Our team is responsible for the optomechanical design, integration, and validation of the FINCH Eye payload. We design the structure that precisely positions the payload between the satellite rails and ensure it survives the realities of spaceflight—like intense launch vibrations and accelerations and thermal conditions once on orbit.
If you’re interested in 3D modelling, mechanical or optomechanical design, FEA, or collaborating with a team of crack engineering students, this is the place to be.

Effective W26, recruitment for Opto-Mechanical is open and rolling to all students, at all skill levels. Whether you’re brand new to CAD or deep into simulations, there’s room to contribute and grow.
Onboarding is standardized during our Fall and Winter recruitment cycles to ensure everyone builds the same strong technical foundation. For members who join outside these cycles, onboarding is tailored to the team’s current projects—so you can jump in quickly and start making real contributions right away.
If you’re curious, motivated, and ready to learn, we’d love to have you: please message @San Vo (via Slack, [email protected])
