Avionics Engineer – Satellite Payload Electronics

About the role

The engineer will be responsible for translating payload requirements into electronics architecture, selecting components, designing digital/analog/power circuits and interfaces, supporting PCB realization, integrating the hardware with payload sensors/processors and validating the design through board-level and system-level testing.

What you'll do

• Derive payload-electronics hardware requirements from system, FPGA/processor, power and spacecraft-bus requirements
• Develop payload electronics architecture covering power conditioning, processing/control electronics, data acquisition, memory, external interfaces
• Design analog, digital and mixed-signal circuits including ADC/DAC interfaces, clock, signal conditioning and housekeeping telemetry
• Design power trees, DC-DC/LDO stages, sequencing, protection, current/voltage monitoring and grounding schemes for payload electronics
• Select electronic components based on electrical performance and other factors and prepare schematics, component calculations, interface definitions

What you need

• 2–4 yrs of experience
• Circuit design
• Embedded C
• PCB design
• FPGA
• Instrumentation
• Troubleshooting
• B.Tech or B.E. or M.Tech

Good to have

• MATLAB
• Python
• FMEA
