Full Description

Digantara is a leading Space Surveillance and Intelligence  company focused on ensuring orbital safety and sustainability. With expertise in space-based detection, tracking, identification, and monitoring, Digantara provides comprehensive domain awareness across regimes, allowing end users to have actionable intelligence on a single platform. At the core of its infrastructure lies a sophisticated integration of hardware and software capabilities aligned

with the key principles of situational awareness: perception (data collection), comprehension (data processing), and prediction (analytics). This holistic approach empowers Digantara to monitor all Resident Space Objects (RSOs) in orbit, fostering comprehensive domain awareness.

WHY US

  • Competitive incentives, galvanizing workspace, blazing team, frequent outings—pretty much everything you have heard about a startup + you get to work on space technology.

  • Hustle in a well-funded startup allowing you to take charge of your responsibilities and create your moonshot.

IDEAL CANDIDATE

A final-year student or recent graduate in electronics or a related discipline who writes decent Python, has actually built and debugged hardware, and wants to learn spacecraft test by working directly alongside the engineers running it. Six-month, full-time, on-site internship in the integration and test lab.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Support the test engineer and checkout system lead in day-to-day campaign

activity: test setup and teardown, configuration changes between test phases, and running assigned test cases under supervision.

  • Record test results against the written procedure, maintain as-run records, and flag out-of-limit or unexpected results promptly rather than filing them.

  • Process captured test data - parsing, plotting, limit checking - and prepare data packs and draft sections for test reports and acceptance evidence.

  • Develop and maintain Python scripts for data handling, log processing, and test content within the checkout platform, to requirements defined and reviewed by the test engineer.

*** Maintain test documentation and traceability:** procedure revisions, test logs, GSE configuration records, and the link between each run, its setup, and its result.

  • Build, label, and continuity-check test cables, breakout wiring, and simple GSE fixtures, including basic soldering and rework.

*** Support lab readiness:** instrument configuration, calibration status checks, ESD-safe workstation upkeep, and equipment logging.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor's/Master's degree in Electronics/Electrical/Instrumentation, or a relevant technical discipline.

  • Working proficiency in Python, including file handling and data processing.

  • Practical familiarity with lab equipment i.e., oscilloscopes, power supplies, digital multimeters, and function generators.

  • Understanding of data communication protocols SPI, I2C, UART, and RS422/485 at a fundamental level.

  • Basic soldering ability and willingness to develop hands-on hardware skills.

  • Ability to follow a written procedure exactly and record results clearly and honestly, including results that do not match expectation.

  • Attention to detail in documentation and record-keeping.

  • Available for a full-time, six-month, on-site internship.

PREFERRED SKILLS

  • Academic, hobby, or competition project involving hardware bring-up, embedded systems, CubeSats, rocketry, or robotics.

  • Exposure to PyVISA, SCPI instrument control, LabVIEW, TestStand, or any commercial test automation framework.

  • Exposure to serial protocol decoding, checksums or CRCs, or packet parsing.

  • Familiarity with version control (Git).

  • Exposure to CAN, LVDS, or Ethernet interfaces.

  • Awareness of ESD control and cleanroom protocols.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

  • Ability to work in a mission-focused, operational environment.

  • Willingness to ask early rather than guess, particularly around flight hardware.

  • Ability to take direction from multiple engineers and keep tasks and priorities visible.

  • Interpersonal skills to enable working in a diverse and dynamic team.

  • Maintain a regular and predictable work schedule.

  • Verbal and written communications skills as well as organizational skills.
