Instrumentation and Control Engineer

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.
