AOCS Engineer

Title: AOCS Engineer

Industry: Space Technology

Location: Ahmedabad 

Role Type: Full-time

Experience: 2-4 Years
 

About the Role:
We are looking for an AOCS Engineer to work with our ADCS and flight dynamics engineers on a SAR satellite constellation. You will work on real subsystem problems for a spacecraft being built and flown, under the guidance of a mentor, and see your analysis feed into actual design and test decisions.

What You Will Work On:

• Build and refine ADCS simulations in MATLAB or Python, including sensor and actuator models and control mode behaviour
• Analyse ADCS hardware test data and vendor documentation, and flag limitations or anomalies
• Run orbit propagation and attitude pointing studies relevant to SAR imaging geometry
• Assess how attitude and orbit knowledge errors affect SAR data quality
• Support ADCS integration and testing activities alongside the AIT and Systems teams
• Document your methods and results so the team can reuse them

Eligibility:

• B.Tech, M.Tech or equivalent degree in aerospace, mechanical, electrical or a related field
• 2-4 years of relevant work experience
• Coursework in spacecraft attitude dynamics, control systems or orbit mechanics
• Working knowledge of MATLAB or Python

Nice to Have:

• University CubeSat or small satellite project experience
• Experience with STK, GMAT, Orekit or similar mission analysis tools
• Familiarity with state estimation (Kalman filtering, residual analysis)
• Interest in SAR or EO missions, GNSS-based orbit determination, or propulsion and attitude interactions

Attitude:

• Comfortable working between theory and hardware reality
• Curious, and keen to build understanding from first principles
• Clear communicator who can explain results to non-specialists

What You Will Gain:
Hands-on experience on a real satellite programme, direct mentorship from the ADCS team, and a project you can own and present at the end of the internship.
