PierSight
This role involves designing spacecraft primary and secondary structures, translating mechanical and interface requirements into practical structural designs, and owning detailed 3D CAD models and engineering drawings. The position requires performing structural sizing, collaborating with analysis teams, and supporting manufacturing, testing, and integration activities for flight hardware. The ideal candidate will mentor junior engineers and drive the resolution of structural anomalies and design challenges.
PierSight designs and builds mission-specific synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems — including a constellation of SAR + AIS satellites (Varuna) for persistent maritime surveillance and a drone-agnostic foliage-penetrating SAR payload (Vidura) for defense and tactical reconnaissance. Their systems deliver persistent, all-weather, day-and-night intelligence for use cases such as EEZ monitoring, IUU fishing detection, oil spill detection, counter-insurgency, and cross-border surveillance. PierSight serves defence agencies, government operators, and commercial customers including shipping companies, maritime insurers, and fisheries managers.
