Electronics Engineer - Avionics

Who We Are

ICEYE delivers space-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to governments and allied nations. This includes sovereign and turnkey ISR missions leveraging ICEYE’s world-leading synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite technology, as well as access to data from the world’s largest SAR satellite constellation. These capabilities enable partners to detect and respond to critical changes anywhere on Earth with unprecedented speed and accuracy – day or night and in any weather, supported by ultra high-resolution imagery and high-frequency revisits.

As a trusted partner for defense, intelligence, security, and maritime domain awareness, ICEYE’s near real-time data creates a tactical advantage for mission-critical operations. Designed for dual use, the platform also serves civil protection and commercial users for natural-catastrophe intelligence, insurance, maritime monitoring (including oil-spill detection), and finance, contributing to global security and community resilience.

ICEYE operates internationally with offices in Finland, Poland, Spain, Japan, the UAE, Greece, and the US. The company has more than 900 employees, inspired by the shared vision of improving life on Earth by becoming the global source of truth in Earth Observation.

Why this role?

ICEYE designs, builds, and operates the world’s largest commercial SAR satellite constellation — and our electronics are the heartbeat of every satellite we launch. As an Electronics Engineer, you’ll play a key role in designing, developing, and validating the mixed-signal electronics that power our space missions.

You’ll work hands-on with high-reliability satellite electronics, contributing to products that operate in some of the most demanding environments imaginable. This role offers the opportunity to deepen your technical expertise, collaborate closely with experienced engineers across disciplines, and see your designs fly in orbit.

To support the company’s growth, we continue to scale our Avionics Team and are looking for an Electronics Engineer to join our global Spacecraft Engineering Department.

About the role?

As an Electronics Engineer (Avionics) you will:

• Design, develop, test, and support high-reliability mixed-signal electronics for satellite systems.
• Contribute to board-level hardware design from schematic capture and PCB layout through bring-up, validation, and qualification testing.
• Perform laboratory measurements and system-level testing to verify performance and reliability.
• Support component selection, system design decisions, and trade-offs with a focus on quality, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Investigate and resolve issues encountered during development, manufacturing, testing, or on-orbit operation.
• Create and maintain clear technical documentation to support development, testing, and production.
• Collaborate closely with systems, software, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to deliver robust hardware solutions.
• Continuously improve engineering practices and contribute ideas to advance ICEYE’s electronics platform.

High quality electronics are an extremely important part of our satellites. The key element of your work is to verify that all the decisions are supporting that goal, all the way from component selections to system design and  the qualification of the whole unit.

You will be responsible for the design of our products, testing,  documenting, and solving the possible issues happening during the development process, manufacturing, or later at the orbit.

Requirements

• 3–7+ years of experience in electronics engineering in a fast-paced development environment. Experience in embedded, aerospace, or mission-critical systems is a plus.
• Experience with board-level hardware design, including schematics, PCB layout, bring-up, and validation.
• Solid understanding of analog and digital electronics and mixed-signal design principles.
• Hands-on experience with laboratory measurements and test equipment (e.g. oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, spectrum analyzers).
• Ability to debug board- and system-level issues using structured root-cause analysis.
• Experience working collaboratively in cross-functional engineering teams.
• Awareness of design trade-offs involving performance, reliability, cost, and manufacturability.
• Clear and effective communication skills in English, both written and spoken.
• Ability to work independently on assigned tasks while contributing positively to team goals.
• Comfortable working in a multicultural, international environment.

In addition to the role specific requirements, we appreciate

• BSc or MSc degree in Electrical or Electronics Engineering (or similar).
• Experience contributing to complex hardware development projects.
• Familiarity with Python or scripting in a Linux environment.
• Knowledge of:
• System-level grounding
• EMI/EMC fundamentals
• PLM systems
• Experience or interest in the aerospace industry.
• Understanding of space-specific design challenges such as radiation, thermal behavior, and continuous operation.

Benefits

• A job that matters in a dynamic Defence Technology and Earth Observation environment with a scale-up approach
• An independent role with a supportive and diverse work environment
• Occupational healthcare, occupational, and accident insurance
• A yearly benefit budget to spend as you wish (i.e. on sport, transport, bike benefit, wellness, lunch, etc.)
• Phone subscription with iPhone of choice 
• Relocation support (i.e. flight tickets, accommodation, relocation agency support)
• Time for self-development, research, training, conferences, or certification schemes
• Inspiring and collaborating offices and silent workspaces enable you to focus
