• Department: Avionics
• Location: Espoo, Finland
• Reports to: Avionics Team Lead
• Contract Type: Permanent
• Working Arrangement: Hybrid / Office
• Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required)

Why this role matters:

ICEYE designs, builds, and operates the world's largest commercial SAR satellite constellation - and the electronics you design are at the core of every mission we launch. As an Electronics Engineer, you will develop and validate high-reliability mixed-signal systems that must perform flawlessly in the extreme conditions of space, directly contributing to mission success.

This role offers the opportunity to grow your technical expertise, collaborate across disciplines, and see your designs operate in orbit as part of our expanding global Avionics Team within the Spacecraft Engineering Department.

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 is headquartered in Finland and operates globally across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. We have more than 900 employees, united by a shared vision: improving life on Earth by becoming the global source of truth in Earth Observation.

Your day-to-day responsibilities:

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

Must haves

• 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.

Nice to haves

• BSc or MSc degree in Electrical or Electronics Engineering (or similar).
