Opto-Mechanical Design Engineer

Work with the brightest minds, including ex-ISRO scientists and global space industry experts, at one of the select few companies in the country pioneering cutting edge EO payloads.

Seeking an Optomechanical Engineer to design, develop, and optimize mechanical configurations and interfaces for advanced Optical payloads, collaborating with cross-functional teams to create and test innovative payload systems for Earth observation in Low Earth Orbit.

About KaleidEO

KaleidEO, a subsidiary of SatSure, is an upstream leader in Earth Observation, building a full-stack company from India.

As an analytics-first payload innovator, we focus on building next-gen payloads tailored for industry-specific applications.

Our high-resolution, optical, multispectral payloads, equipped with edge computing and wide coverage capabilities, maximize the value generated from every pixel of satellite imagery.

Rooted in SatSure’s legacy of delivering last-mile applications across sectors like Utilities, Aviation, Agriculture, BFSI and Climate Action, KaleidEO offers modular solutions for the entire EO value chain spanning payload development, launch, mission operations, and data analytics

At KaleidEO, we are committed to shaping the future of Earth Observation and putting Indian space tech on a global map, and we invite you to be part of this exciting journey.

Role and Responsibilities :

• As an Optomechanical engineer at KaleidEO, you will be designing, developing, and optimizing mechanical configurations and interfaces for complex optical payloads to be used for earth observation.
• It will require a close working relationship with optical engineers, satellite / payload system engineers, and other stakeholders to design, build, and test new complex payload systems for use in Low Earth Orbit.
• Manage mechanical work packages, producing schedules, resource estimates, and design development plans.
• Design opto-mechanical systems using appropriate tools from initial design concept to detailed final design.
• Perform FEA of mechanical systems oriented to determine frequency response, mechanical stresses, and deformations due to dynamic forces and loads, including thermal load cases.
• Drive and maintain the mechanical alignment budget at the system level.
• Derive build and test procedures for the payload along with the optical designer and AIT engineers / partners. Derive calibration procedures for the assembly.
• Research and select COTS / custom materials and parts appropriate for the design,create and manage payload-level BoMs and contribute to interface controls documents.
• Review possible layouts / orientations to optimize design elements. Design, assemble, and test mechanical parts including ground support equipment for lab testing on imager prototypes and flight models.
• Produce / manage the production of manufacturing drawings to enable the designs to be manufactured and support manufacturing processes.
• Maintain a design log, summarising each step in the design, and development process. Present in design reviews.
• Work with cross-functional global teams with external stakeholders.
