## About Orbitt Space
Orbitt Space is pioneering satellite platforms for Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO), operating at altitudes of 180-250 km. Our propulsion-first approach enables sharper imagery, lower latency, and reduced launch costs while naturally mitigating space debris. We're building the future of space infrastructure from our headquarters in Ahmedabad, India.
### Role Overview
We are looking for a Embedded Firmware Engineer with deep expertise in DSP programming for power electronics to lead firmware development for our propulsion power systems.
You will design and optimize control algorithms, PWM generation, and closed-loop DSP firmware for high-voltage converter systems, enabling efficient plasma control and spacecraft stability.
### Key Responsibilities
* Architect, develop, and maintain firmware for TI C2000x DSPs (F2837xD, F28004x, etc.)
* Implement and tune closed-loop PID control for voltage and current regulation
* Design and manage PWM generation, ADC/DAC configuration, and interrupt-based control loops
* Develop bootloader firmware for modular and upgradable system architectures
* Simulate and validate control algorithms using MATLAB/Simulink
* Integrate and test firmware with power electronics hardware, performing real-time debugging and tuning
* Lead HIL testing, firmware validation, and safety feature implementation
* Collaborate with hardware and systems teams to ensure closed-loop stability and performance
* Mentor junior engineers in firmware design, control algorithms, and system integration
### Minimum Qualifications
* Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics & Communication, Instrumentation, or related field
* Minimum 6 years of hands-on experience in embedded firmware development for power electronics systems
* Proven experience with TI C2000x DSPs (e.g., F2837xD, F28004x series) for real-time control
* Strong proficiency in embedded C/C++, Code Composer Studio, and bootloader development
* Expertise in PWM generation, ADC/DAC interfacing, interrupt handling, and closed-loop PID control
* Solid foundation in control theory, digital compensator design, and signal processing
* Ability to design and implement real-time firmware architectures for converter control
* Hands-on experience with MATLAB/Simulink for control simulation and validation
* Excellent analytical, debugging, and hardware integration skills
### Preferred Experience
* Experience with ARM-based microcontrollers for system-level coordination
* Familiarity with FPGA-based PWM or protection logic (VHDL/Verilog)
* Experience with DC-DC converter control (buck, boost, resonant, full-bridge, or LLC)
* Hands-on experience in power electronics hardware testing, validation, and debugging
* Understanding of fault protection, telemetry, and system safety mechanisms
* Exposure to high-voltage or aerospace-qualified electronic systems
* Knowledge of communication protocols (SPI, UART, I2C, CAN)
* Experience working in cross-functional R&D environments involving hardware and control systems
