About GalaxEye

GalaxEye is building the world’s first OptoSAR LEO Earth observation satellites that combine multispectral optical and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging on a single platform, delivering all-weather, day-and-night imagery to governments, infrastructure enterprises, and geospatial analytics companies. We design our payloads and satellites in-house, from telescope to bus.

The role

You’ll own the composite structures that keep our electro-optical payloads secure in orbit: telescope structures, optical benches, baffles, and payload-to-bus interfaces, along with composite elements of the satellite structure. In an optical payload, a few microns of thermal distortion can ruin image quality, so your work directly determines what our satellites can see. You’ll take parts from concept through analysis, manufacturing with our vendors, and qualification testing.

Responsibilities:

• Design composite structures (CFRP laminates, sandwich panels, tubes, bonded joints, inserts) for optical payloads and spacecraft, with dimensional and thermo-elastic stability as primary drivers





• Define laminate layups, materials, and processes to meet stiffness, strength, CTE, mass, and outgassing requirements

• Perform structural and thermo-elastic analysis (static, modal, random vibration, sine, shock, thermal distortion) and work with the optical and thermal teams to close the structural-thermal-optical loop

• Manage manufacturing with composites vendors: tooling, layup, cure, machining, bonding, and inspection, including NDT

• Plan and support qualification and acceptance testing (vibration, shock, thermal vacuum, thermal cycling) and correlate analysis to test results

• Write design documentation, manufacturing and inspection procedures, and analysis reports for design reviews

Requirements
Skills/Requirements:

• B.E./B.Tech/M.Tech/MS in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent

• 5–8 years designing and analysing composite structures, ideally for space
