About ICEYE
ICEYE is the global leader in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite operations for Earth Observation, persistent monitoring, and natural catastrophe solutions, owning and operating the world's largest SAR constellation. Headquartered in Finland, we operate from five international locations with more than 600 employees from nearly 60 countries, inspired by the shared vision of improving life on Earth by becoming the global source of truth in Earth Observation.
Our satellites image the Earth at any time, even through cloud and darkness, giving commercial and government partners unmatched persistent monitoring capability. Teamwork, curiosity and having fun are core values at ICEYE, and they are what make the impossible possible.
About the Role
You will build and electrically verify the RF and avionics subsystems that go into every ICEYE satellite.
Working in our cleanroom production line, you take a kitted work order from the shelf, assemble the unit to controlled procedures, verify on the bench that it performs to specification, and hand a fully traceable, flight-ready subsystem to the satellite integration line.
If you enjoy breadth, want to understand how a whole satellite goes together rather than one corner of it, and like the idea of genuinely owning every unit that leaves your bench, this is the role. You will work day to day alongside AIT Engineering, Quality and the Integration team.
What You Will Do
Assemble both avionics and RF subsystems to detailed, controlled work instructions, moving between product families as the production plan requires
Perform electrical verification of the units you build, using our verification toolbox, bench power supplies, multimeters and unit-specific test setups
Cross-train across the full subsystem set and progress through our competence matrix towards independent sign-off on each unit type
Read and interpret schematics, wiring diagrams, assembly drawings and parts lists to confirm correct build configuration
Carry out peer visual inspection of assemblies and share findings constructively with your colleagues
Identify non-conformances, raise clear and well-evidenced reports, and support engineering with fault-finding and root-cause investigation
Handle connectors, coaxial assemblies and harnesses to the required torque, mating and cleanliness standards
Maintain full traceability by completing work orders, updating tickets, applying verification labelling and capturing photographic evidence
Deliver verified subsystems to the integration line to support the satellite production plan
Work consistently to cleanroom, ESD and FOD control standards
Contribute to procedure improvements and continuous improvement initiatives
What You Will Bring
Required
Bachelors & Masters in electronics, electrical engineering, mechatronics, or an equivalent technical field
2+ years of experience in electronic or electro-mechanical assembly, integration, or hardware test
Confident use of basic test equipment such as multimeters and bench power supplies
Ability to read, interpret and follow controlled documentation, including schematics and wiring diagrams
Strong manual dexterity and attention to detail when handling precision, static-sensitive hardware
Understanding of ESD-safe working practices
Willingness to travel across Europe.
Willingness to work across both avionics and RF hardware, and to keep learning new unit types as our satellites evolve. We do not expect you to arrive with both, but we do expect appetite for the breadth
Proficient English, written and spoken
Nice to have
Experience with RF hardware: coaxial connectors, cable assemblies, transmitters and receivers, or RF test equipment
Experience working in a cleanroom or other controlled production environment
Familiarity with IPC-A-610, IPC/WHMA-A-620 or ECSS workmanship standards
FMEA, 6S & Quality standards
Comfort with scripted or automated test tooling and a Linux command line
Familiarity with Jira, Confluence and an ERP/MRP system such as NetSuite
Background in aerospace, space, defence, medical devices or other high-reliability manufacturing
What Is In It for You
A job that matters, in a dynamic Earth Observation environment with a scale-up approach
An independent role in a supportive and diverse work environment
Occupational healthcare and accident insurance
A yearly benefit budget to spend as you wish (sport, transport, bike benefit, wellness, lunch and more)
Phone subscription with the iPhone of your choice
Time for self-development, research, training, conferences and certification schemes
Inspiring collaborative offices and quiet workspaces
A wide variety of the best coffee, tea, snacks and sweets to accompany your daily space mission
