Systems Design Engineer (MSI)

We are seeking a Systems Design Engineer to support the

development of a Multi-spectral

Imaging (MSI) payload , working across

system architecture, opto-mechanical design coordination, and

electronics interfaces. This role is intended for an

early-career engineer with strong fundamentals, sound

engineering curiosity, and the willingness to learn quickly in

a multidisciplinary hardware environment.

The position will

involve close collaboration with optics, opto-mechanics,

camera electronics, firmware/FPGA, integration, and testing

teams. The engineer will support the translation of mission

and payload requirements into practical subsystem definitions,

interface understanding, design coordination, and verification activities.

This is a hands-on

systems role suited to someone who is eager to learn,

comfortable asking questions, and capable of independently

working through technical problems with guidance from senior engineers.

Key Responsibilities

• Support system and subsystem design activities for the MSI payload

  across optics, opto-mechanics, electronics, and interfaces.

• Assist in translating payload requirements into subsystem-level design

  inputs, interface definitions, and engineering documentation.

• Work with optics and opto-mechanical teams to understand alignment,

  packaging, structural interfaces, tolerances, and integration constraints.

• Support coordination with electronics teams to understand detector

  interfaces, control electronics, signal paths, power architecture, and basic

  embedded hardware concepts.

• Contribute to system budgets, trade studies, and engineering analyses

  related to performance, packaging, interfaces, and integration.

• Assist in preparing and maintaining technical documentation such as

  requirements notes, interface descriptions, design summaries, review material,

  and test support documents.

• Participate in subsystem integration, lab bring-up, troubleshooting, and

  validation activities.

• Support engineering reviews, design discussions, and follow-up actions

  across multidisciplinary teams.

• Help identify design issues, interface gaps, and integration risks

  early, and escalate them appropriately.

• Learn to evaluate technical trade-offs across optics, mechanics,

  electronics, and system-level requirements under the guidance of senior

  engineers.

Requirements

Must Haves

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Optical Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline.
• 0-2 years of relevant experience in hardware systems, opto-mechanical systems, electronics, or related engineering development work.
• Basic understanding of optics and opto-mechanical concepts, including structural packaging, mounting, alignment sensitivity, tolerances, and mechanical integration.
• Basic understanding of electronics fundamentals.
• Interest in multidisciplinary system development involving optics, mechanics, electronics, and integration.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, interface descriptions, and technical documentation.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a willingness to learn by doing.
• Good written and verbal communication skills.

Traits We Value

• Systems

  thinker with strong analytical and debugging skills.

• Inclusive

  leader who can mentor a diverse, distributed team. Someone who can bring in the

  culture of ownership and responsibility to the team while by giving them

  technical and creative freedom with necessary guidance.

• Clear,

  concise communicator who builds trust across hardware and software.

• Ready

  to learn new concepts, stay up to date with the state-of-the-art in the field

  and implement them Ability

  to work within deadlines and dynamic projects.

Benefits

• Fair compensation will be provided as per market standards
• Experience rapid growth and start-up culture
• Flexible Working Hours
• Open to exploring, discussing and implementing new ideas and processes
• Opportunity to work closely with the Founding Team at GalaxEye
• Get a chance to work with Advisors holding senior positions and decades of experience.
