[{"Salary":null , "Posting_Title":"Space Optical Payload AIT Lead" , "Is_Locked":false , "City":"Banglore North","Industry":"Space Technology","Job_Description":"

Role Purpose Lead the controlled assembly, integration, verification and environmental-test readiness of a flight optical payload from precision optical/mechanical subassemblies through telescopeCamera integration, payload characterization and delivery.
The role owns AIT execution, technical readiness, configuration traceability, test evidence and anomaly closure for a high-performance Earth-observation imaging instrument.

About the Team You join a tight, multidisciplinary payload group that owns the MSI instrument end-to-end: mission-driven requirements, optical/opto-mechanical design, camera + control electronics, firmware/FPGA, and hands-on integration testing. We operate like a true startup engineering squad: direct communication, rapid problem-solving, and shared ownership. Decisions are made with a systems mindset, and plans turn into hardware quickly. Expect deep collaboration with data, business,



and spacecraft teams as we mature the payload from prototype to flight-ready hardware.

This is a energetic, hands-on role. Priorities, interfaces and test plans will evolve as hardware and programme maturity advance. The successful candidate is adaptable, calm under pressure, comfortable moving between detailed shop-floor execution and system-level decision-making, and able to create practical structure without slowing development momentum.

Key Responsibilities - Own the payload AIT plan, integration flow, verification matrix, test schedule, resource/GSE readiness and risk register.
- Lead optical and opto-mechanical assembly, precision alignment, shimming, bonding, torque-controlled installation, cleanliness control and as-built metrology.
- Lead AIT of the payload to Satellite structure with high precision.
- Lead telescope and camera performance verification: wavefront/interferometry, focus, boresi
