Job description

GALAXEYE SPACE SOLUTIONS PRIVATE LIMITED | Full time

Banglorenorth, India | Posted on 07/22/2026

At GalaxEye Space, we are pioneering the next generation ofEarth observation solutions with our cutting-edge satellite technology. As a fast-growing space-tech startup, our mission is to revolutionize the way we gather, process, and deliver geospatial intelligence. Join us to become a part of an agile, high-impact team working at the forefront of space innovation.

PCB Design Engineer | 3+ years experience

Role & Responsibilities

• Component Placement Optimization: Strategy-drivenplacement of components considering signal flow, thermal dissipation,mechanical constraints (keepouts, height restrictions), and ease of rework.
• Multilayer Stackup Design: Configuring layer stackups(typically 4 to 8+ layers), selecting dielectric materials, and determiningappropriate plane splits for power and ground returns.
• Routing Implementation: Executing controlledimpedance routing for high-speed interfaces (e.g., USB 3.0, DDR3/4, PCIe,Ethernet), differential pairs, and heavy-current power paths.
• Constraint Management: Setting up and managingadvanced design rules (clearances, trace widths, length matching, differentialpair routing rules) within the ECAD environment.
• DFM / DFA / DFT Compliance: Standardizing designs to meet manufacturer capabilities. This includes checking for minimum trace/space,aspect ratios, annular ring sizes, component spacing for pick-and-placemachines, and placing test points for ICT (In-Circuit Testing).
• Footprint & Library Management: Creating,validating, and maintaining standard-compliant (IPC-7351) schematic symbols and PCB footprints, ensuring correct pad sizes, pin pitches, and 3D models.
• Fabrication Output Generation: Generating andverifying comprehensive manufacturing packages, including Gerber files (orODB++), Excellon drill files, Bill of Materials (BOM), Pick-and-Place data, and assembly drawings.
• Tools: Proficiency in at least one major ECAD suite(Altium Designer, KiCad, Cadence Allegro, or Mentor Expedition).
• Standards: Good working knowledge of IPC standards(IPC-2221 for generic design, IPC-7351 for footprints, etc.).
• Fabrication Knowledge: Understanding of PCBmanufacturing processes (HASL vs ENIG finishes, via plugging/tenting, blind/buried vias).

Requirements

• Any technical diploma / degree
• 3+ years of experience on Altium

What We Offer

• Fair Compensation in line with current marketstandards.
• Start-up Culture: Be part of a high-growth,innovation-driven team.
• Flexible Working Hours to support work-life balance.
• Open Culture: Freedom to explore, propose, andimplement new ideas and processes.
• Leadership Exposure: Opportunity to work directly withthe Founding Team at GalaxEye.
• Industry Mentorship: Work with advisors and mentorsholding senior positions and decades of industry experience.
