About GalaxEye

GalaxEye is building the world’s first OptoSAR LEO Earth observation satellites that combine multispectral optical and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging on a single platform, delivering all-weather, day-and-night imagery to governments, infrastructure enterprises, and geospatial analytics companies. We design our payloads and satellites in-house, from telescope to bus.

The role

As a part of the satellite's C&DH Team, you will be the backbone of every electrical and electronic system like Electrical Power Systems, Data Acquisition Boards, On-Board Computer etc. This position requires someone comfortable with all aspects of embedded firmware development, that thrives in a wide-ranging multi-functional organisation, is not afraid to debate ideas openly, and is flexible enough to shift on constantly evolving requirements.

Responsibilities:

1. Understanding system/functional requirements, breaking it down into software requirements.
   
2. Responsible for development of Software architectures with the team
   
3. Design and Implement algorithms using minimal memory and cycles with rigid real time deadlines
   
4. Build validation framework for validation of implemented algorithms
   
5. Creating Software Detailed Design documentation.
   
6. Code implementation in C/Python ( As per the layered architecture ).
   
7. Performing Static Analysis, Unit Testing, and Integration Testing.
   
8. Responsible for the evaluation of third-party software, debugging field issues, and involving peer reviews
   
9. Guide a team of people on Software development practices
   
10. Bring on CI/CD processes for software reliability testing
    

Requirements

Requirements:

Essential

1. B.Tech, BS, MS or PhD in EE/CE/CS, or the equivalent in experience with evidence of exceptional ability.
   
2. 5+ years of professional working experience in developing mission critical embedded firmware and software peripherals
   
3. Experience with design and implementation of bare metal control firmware which is highly optimised for cycles and memory
   
4. Deep understanding of the difference between design for a software platform and a highly constrained firmware environment
   
5. Understanding of the use of data structures for deterministic and efficient reads and writes
   
6. Understanding of parallel or SIMD programming.
   
7. Fundamental facility with C and C++, compilers, build & source code control tools.
   
8. Working knowledge of RTOS-based systems
   
9. Solid understanding of computer architecture with emphasis on HW/SW interfaces for high speed communication.
   
10. Proficiency debugging and bring-up of embedded systems. Familiarity with UARTs, JTAG, and oscilloscopes.
    
11. Working knowledge of low-level drivers for microcontrollers (ADC, PWM, GPIO, Timers, RTC, Flash, EEPROM, etc.)
    
12. Experience with emulation systems, build automation, and virtual platforms.
    
13. Strong debugging and analytical skills, verification and validation of embedded systems
    
14. Knowhow of using Lab equipments (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analysers, etc).
    

Good to Have

1. Knowledge of Agile/Scrum Methodology.
   
2. Experience in UML Designing.
   
3. Experience with scripting languages like Python or Perl.
   
4. Knack for designing layered/modular architectures.
   
5. Experience in mechatronics / robotics / avionics systems would be a big plus
   

Personality Traits:
