We design and build advanced remote-sensing satellites and develop value-added services for geospatial analytics and infrastructure customers.\n Team & Culture:\nYou’ll join a tight, multidisciplinary payload group that owns the MSI instrument end-to-end: mission-driven requirements, optical/opto-mechanical design, camera + control electronics, firmware/FPGA, and hands-on integration & testing. We operate like a true startup engineering squad direct communication, rapid problem-solving, and shared ownership. Decisions are made with a systems mindset, and plans turn into hardware quickly. Expect deep collaboration with data, business, and spacecraft teams as we mature the payload from prototype to flight-ready hardware.\n\nRole :\n You will own opto-mechanical design, analysis, integration, and qualification of a Multispectral Imager (MSI) payload for space applications. This is a hands-on role spanning precision opto-mechanics, structural/thermal/dynamics analysis, build & alignment, environmental testing (vibe/TVAC), and documentation -working closely with optics, detector/ROIC, electronics, and systems engineering.\nResponsibilities\nDesign and analyze opto-mechanical assemblies for MSI payload subsystems (lens/telescope, focal plane module, baffles, mounts, mechanisms if any).\n\nManage optical-mechanical interfaces: alignment features, shimming strategy, tolerance stack-ups, thermal focus stability, stray light baffle interfaces.\n\nPerform or lead simulations for static strength, thermal gradients, thermo-elastic deformation, and focus/boresight stability.\n\nAssess thermal paths for vacuum conduction cooling; support heater/thermistor placement and thermal straps.\n\nExecute modal, sine, and random vibration analysis; define and verify stiffness targets and resonance margins.\n\nOwn design for launch load survivability and optical alignment retention.\n\nHands-on build of prototypes and engineering models; develop alignment and integration procedures.\n\nPlan and execute optical-mechanical verification tests; support metrology, collimator/goniometer/interferometer-based checks as needed.\n\nLead mechanical aspects of vibration, shock (if applicable), and thermovac campaigns: test readiness, fixtures, instrumentation, correlation vs models, NCR/RCA closure.\n\nDesign test fixtures and support tooling (including whiffletree-style supports for large optics where relevant), MGSE concepts, and alignment jigs.\n\nProduce and maintain drawings, GD&T, BOMs, assembly instructions, tolerance reports, test reports, and change logs.\n\nMust-have Qualifications\nB.E./B.Tech/M.E. in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent).\n\n2-4+ years hands-on opto-mechanical experience in precision mechanisms or EO/IR payloads (space/defense/industrial imaging acceptable).\n\nStrong SolidWorks or NASTRAN (or equivalent CAD): complex assemblies, sheet metal, drawings, configurations.\n\nWorking knowledge of optical alignment and tolerancing methods(CTE effects, stability, mounts, kinematic design concepts).\n\nAbility to do structural + thermal analysis (ANSYS / NASTRAN / similar) and interpret results for design decisions.\n\nExperience supporting integration & environmental tests (vibe and/or TVAC strongly preferred).\n\nBe the SME for the Opto Mechanical design, create AIT and execute AIT test plans for building payloads and TVAC, Vibration testing with space garage testing. \n\nGood engineering discipline: documentation, review readiness, systematic debugging and Systems thinking.\n\nGood-to-have\nExperience with hyperspectral / multispectral cameras, star sensors, telescope/periscope structures.\n\nThermal design for vacuum: conductive cooling, thermal straps, heater control concepts, contamination-aware design.\n\nFamiliarity with space materials and processes: anodize, passivation, bonding/adhesives, torque specs, locking features.\n\nExperience designing MGSE / alignment tooling; metrology experience.\n\nUnderstanding of ECSS/NASA design review expectations and FMEA/FTA exposure.\n\nWhat we look for :\nComfortable owning problems end-to-end: design → analysis → build → test → fix → document.\n\nBias for action and practical engineering judgment (trade-offs: mass, stiffness, thermal stability, manufacturability).\n\nClear communicator who can work tightly with optics/electronics/systems.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4504,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Space & Aerospace","Earth Observation"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-03T17:02:56Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.704,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":15,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:mid","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-19T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/galaxeye-space-opto-mechanical-engineer-msi","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/galaxeye-space-opto-mechanical-engineer-msi.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-19T09:47:49Z","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":6903,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-20T00:00:00Z"}},"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":59381},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=59381"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgalaxeye-space-opto-mechanical-engineer-msi"},{"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%2Fgalaxeye-space-opto-mechanical-engineer-msi"},{"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%2Fgalaxeye-space-opto-mechanical-engineer-msi"},{"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/galaxeye-space-opto-mechanical-engineer-msi\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgalaxeye-space-opto-mechanical-engineer-msi"}]}
