Full description
We are looking for a System Modeling Engineer to design, build, and maintain models of complex space/aerospace systems. You will work closely with systems engineering, mission design, software, and operations teams to create models that support design trade studies, performance analysis, simulations, and operational decision-making.
You’ll be responsible for translating real-world subsystem behavior (e.g. power, thermal, ADCS, communications, propulsion, payload) into digital models that are accurate, maintainable, and well-integrated with our existing tool-chain and data sources.
Key Responsibilities:
•
System & Subsystem Modeling
• Develop end-to-end models of spacecraft / aerospace system behavior (power budgets, data budgets, thermal, ADCS, COMMS, mission timelines, etc.).
• Build and maintain parametric models for key subsystems to support trade-offs and architecture decisions.
• Integrate telemetry / flight data to calibrate and validate models.
•
Simulation & Analysis
• Set up and run simulations to evaluate performance under different scenarios (nominal, degraded, and failure modes).
• Support mission analysis (coverage, visibility, link margins, duty cycles, consumables usage).
• Perform sensitivity, Monte Carlo, and worst-case analyses to understand margins and risks.
•
Tooling & Automation
• Develop reusable modelling components, scripts, and tools in environments such as Python, MATLAB/Simulink, Modelica, or similar.
• Connect models with databases and tools (e.g. telemetry DBs, digital twin / monitoring systems, configuration management).
• Help define interfaces so models can be used by other teams (APIs, config files, parameter sets).
•
Requirements & Verification Support
• Translate system-level requirements into model assumptions, parameters, and test cases.
• Use modelling results to demonstrate requirement compliance and support verification activities.
• Contribute to design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, ORR, etc.) with clear visualizations and model-based evidence.
•
Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Work closely with systems engineers, software engineers, operations, and mission planners to ensure models reflect reality and are usable day-to-day.
• Document modelling approaches, assumptions, and limitations in a way that non-experts can understand.
• Provide modelling support during on-orbit operations and anomaly investigations.
Requirements
Required Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related field.
• 1–3 years of experience in system modelling, simulation, or system analysis (space, aerospace, automotive, or similar complex systems).
• Strong proficiency in at least one modelling/simulation environment, e.g.:
• Python (NumPy, SciPy, pandas, PyMC, custom simulation frameworks)
• MATLAB / Simulink
• NVIDIA Omniverse
• Modelica or similar tools
• Solid understanding of systems engineering concepts: requirements, interfaces, margins, trade-off analysis, verification & validation.
• Experience working with real data: telemetry, lab test data, or flight/operational data.
• Ability to clearly communicate technical results through plots, reports, and presentations.
Preferred / Nice-to-Have:
• Experience with spacecraft systems (EPS, OBC, ADCS, COMMS, payload, propulsion, thermal).
• Experience building or contributing to a digital twin or model-based monitoring / alerting system.
• Familiarity with PostgreSQL or other relational databases and integrating models with live or historical telemetry.
• Knowledge of FastAPI, REST APIs, or microservice architectures for exposing model outputs.
• Experience with probabilistic modelling and uncertainty quantification.
• Familiarity with SysML or other model-based systems engineering (MBSE) tools.
• Experience working in an agile, cross-functional product or mission team.
Soft Skills:
• Strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills; comfortable dealing with incomplete or noisy data.
• Ability to work independently, but also collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams.
• Clear written and verbal communication; able to explain complex models to non-modelling experts.
• Curious, detail-oriented, and comfortable iterating quickly based on feedback and real-world results.
Benefits
What We Offer:
• Competitive Compensation: A package that reflects your skills and experience
• Hands‑On Learning: Direct collaboration with our founding team on cutting‑edge projects
• Impactful Work: Play a central role in shaping India’s first miniaturized SAR+EO constellation
• Comprehensive Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your family
• Innovative Culture: A dynamic, fast‑paced environment where fresh ideas are welcomed
