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.
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.
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.
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.
