Azista space is a transformative force in the global aerospace sector, uniquely positioned at the intersection of indigenous innovation and industrial scalability. Operating India's first private-sector satellite mass-production facility in Ahmedabad, we have bridged the gap between complex engineering and high-volume manufacturing.
As a vertically integrated leader, we provide end-to-end solutions from the precision design of satellite buses and advanced payloads to mission management and communication systems. We don't just build hardware, we are democratizing the final frontier by providing global clientele with the cost-effective, high-performance technology needed to power the next generation of orbital missions. At Azista, you won't just be starting a job, you'll be fuelling the future of space exploration.
About the Role:
As a Satellite Attitude Determination & Control Systems (ADCS) Engineer, you will play a critical role in designing, developing, and validating advanced spacecraft guidance, navigation, and control systems that enable precise satellite operations in orbit.
Working alongside multidisciplinary teams of aerospace, avionics, software, and systems engineers, you will contribute to cutting-edge satellite programs from concept development through testing and mission readiness. This is an excellent opportunity for early-career engineers passionate about space technology, control systems, orbital mechanics, and autonomous spacecraft operations.
At Azista Space, you won't just build satellites—you'll help make space more accessible, scalable, and impactful for customers around the world.
Roles & Responsibilities:
- Develop and validate Attitude and Orbit Control System (AOCS/ADCS) simulations for satellite missions.
- Design, implement, and optimize spacecraft Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC) algorithms for precision attitude determination and control.
- Develop advanced estimation techniques, including Kalman Filters (KF/EKF) and state estimation algorithms.
- Build and validate spacecraft guidance solutions for attitude maneuvering, target acquisition, payload pointing, and mission-specific operations.
- Develop onboard flight software and embedded control applications using C/C++.
- Create system models and perform simulation-based verification using MATLAB, Simulink, and Python.
- Execute and support Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing activities.
- Analyze performance data, troubleshoot control-system behavior, and improve algorithm robustness.
- Collaborate with avionics, software, systems, and mission engineering teams throughout the spacecraft development lifecycle.
- Prepare technical reports, test documentation, verification records, and engineering analyses.
Required Qualifications & Skills:
