At GalaxEye Space, we are pioneering the next generation of Earth observation solutions with our cutting-edge satellite technology. As a quick-growing space-tech startup, our mission is to revolutionise the way we gather, process, and deliver geospatial intelligence. In this journey, We are seeking a Senior 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.

Responsibilities

Technical leadership
Lead the structures team across the full mechanical and thermal scope of the SAR antenna: structural, thermal, thermal-structural, and energetic analysis and design.




Set and own the analysis approach and standards — modelling conventions, load-case definition, margin philosophy, and what constitutes a defensible result.
Make and defend the key architecture and design decisions: panel construction, material selection, interface and mounting design, and the thermal/structural trades that shape them.
Own the structural and thermal integrity of the antenna through the design lifecycle, from concept and hand-calculation studies to detailed FE and test correlation.

Analysis and design oversight
Review 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 energetic response.
Ensure 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.
