Mission Design Engineer

Job Description
GalaxEye aims to shape the future of remote-sensing, providing the most meaningful dataset, thus helping businesses and governments make data-driven decisions based on insights from satellite imagery. We will provide Satellite Imagery Datasets, and Value added services to Geospatial Analytics Companies and Infrastructure enterprises. At GalaxEye, we are working to build the best remote-sensing technologies and researching various aspects of remote sensing.

Role Description :-
As a part of our Mission Design and Planning Team, you will be involved in evangelising various space missions starting starting with World's first Multisensor satellite including a SAR and a Multispectral imager . This role will contribute towards the development of Mission Design Software and Ground Segment Software that will be responsible for designing, analyzing, monitoring, controlling and coordinating activities of our satellite constellation. Own R&D to mature our mission software—develop, benchmark, and operationalize new methods that measurably improve accuracy and performance for Mission Operations.

Requirements
Education: B.Tech/B.E./MS in Aerospace Engineering.

Strong command of orbital mechanics, mission analysis, and satellite operations concepts.

Proficient in Python for scientific computing; able to turn equations into correct, efficient, well-tested code (scripts/notebooks + tests).

Experience with mission design/orbit simulation tools or libraries (e.g., STK, GMAT, ODTK, FreeFlyer, Orekit/Nyx or equivalents).

Familiarity with Rust or C++ for modeling/analysis is a plus.

Ability to define and track performance metrics and benchmarks to ensure high-quality delivery.

Methodical, organized problem-solving with clear technical communication and version control (Git).

Working knowledge of numerical optimization and control concepts relevant to planning and operations; exposure to estimation/filtering is a plus.

Responsibilities :-
Simulate and model satellite and orbital dynamics for diverse mission scenarios.

Design constellation concepts for GalaxEye and evaluate incoming constellation proposals.

Develop software and tooling that support mission design, mission operations, and mission optimization—with clear, defensible prototypes in Python.

Run system-level studies of satellite and subsystem behavior in space to maximize constellation utility.

Translate design specifications into modular, maintainable, well-tested code.

Deliver work from concept through implementation and testing; collaborate with the platform team for integration and deployment.

Collaborate with internal teams and relevant external partners to secure data, validate results, and ensure smooth project execution.

Design rigorous experiments, benchmark multiple approaches, and present quantitative trade-offs (accuracy, runtime, robustness).

Advance modules through TRL/maturity stages with validation datasets, regression tests, and concise documentation.

Contribute software used by the Mission Control Center for planning, tasking, scheduling, and monitoring—engineered for reliability and zero planned downtime.

Benefits
Fair compensation will be provided as per market standards

Experience rapid growth and start-up culture
