Structures Intern

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.
