Systems Design Engineer (MSI)

We are seeking a Systems Design Engineer to support the development of a Multi-spectral Imaging (MSI) payload , working across system architecture, opto-mechanical design coordination, and electronics interfaces. This role is intended for an early-career engineer with strong fundamentals, sound engineering curiosity, and the willingness to learn quickly in a multidisciplinary hardware environment.

The position will involve close collaboration with optics, opto-mechanics, camera electronics, firmware/FPGA, integration, and testing teams. The engineer will support the translation of mission and payload requirements into practical subsystem definitions, interface understanding, design coordination, and verification activities.

This is a hands-on systems role suited to someone who is eager to learn, comfortable asking questions, and capable of independently working through technical problems with guidance from senior engineers.

1. Support system and subsystem design activities for the MSI payload across optics, opto-mechanics, electronics, and interfaces.
   
2. Assist in translating payload requirements into subsystem-level design inputs, interface definitions, and engineering documentation.
   
3. Work with optics and opto-mechanical teams to understand alignment, packaging, structural interfaces, tolerances, and integration constraints.
   
4. Support coordination with electronics teams to understand detector interfaces, control electronics, signal paths, power architecture, and basic embedded hardware concepts.
   
5. Contribute to system budgets, trade studies, and engineering analyses related to performance, packaging, interfaces, and integration.
   
6. Assist in preparing and maintaining technical documentation such as requirements notes, interface descriptions, design summaries, review material, and test support documents.
   
7. Participate in subsystem integration, lab bring-up, troubleshooting, and validation activities.
   
8. Support engineering reviews, design discussions, and follow-up actions across multidisciplinary teams.
   
9. Help identify design issues, interface gaps, and integration risks early, and escalate them appropriately.
   
10. Learn to evaluate technical trade-offs across optics, mechanics, electronics, and system-level requirements under the guidance of senior engineers.
    

1. Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Optical Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline.
   
2. 0–2 years of relevant experience in hardware systems, opto-mechanical systems, electronics, or related engineering development work.
   
3. Basic understanding of optics and opto-mechanical concepts, including structural packaging, mounting, alignment sensitivity, tolerances, and mechanical integration.
   
4. Basic understanding of electronics fundamentals.
   
5. Interest in multidisciplinary system development involving optics, mechanics, electronics, and integration.
   
6. Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, interface descriptions, and technical documentation.
   
7. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a willingness to learn by doing.
   
8. Good written and verbal communication skills.
   

1. Systems thinker with strong analytical and debugging skills.
   
2. Inclusive leader who can mentor a diverse, distributed team. Someone who can bring in the culture of ownership and responsibility to the team while by giving them technical and creative freedom with necessary guidance.
   
3. Clear, concise communicator who builds trust across hardware and software.
   
4. Ready to learn new concepts, stay up to date with the state-of-the-art in the field and implement them
   Ability to work within deadlines and dynamic projects.

1. Fair compensation will be provided as per market standards
   
2. Experience rapid growth and start-up culture
   
3. Flexible Working Hours
   
4. Open to exploring, discussing and implementing new ideas and processes
   
5. Opportunity to work closely with the Founding Team at GalaxEye
   
6. Get a chance to work with Advisors holding senior positions and decades of experience.
