Who are we?
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. ICEYE is headquartered in Finland and operates 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 acquire images of Earth at any time – even when it’s cloudy or dark – providing commercial and government partners with unmatched persistent monitoring capabilities. Information derived from our SAR images helps customers make data-driven decisions to address time-critical challenges in various sectors, such as maritime, disaster management, insurance, and finance.
Our team is a tight-knit group of experts across many disciplines (e.g., engineering, software development, radar technology, etc.). We’re innovative, driven people who strive for excellence in everything we do. Teamwork, curiosity, and having fun are core values at ICEYE, and contribute to Making the Impossible possible!!
Why should you work for us?
ICEYE is at the cutting edge of new technology and we are continuing to build and operate our commercial constellation of SAR satellites. Working with ICEYE, you will be part of making the impossible possible, whilst shaping the Earth Observation industry. You will work with varied, diverse and engaged colleagues to further the ICEYE mission. At ICEYE we realise that without great people we can not succeed, therefore you will be an integral, valued and appreciated colleague, with the ability to directly shape the vision and direction of the business.
We actively support Continuous Professional Development, and will provide access to a range of avenues to allow you to succeed, including courses, training and attendance at conferences. ICEYE is a place where your development, your growth and your success is a priority.
What will you do in this role?
As a Senior Satellite Production Engineer, you will play a key role in the fast-paced, innovative world of satellite production, driving the transition of designs from early-stage R&D into scalable, high-quality manufacturing processes. You will bridge the gap between teams developing cutting-edge satellite technologies and the production line, ensuring that designs move seamlessly into production environments that can support repeated manufacturing with rigorous test coverage.
This role is crucial for ensuring that PCBAs, mechanical parts, and system integration processes are both efficient and reliable, providing the technical leadership necessary to maintain high standards while supporting the dynamic nature of the New Space industry. You will work on small satellites and similar platforms, with a focus on rapid prototyping and the iterative improvements required to succeed in this industry.
Your expertise in transitioning verification and assembly procedures, typically developed with R&D and prototype purposes in mind, will be essential for transforming these into detailed, productized workflows. You’ll also drive innovation in production automation, using your programming skills in Python, to ensure that the process remains agile, scalable, and highly adaptable.
