About SuperSharp

Super-Sharp Space Systems is an Earth-imaging company developing unfolding space telescopes to capture high-resolution thermal infrared (TIR) images of the earth. Our technology allows us to fit a large telescope in a small box, making low-cost, high-resolution, and frequent Earth-imaging possible. This makes powerful TIR space telescopes much more affordable while achieving 10x greater resolution than the current state-of-the-art solutions. The images captured by our space telescopes can be used for applications such as tackling climate change, crop monitoring, and maintaining global security. We are determined to offer high-quality affordable Earth-imaging solutions to empower our world in responding to global change.

We are seeking a Senior FEA & Thermal Engineer to lead advanced structural and thermal analysis efforts across mission-critical hardware.

Role Overview

This position is responsible for developing, executing, and validating structural and thermal models to support the design, test, and operation of space systems. The ideal candidate will have a proven background in spacecraft analysis, strong technical judgment, and the ability to interface across design, systems, and test engineering functions.

Key Responsibilities

Lead structural and thermal analysis efforts, including model development, validation, and optimization to ensure space hardware meets performance and safety standards.
