Intern - Mechanical Systems Engineering

Digantara is building the world’s first maps for space, Space-Mission Assurance Platform™ (Space-MAP™). Space-MAP™ represents a revolutionary end-to-end infrastructure for sustainable space operations, offering a comprehensive space situational awareness (SSA) solution that simplifies and strengthens satellite operations in the face of the rapidly expanding commercialization of space.

Space-MAP™ is powered by space surveillance & tracking data gathered by advanced ground-based and space-based telescopes.

Digantara is seeking a motivated Mechanical Intern to assist in the design and development of mechanical and opto-mechanical systems for our cutting-edge mechanical systems for ground and space-based applications. As a new graduate, you will work alongside experienced engineers to:

• Support Design Efforts: Contribute to the design of mechanical and opto-mechanical systems, focusing on Space Surveillance Telescopes.
• Learn and Apply Simulations: Use mechanical simulations to help validate the performance of these designs.
• Collaborate and Grow: Work with a team of skilled engineers to gain hands-on experience and develop your skills in mechanical engineering.

Why us?

• Competitive incentives, galvanizing workspace, blazing team, frequent outings—pretty much everything that you have heard about a startup, plus more of the satellite/rocket stuff—perhaps handling a satellite or leaning on a rocket.
• Hustle in a well-funded startup with a flat hierarchy that allows you to take charge of your responsibilities and create your own moonshot.

We are ideally looking for candidates who:

• Have a Strong Foundation in Mechanical Engineering: A basic understanding of mechanical systems, with coursework or projects involving R&D is a plus.
• Are Eager to Learn and Grow: Willingness to develop skills in designing mechanical systems for space applications.
• Possess Analytical Abilities: Basic knowledge of finite element analysis and calculations.
• Are Team-Oriented: Ability to collaborate effectively with others and contribute to a team environment.
• Have Enthusiasm for the Field: Passion for space technology and telescope systems, with a keen interest in applying mechanical engineering principles to innovative projects.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree (B.E/B.Tech) in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.

Requirements:

• Basic CAD Skills: Familiarity with CAD software such as SolidWorks, or similar tools for geometry preparation.
• Simulation Tools: Some experience or coursework with simulation tools like ANSYS, Nastran, SolidWorks, or COMSOL is a plus but not mandatory.
