I will point out very clearly , the paths that can be taken to become an actual Scientist at ISRO.
So before, going into the paths, we need to know our destination clearly. ISRO as an organisation has many embedded child organisations in it with very different motives and goals. Some of them are National Remote sensing centre, Space Applications centre, Liquid propulsion systems centre , SDSC, VSSC and many more. Please refer to my answer here about various centres coming under ISRO.
Now as you have seen , all of them are very very different centres and have people who specialize in various domains. The place I work at is NRSC, where we deal with the data which satellite sends, once it is in orbit. We process it, sell it, make applications out of it and cater to public. We sell the data , to any customers for their multi-domain uses. Similarly, SAC makes the payload for the satellites and a lot of other research goes there.
So the main work , which i just described is laid down by the management , in the hierarchy. ( Chairman - Director - Deputy Directors - Group directors - Group Heads - Managers ) In consultation with various experts , they formulate a goal to be reached and as the hierarchy goes down , people get more into implementation. So, all the above posts in management I said are mostly occupied by people of cadre, Scientist / Engineer.
So, the basic thing here is, There are no narrowed down positions of scientists. Every one has a dual role, Scientist / Engineer and rightly so. If you have invented a technique, you must also play a role in its effective implementation.
Now , The management is very high up the cadre. The main core of the work is done by foot soldiers, just as in any other organisation. The foot soldiers for ISRO are Group - 1 officers which it recruits through its own exam called ICRB ( or recruitment through Indian Institute of Space science and Tech, where I hail from ). So, Entry level scientist post is Pay Level - 10 ( IAS entry cadre ) , Scientist/Engineer ‘SC ‘. Once you join as ‘SC’ ( Btech/Msc -depends on requirement ) You grow in cadre through hard work to ‘SD’ , ‘SE’ through promotions each at a minimum gap of 4 years. These 3 are mostly the roles of implementation of the vision /goal.
From ‘SE’ you grow to ‘SF’ where a flair of management is added to your post and you get to a commandable position ( roughly after 12–15 years after your joining). From here you climb up in management, where you can create a real impact.
Also , there are some recruitments directly to ‘SD’ for PhD candidates , and 2 year ‘SC’ instances for Post grads. So it all depends on the position you’re applying for.
Research carefully about the Job that you will be doing, once you join. Apply only if you are passionate. Because every one is not going to see stars, people have to press buttons as well. :)
