The Mission of the Electronics Test Engineer

We’re looking for an Electronics Test Engineer to help us scale our Team as we develop the next generations of our satellites. In this role, you’ll be deeply involved in qualifying new technologies before they enter production, designing test plans and test equipment, and supporting our Assembly, Integration & Testing (AIT) activities.

You’ll collaborate with engineers across multiple domains to continuously improve our test systems and ensure our products meet the highest standards of reliability and performance. From running qualification campaigns to designing EGSE and test automation setups, you’ll play a hands-on role in building the future of our spacecraft.

If you’re excited about testing cutting-edge electronics and enabling fast, reliable satellite production, we’d love to have you on board.

Who are we?

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. ICEYE operates internationally with offices in Finland, Poland, Spain, Japan, the UAE, Greece, Germany, 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.

Day to day responsibilities:

• Lead qualification campaigns for new technologies, including timeline management, periodic reviews, and risk mitigation.

• Design qualification plans to validate power, digital, and mixed-signal electronics against system and design requirements.

• Develop and document test procedures, test results, assembly procedures, and other materials required for internal reviews.

• Perform data analysis on test results, conduct root-cause investigations, and present clear findings to key stakeholders.

• Provide actionable feedback to electronics designers to improve product performance and manufacturability.

• Design EGSE, data acquisition systems, and custom test hardware/software to enable scalable test automation.

• Build efficient test setups, jigs, and fixtures to support qualification and AIT activities.

• Contribute to the continuous improvement of our testing capabilities as we scale production.
