Spacecraft Analysis Engineer

ROLE HIGHLIGHTS: - Spacecraft Analysis Engineer - Location: Espoo, Finland - Department: Spacecraft Hardware - Reports to: Spacecraft Analysis Team lead - Employment type: Permanent - Workplace model: Hybrid / Office - Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required) WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS: The Spacecraft Analysis team plays a key role in the development of the next generation of ICEYE’s SAR satellites and constellations, as well as the optimization and continuous improvement of the existing fleet. As a Spacecraft analysis engineer you’ll be involved in all stages of the satellite and constellation design, CONOPs definition, and fleet operation optimization, through rigorous, physics-grounded analysis, working closely with engineers across all disciplines to make sure the spacecraft performs as intended, from the drawing board through to operations. Coming up with creative ways to find answers to challenging engineering questions while working along a multidisciplinary team is part of daily life. As we control almost every aspect of our technology from hardware to software, you will work with world-renowned experts in a highly collaborative environment. WHO WE ARE ICEYE is the world leader in sovereign intelligence from space. We deliver persistent monitoring capabilities to detect and respond to changes in any location on Earth. ICEYE owns the world's largest and most advanced SAR (synthetic aperture radar) satellite constellation. To our customers we provide intelligence with unmatched quality, latency and revisit times, in any weather, day or night. To governments who choose to operate their own constellation we provide this proven capability as a sovereign system. ICEYE-built constellations serve customers in defence and intelligence, environmental monitoring, insurance and emergency management. We enable fast decisions that contribute to a safer future. Founded and headquartered in Finland, ICEYE operates globally with over 1000 employees across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.
