
  • Why Join Orbitt Space?

  • Pioneering Technology : Be part of building air-breathing electric propulsion system and satellites that operate at 200 km altitude .
  • Ownership & Impact : Experience true ownership across the full lifecycle of satellite technology in a deep-tech startup environment.
  • Equity + Competitive Salary : Along with a salary, you’ll receive ESOPs (equity ownership) — your work directly contributes to our collective success.
  • Growth in Deep-Tech Space : Work alongside a founding team of ex-ISRO engineers and team with decades of combined expertise in spacecraft power and propulsion.
  • Comprehensive Benefits : Private health insurance, annual health check-ups, and a fast-paced culture designed for growth.
  • If you are passionate about control engineering, plasma instrumentation, and building systems that will fly in space, this is your opportunity to redefine the future of satellites.
