Job description

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 specialize in building next-generation, high-resolution, multispectral payloads with edge computing and wide coverage capabilities.

Rooted in SatSure’s legacy of building applications across sectors like Utilities, Agriculture, Aviation, BFSI, and Climate Action, KaleidEO also provides end-to-end EO solutions—from payload development and launch to mission operations and data analytics.

We are looking for a Mechanical Engineering Intern to support the design, configuration analysis and documentation of structures and ground support systems.

This role is ideal for a student or recent graduate who is curious about precision mechanical design and analysis of space systems and wants hands-on exposure to real engineering workflows used in satellite payload development.

You will work closely with mechanical and systems engineers and gain experience across design, analysis, documentation, and reviews.

Responsibilities

Assist in mechanical design and detailing of satellite payload structures, optical mounts, enclosures, electronic packages, and Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (MGSE).
Support CAD modeling and drawings for parts and assemblies.
Assist in the documentation of configurations and analysis results.
Help with optical support structure and testing concepts.
Assist in documentation:
1. Design notes
2. Analysis summaries
3. Test and review support material (PDR/DDR level)
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (optics, electronics, systems).

Qualifications

Currently pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering / Aerospace Engineering.
Strong fundamentals in:
1. Engineering mechanics
2. Strength of materials
3. Basic structural analysis

Preferred Skills

Exposure to CAD and FEA tools (NX Simcenter or HyperMesh).
Interest in or coursework related to:
1. Space systems
2. Opto-mechanical design
3. Precision structures
Basic understanding of:
- Modal behavior
- Vibration environments
- Thermal effects on structures
Familiarity with Python or MATLAB for basic analysis or post-processing.
Prior academic or hobby projects related to satellites, robotics, optics, or mechanisms.
Basic understanding of Finite Element Method (FEM) concepts.
Comfortable with engineering drawings and dimensions.
Willingness to learn, ask questions, and iterate.

What’s in it for you:

Hands-on experience with real satellite hardware design workflows.
Exposure to opto-mechanical engineering challenges (alignment, stiffness vs flexibility, thermal effects).
Understanding of space qualification environments (launch loads, vibration, thermal).
Mentorship from experienced engineers.
Opportunity to contribute meaningfully to an active engineering program.

Who Should Apply

This role is well-suited for someone who:
Enjoys problem-solving and structured engineering thinking
Is curious about how optical performance and mechanical design interact
Wants exposure to space hardware development, even if they’re still learning the tools
