As a leader in Space Surveillance and Intelligence, we deliver real-time, actionable insights to ensure secure and sustainable use of Earth’s orbits. Our cutting-edge platform integrates advanced space-based detection, tracking, and monitoring to provide unparalleled domain awareness across all orbital regimes. At the cutting edge of this technology, Digantara is building hardware and mission-critical software. But behind every successful team is an invisible engine that keeps projects moving with clarity, speed, and precision.\nWe are seeking an Optomechanical Engineer to join our team in the development of space-based and ground-based imaging instruments, including advanced telescopes and scientific camera systems. The ideal candidate will possess the ability to drive designs from initial concept through to manufacturing, integration, testing, and deployment. The role also requires meticulous documentation, quality control, and collaboration with vendors and cross-functional technical teams.\nWhy Us:\nBe part of a collaborative and innovative environment where your ideas and skills make a real difference to the entire space realm.\n\nPush the boundaries with hands-on experience, greater responsibilities, and rapid career advancement.\n\nCompetitive incentives, a galvanizing workspace, and a blazing team-pretty much everything you have heard about a startup.\n\nIdeal Candidate:\nHas designed and delivered optomechanical mechanisms using a mix of classical analysis and simulation.\n\nCan interpret system error budgets and apply tolerance/sensitivity analysis.\n\nIs adept at cross-functional collaboration and technical communication.\n\nHas successfully completed at least one full-fledged project.\n\nResponsibilities:\nDevelop innovative optomechanical designs for telescope systems and high-precision optical assemblies for both terrestrial and space applications.\n\nCollaborate closely with optical, mechanical, electronics, thermal, and systems engineering teams to define project requirements and design constraints, ensuring the mechanical and optical integration meets stringent mission objectives.\n\nPerform feasibility studies and technical risk assessments, including sensitivity, tolerance, and deformation analysis under operational and environmental loads such as gravity, vibration, and thermal cycling.\n\nUtilize CAD software to create detailed models, mechanical layouts, assembly drawings, and technical documentation. (Proficiency in specific tools such as SolidWorks, NX, or similar is valued but not strictly required.)\n\nConduct structural and thermal FEA as part of optomechanical trade studies, with hands-on experience in Ansys, Nastran, or related simulation tools considered an asset.\n\nSelect components, materials, and manufacturing processes that ensure robust, reliable, and thermally stable mounting of precision optics in extreme operating environments.\n\nDevelop procedures for optical alignment, system assembly, and systematic verification testing at both subsystem and system levels.\n\nManage vendor relationships and coordinate the fabrication, procurement, and quality inspection of optomechanical components.\n\nEngage in prototyping, integration, and iterative testing to refine designs, troubleshoot issues, and validate optical and mechanical performance before commissioning and flight/deployment.\n\nPrepare and maintain technical reports, interface control documents, assembly/test procedures, and comprehensive design specifications.\n\nQualifications:\nBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline.\n\n5-10 years’ experience in optomechanical design for high-precision instrumentation, including telescopes, laser systems, or scientific cameras. Experience in both space-mission and ground-instrument contexts is highly desirable.(role will be assigned according to experience)\n\nStrong proficiency in mechanical design principles, structural mechanics, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).\n\nDemonstrated experience in classical mechanics calculations (free-body diagrams, hand calculations, etc.).\n\nExperience with industry-standard FEA software for static structural analysis (e.g., Ansys, Nastran, NX Femap).\n\nWorking knowledge of thermal management and its impact on optical performance (a strong advantage).\n\nFamiliarity with metrology/alignment techniques and best practices for optical assemblies.\n\nExcellent documentation, report writing, and design review skills.\n\nPreferred Qualities:\nHands-on experience generating precise manufacturing drawings and release documentation.\n\nKnowledge of machining processes, advanced materials (e.g., composites, low CTE alloys), and space-qualified components.\n\nFamiliarity with optical system performance metrics and integration/testing under laboratory and operational conditions.\n\nGood knowledge of quality control, inspection methods, and technical supplier evaluation.\n\nGeneral Requirements:\nAbility to work in a mission-focused, operational environment.\n\nAbility to think critically and make independent decisions.\n\nInterpersonal skills to enable working in a diverse and dynamic team.\n\nMaintain a regular and predictable work schedule.\n\nWriting and delivering technical documents and briefings.\n\nVerbal and written communication skills, as well as organizational skills.\n\nTravel occasionally as necessary.\n\nJob Location: Hebbal, Bengaluru","description_format":"text","description_chars":5436,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Satellite Manufacturing","Earth Observation"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T07:23:25Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/digantara-opto-mechanical-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/digantara-opto-mechanical-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T20:34:09Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4636,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1970},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1970"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdigantara-opto-mechanical-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdigantara-opto-mechanical-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdigantara-opto-mechanical-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/digantara-opto-mechanical-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdigantara-opto-mechanical-engineer"}]}
