Join a Next-Gen Space Startup in Maharashtra

“ We are a fast-growing, deep-tech space startup based in Maharashtra, working on cutting-

edge Free-Space Optical (FSO) communication systems and other advanced space technologies.

Backed by leading venture capital firms and top research organizations, we are pushing the

boundaries of what's possible in terrestrial and space-based optical communications. We’re

looking for you!

We're Hiring Across the Following Roles:

 FPGA Design & Development

 Develop custom FPGA cores for laser/optical communication systems

 Implement and test RTL hardware using VHDL/Verilog

 Work on Zynq SoCs, custom IP blocks, and system integration

 Perform digital signal processing of sensor data

 Contribute to system-level design and hardware bring-up

 Experience with simulation tools and hardware validation preferred

 Control Systems Engineering

 Design real-time control software for optical imaging, beam steering, and tracking

 Implement closed-loop control algorithms (PID, Kalman filtering) in embedded C

 Optimize control loops for robustness and latency

 Conduct lab testing with sensors, actuators, and beam steering assemblies

 Collaborate with FPGA, optics, and embedded hardware teams

 Embedded Systems

 Program mission-critical embedded systems (RTOS, C/C++, ARM)

 Integrate IMUs, cameras, sensors, and high-speed comms

 Interface with FPGA and control systems for low-latency applications

 Experience with real-time debugging, system profiling, and communication stacks

 Optical Fiber / Free-Space Communication Engineer

 Design and develop optical links for terrestrial and space-based FSO communication

 Work with free-space optics, fiber optics, beam expanders, and laser systems

 Integrate optical and electronic components into robust communication subsystems

 Experience with optical alignment, link budget analysis, and environmental testing

preferred

 Optical Design Engineer (Zemax)

 Use Zemax (or equivalent) for modeling, simulation, and tolerance analysis of optical

systems

 Design lenses, imaging assemblies, beam-shaping optics, and collimators

 Work closely with opto-mechanical, electronics, and laser subsystems for integration

 Experience in aerospace or high-precision optical instrumentation is a plus

 Adaptive Optics Engineer

 Architect wavefront sensing and real-time correction systems

 Integrate deformable mirrors, spatial light modulators, and custom control pipelines

 Analyze and optimize system performance under various atmospheric or mechanical

disturbances

 Collaborate with control systems and optical design teams to ensure end-to-end

performance

 Why Join Us?

 Work on groundbreaking satellite and space tech projects

 Experience startup agility while solving deep-tech challenges

 Collaborative environment with top engineers and scientists

 Opportunity to shape the future of India's advanced space capabilities ”
