We design our payloads and satellites in-house, from telescope to bus.\nThe role\nYou’ll own the composite structures that keep our electro-optical payloads stable in orbit: telescope structures, optical benches, baffles, and payload-to-bus interfaces, along with composite elements of the satellite structure. In an optical payload, a few microns of thermal distortion can ruin image quality, so your work directly determines what our satellites can see. You’ll take parts from concept through analysis, manufacturing with our vendors, and qualification testing.\nResponsibilities:\nDesign composite structures (CFRP laminates, sandwich panels, tubes, bonded joints, inserts) for optical payloads and spacecraft, with dimensional and thermo-elastic stability as primary drivers\nDefine laminate layups, materials, and processes to meet stiffness, strength, CTE, mass, and outgassing requirements\nPerform structural and thermo-elastic analysis (static, modal, random vibration, sine, shock, thermal distortion) and work with the optical and thermal teams to close the structural-thermal-optical loop\nManage manufacturing with composites vendors: tooling, layup, cure, machining, bonding, and inspection, including NDT\nPlan and support qualification and acceptance testing (vibration, shock, thermal vacuum, thermal cycling) and correlate analysis to test results\nWrite design documentation, manufacturing and inspection procedures, and analysis reports for design reviews\nRequirements\nSkills/Requirements:\nB.E./B.Tech/M.Tech/MS in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent\n5-8 years designing and analysing composite structures, ideally for space, aerospace, or defence hardware\nStrong grasp of laminate theory, composite failure criteria, and design of bonded joints and inserts\nHands-on experience with FEA tools (e.g. NASTRAN/Patran, Ansys ACP, HyperMesh, Abaqus) and CAD\nExperience taking composite parts through manufacturing, not just design and analysis\nFamiliarity with space environment requirements: outgassing (ASTM E595), moisture effects on dimensional stability, and thermal cycling\nProven history of managing complex, interdisciplinary manufacturing processes\nNice to have\nExperience in building composite structures for optical instruments or other high-stability applications\nExperience with high-modulus fibres (e.g. M55J) and near-zero-CTE layups\nExposure to ECSS or NASA structural standards and qualification test campaigns\nBackground with ISRO programmes or Indian space-qualified vendors\nBenefits\nFair compensation will be provided as per market standards\nExperience rapid growth and start-up culture\nFlexible Working Hours\nOpen to exploring, discussing and implementing new ideas and processes\nOpportunity to work closely with the Founding Team at GalaxEye\nGet a chance to work with Advisors holding senior positions and decades of experience","description_format":"text","description_chars":3191,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible
