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: • Design notes • Analysis summaries • 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: • Engineering mechanics • Strength of materials • Basic structural analysis Preferred Skills • Exposure to CAD and FEA tools (NX Simcenter or HyperMesh). • Interest in or coursework related to: • Space systems • Opto-mechanical design • 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 Selection Process Resume shortlisting Technical interview Additional Details Duration: 3-6 months Location: Bangalore
