About Catalyx Space:

We’re building AWS for space—providing in-space experiments and tech demos across LEO, deep space, and lunar orbit. Our offerings include unmanned labs, testbeds for rideshare and dedicated missions, and re-entry capsules for payload return. We simplify access with end-to-end solutions, no minimum mass limits, zero integration fees, and fast deployment (≤6 months), serving biopharma, semiconductors, materials science, defense, and more.

Role:

Design, develop, and qualify spacecraft avionics hardware end-to-end—taking designs from concept through schematics, PCB layout, testing, qualification, and flight readiness—while ensuring compliance with space standards and mission requirements.

What you’ll do:

Design schematics for OBC, EPS, communications, ADCS, and payload interfaces.
Develop, simulate, and validate power regulation, signal-conditioning, and digital/analog interfaces.
Own PCB lifecycle: schematic capture, layout, component selection, BOM, and documentation.
Perform FMECA and worst-case analysis on all designed hardware.

Minimum qualifications:

Nice to have:

FPGA/CPLD design and hardware-software co-design.
Familiarity with ECSS/NASA/IPC

standards for space hardware.
System-level avionics integration and bring-up.
CubeSat/smallsat avionics experience.
CAD exposure (SolidWorks/Fusion 360) for board-mechanical integration.

Compensation & benefits:

Competitive salary (details will be shared with shortlisted candidates),
health insurance
Provident fund.

How to apply:

Apply via Zoho Recruit: https://catalyxspace.zohorecruit.in/jobs/Careers/193193000000349923/Hardware-Design-Engineer?source=CareerSite

We only contact candidates from @catalyx.space

emails.

No fees are required at any stage of our hiring process.

Equal Opportunity:

Catalyx Space is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on any protected characteristic.

Procure components (space-grade/Hi-Rel), manage vendor qualification, and track availability.

Run internal/cross-functional design reviews against mission & system requirements.

Collaborate with mechanical/thermal teams for board integration into spacecraft structure.

Create test procedures; validate via functional, TVAC, vibration, and EMI/EMC testing.

Interface with software teams for hardware-software co-design and integration.

Maintain complete design, test, and results documentation for traceability and mission heritage.

B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in ECE/EE/Avionics (or equivalent experience).

2–6 years designing hardware for aerospace/defense/embedded systems.

Strong digital/analog design, microcontrollers, and sensor interfaces.

Hands-on with Altium/KiCad/OrCAD/Cadence Allegro

Circuit simulation with LTspice/PSpice

(or equivalent).

EMI/EMC, grounding, and signal-integrity best practices.

Knowledge of space-grade/radiation-tolerant parts, derating, and reliability analysis.

Proficiency with FMECA

, worst-case analysis, and component reliability assessment.

Lab instrumentation: oscilloscopes, logic/spectrum analyzers, power supplies.

Strong documentation and configuration-control discipline.
