Role
Join our Satellite Structures team as a Structural Design Intern. You’ll support the design,
analysis, and integration of lightweight aerospace structures, contributing to the robustness
and manufacturability of GalaxEye’s satellites.
Responsibilities
● Assist in structural design, CAD modeling, and preliminary sizing.
● Support FEA simulations (static, dynamic, vibration) under guidance.
● Contribute to payload enclosure and satellite structure optimization.
● Prepare engineering drawings, documentation, and reports.
● Collaborate with cross-functional teams for design compatibility.
● Participate in integration and environmental testing activities.
Requirements
Must-have Qualifications
● Final-year student (4th year) or recent graduate in Mechanical, Aerospace or related domains.
● Strong foundation in mechanics of materials, structural dynamics, and fatigue
analysis.
● Proficiency in CAD tools, specifically SolidWorks.
● Exposure to FEA software (Simcenter Nastran, ANSYS, Abaqus, or equivalent) is a
plus.
● Strong communication and teamwork skills.
Good-to-have
● Prior project or internship experience in structural design/analysis.
● Experience as part of student project teams (SAE, Aero Design, Robotics,
CubeSat, Formula Student).
● Knowledge of aerospace materials and manufacturing processes (machining,
composites, bonding).
● Familiarity with GD&T and drawing standards.
● Interest in aerospace qualification standards and testing methods.
What We Look For
● Curiosity and eagerness to learn beyond textbooks.
● Adaptability to fast-paced start-up environments.
● Ownership mindset and initiative.
● Strong problem-solving skills and willingness to experiment.
● Passion for aerospace and enthusiasm to contribute to real-world satellite missions.
Benefits
● Fair compensation aligned with market standards.
● Experience rapid growth in a start-up culture.
● Flexible working hours.
● Opportunity to work closely with the Founding Team.
● Mentorship from advisors with decades of experience.
