We are looking for a Ground Station Engineer to design, deploy, and maintain satellite communication infrastructure across our global network. You’ll work on satellite tracking systems, radio interfaces, signal processing pipelines, and ensure reliable uplink/downlink with our spacecraft. This role offers hands-on development across hardware, software, and RF layers.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain automated ground stations for satellite telemetry, tracking, and control (TT&C).
  
• Configure radio interfaces (UHF/VHF/S/X-band), modems, and TNCs for telemetry and telecommand.
  
• Design, test, and integrate antenna rotator controllers for auto-tracking satellites.
  
• Work with software-defined radios for dynamic communication tasks.
  
• Deploy and manage ground station software.
  
• Build scalable data routing systems for real-time and store-and-forward communication using cloud APIs.
  
• Coordinate with the avionics and mission ops teams for satellite pass predictions and data ingestion.
  
• Develop dashboards for real-time telemetry visualization.
  

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Electronics, Telecommunications, Aerospace, or related field.
  
• 2–5 years of experience in ground station operations, RF communication, or satellite systems.
  
• Hands-on experience with radio hardware.
  
• Proficient in C++, Python, Linux, scripting, and working with serial/UART, TCP/IP interfaces.
  
• Solid understanding of link budgets, Doppler shift compensation, and signal modulation.
  
• Experience in setting up antennas, feedlines, and LNA/PA systems.
  
• Experience in using orbital prediction tools like GPredict, TLE processing, or predict.
  

Nice to Have (Preferred):

• Familiarity with ITU/IARU frequency coordination, satellite licensing, and spectrum usage planning.
  
• Experience with MERN stack ground station dashboards or API integrations.
  
• Experience setting up remote ground stations and managing satellite pass scheduling.
  

Additional Requirements:

• Passion for space, satellites, and ground segment technologies.
  

• Self-driven and willing to learn continuously.
  

• Willingness to relocate as per the needs of the mission or organization.
