As a fast-growing space-tech startup, our mission is to revolutionise the way we gather, process, and deliver geospatial intelligence. In this journey, We are seeking aSenior Mechanical Engineer to lead the design, analysis, and validation of structures for phased array antenna systems for a space-borne SAR mission, from concept through flight qualification. The role requires to lead the structures team across both mechanical and thermal disciplines, set the technical direction, own the analysis and design standards, and act as a mentor and technical guide to a team of mid- and junior-level engineers. Join us to become a part of an agile, high-impact team working at the forefront of space innovation.\nResponsibilities\nTechnical leadership\nLead the structures team across the full mechanical and thermal scope of the SAR antenna: structural, thermal, thermal-structural, and dynamic analysis and design.\nSet and own the analysis approach and standards - modelling conventions, load-case definition, margin philosophy, and what constitutes a defensible result.\nMake and defend the key architecture and design decisions: panel construction, material selection, interface and mounting design, and the thermal/structural trades that shape them.\nOwn the structural and thermal integrity of the antenna through the design lifecycle, from concept and hand-calculation studies to detailed FE and test correlation.\nAnalysis and design oversight\nReview and direct thermal, structural, and coupled thermal-structural analyses - transient TRM burst loads, orbital cyclic thermal environments, CTE-mismatch and bonded-interface problems, modal and dynamic response.\nEnsure FE results are backed by first-order reasoning; challenge model outputs that aren't physical and set the expectation that analysis is validated, not just produced.\nGuide idealisation choices (element selection, rigid vs. flexible bodies, contact and connection modelling) and their implications for both thermal and structural fidelity.\nOwn verification strategy - analysis, test, and correlation - and the associated documentation for design reviews.\nLeadership and mentorship\nAct as technical mentor and guide to mid- and junior-level thermal and structural engineers - grow their judgement, not just their tool skills.\nPlan and allocate analysis work across the team, balance workload, and hold technical quality.\nRepresent the structures discipline in multidisciplinary reviews and interfaces with RF, manufacturing, systems, and the customer.\nContribute to proposals, planning, and capability-building for the team.\nRequirements\nBachelor's or Master's (Master's or higher preferred) in Mechanical, Aerospace, or related discipline.\n10+ years of mechanical/structural engineering experience, with substantial spacecraft, aerospace, or defence content.\nDemonstrated breadth across both structural and thermal engineering - not solely one or the other - with the depth to lead and review both.\nStrong track record of ownership: leading the structural/thermal design of hardware from concept through to verification.\nDeep grounding in structural mechanics and heat transfer fundamentals, and the ability to reason from first principles and back up FE with hand calculations.\nExtensive FE experience - Simcenter 3D / Nastran, ANSYS, or equivalent - across structural, thermal, thermal-structural, and dynamic analysis.\nProven experience mentoring engineers and leading technical teams or work packages.\nExcellent technical communication - able to defend decisions in reviews and explain them to non-specialists.\nBenefits\nOpportunity to own the antenna architecture for an advanced spaceborne SAR mission from first principles through flight qualification.\nWork in a multidisciplinary team spanning RF, digital, thermal, mechanical, and systems engineering oncutting-edgespace technology.\nOpportunity to contribute to cutting-edge space missions.\nCollaborative, multidisciplinary engineering environment","description_format":"text","description_chars":4102,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"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":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":31,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-09T06:01:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/galaxeye-space-sr-mechanical-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/galaxeye-space-sr-mechanical-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-10T01:16:09Z","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","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2159,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":2841,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-11T00:00:00Z"}},"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-sr-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%2Fgalaxeye-space-sr-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%2Fgalaxeye-space-sr-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/galaxeye-space-sr-mechanical-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgalaxeye-space-sr-mechanical-engineer"}]}
