Digantara is building the world’s first maps for space, Space-Mission Assurance Platform™ (Space-MAP™). Space-MAP™ represents a revolutionary end-to-end infrastructure for sustainable space operations, offering a comprehensive space situational awareness solution that simplifies and strengthens satellite operations in the face of the rapidly expanding commercialization of space.

Space-MAP™ is powered by accurate data gathered by advanced ground-based and space-based sensors. LiDARs will form an integral part of these space-based sensors, providing precise range information. FPGAs are crucial for carrying out onboard processing of the raw data from these sensors, extracting useful information, enabling real-time control, and facilitating decision-making.

Digantara is seeking an FPGA Engineer (Control Systems) to develop FPGA-based systems for controlling opto-electronic systems and performing real-time signal processing.

Why Us?

Competitive incentives, galvanising workspace, blazing team, frequent outings—pretty much everything that you have heard about a startup + you get to work on satellites.

Hustle in a well-funded startup that allows you to take charge of your responsibilities and create your own moonshot.

Ideal candidate

A person with experience building high-speed FPGA-based control systems for aerospace/space applications.

Responsibilities

• Develop FPGA designs for real-time control of multiple opto-electronic systems and high-speed signal processing.
