GalaxEye aims to shape the future of Satellite Image Acquisition, providing the most meaningful datasets, thus helping businesses and governments make data-driven decisions based on insights from satellite imagery. We design and build advanced remote-sensing satellites and develop value-added services for geospatial analytics and infrastructure customers.
We are seeking a highly motivated Thermal Design Engineer to lead the thermal design, analysis, and validation of a space-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) payload. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing thermal control solutions that ensure the payload operates within specified temperature limits throughout all mission phases, including launch, commissioning, nominal operation, eclipse, and end-of-life conditions.

The role involves designing passive and active thermal control systems, performing thermal analyses, supporting environmental testing, and collaborating with structural, mechanical, RF, electronics, systems, and mission engineers to deliver a reliable, flight-qualified payload.

Key Responsibilities :




Develop the thermal architecture for the SAR payload to ensure compliance with mission and instrument thermal requirements.
Perform thermal analysis for all mission phases, including launch, ascent, orbital operation, eclipse, survival, and secure modes.
Design passive thermal control systems, including multilayer insulation (MLI), thermal coatings, thermal straps, radiators, and conductive interfaces.
Evaluate the need for active thermal control systems such as heaters, and temperature control electronics.
Develop detailed thermal mathematical models (TMM) of the SAR payload and associated subsystems.
Perform steady-state and transient thermal simulations to evaluate payload performance under expected orbital environments.
Analyse thermal interfaces between payload components, spacecraft bus, and supporting structures.
Support thermal design optimization to minimize temperature gradi
