The Mission of the Satellite Production Specialist, Avionics

Ensure reliable, high-quality satellite electronics through hands-on testing and qualification.

As a Production Engineer, you enable ICEYE’s satellites to perform as designed by validating, testing, and troubleshooting electronics throughout production and qualification. Your work ensures that hardware meets technical, quality, and reliability requirements before integration and launch.

You collaborate closely with production, AIT, quality, and design teams, turning test results and failures into clear actions that improve product robustness, manufacturability, and production efficiency.

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.
