Role :

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 optomechanics, structural/thermal/dynamics analysis, build & alignment, environmental

testing (vibe/TVAC), and documentation—working closely with optics, detector/ROIC,

electronics, and systems engineering.

Responsibilities

• Design and analyze opto-mechanical assemblies for MSI payload subsystems

(lens/telescope, focal plane module, baffles, mounts, mechanisms if any).

• Manage optical-mechanical interfaces: alignment features, shimming strategy, tolerance

stack-ups, thermal focus stability, stray light baffle interfaces.

• Perform or lead simulations for static strength, thermal gradients, thermo-elastic

deformation, and focus/boresight stability.

• Assess thermal paths for vacuum conduction cooling; support heater/thermistor

placement and thermal straps.

• Execute modal, sine, and random vibration analysis; define and verify stiffness targets

and resonance margins.





• Own design for launch load survivability and optical alignment retention.

• Hands-on build of prototypes and engineering models; develop alignment and

integration procedures.

• Plan and execute optical-mechanical verification tests; support metrology,

collimator/goniometer/interferometer-based checks as needed.

• Lead mechanical aspects of vibration, shock (if applicable), and thermovac campaigns:

test readiness, fixtures, instrumentation, correlation vs models, NCR/RCA closure.

• Design test fixtures and support tooling (including whiffletree-style supports for large

optics where relevant), MGSE concepts, and alignment jigs.

• Produce and maintain drawings, GD&T;, BOMs, assembly instructions, tolerance reports,

test reports, and change logs.

Must-have Qualifications

• B.E./B.Tech/M.E. in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent).

• 2–4+ years hands-on opto-mechanical experience in preci
