Senior AIT Engineer, Electronics
Job Description
Role highlights:
Senior AIT Engineer, Electronics
Location: Espoo, Finland
Department: Global Manufacturing Organisation
Reports to: AIT Engineering Team Manager
Employment type: Permanent
Workplace model: Hybrid / Office
Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required)
Why this role matters:
The Senior AIT Engineer, Electronics is the integration readiness authority for all electronics and power-related subsystems in ICEYE's satellite. You own the discipline from early design review through Production Readiness Review (PRR), production support, and system verification — ensuring that the entire electronics chain is manufacturable, testable, and takt-compatible at scale.
This is not a production execution role. You are the engineer who ensures production can execute: you own the integration logic, the procedures, the technical escalation path, and the feedback loop back to Engineering. You work in a "2-in-a-box" model with subsystem designers, they own the design, you own how it integrates.
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.
Your day-to-day responsibilities
Own integration readiness for electronics and power subsystems: power management, power conditioning and distribution, battery systems, solar panels, watchdog and contactor systems, electrical interfaces, and power firmware and boot logic across all satellite variants
Act as the satellite-wide electronics expert, the person engineering and production both turn to when electrical behaviour during integration is unclear, unexpected, or blocking
Work in a "2-in-a-box" partnership with Engineering subsystem owners: co-own the PRR package for your discipline, assess manufacturability and testability of design changes early, and ensure no electrical design reaches production without your integration sign-off
Develop, maintain, and continuously improve procedures, flows, and troubleshooting guides for your subsystems by ensuring documentation is technically correct, version-controlled, and production-executable without interpretation
Own Tier-2 technical support for electronics-related non-conformances and integration anomalies: triage, root cause, corrective action, and closure protecting production time and preventing recurrence
Participate in Engineering projects, ensuring that lessons learned translate directly into production-ready documentation and PRR
Train and mentor production technicians on electronics integration steps, building floor-level competence that reduces dependence on engineering escalation
Drive subsystem manufacturing readiness level (MRL) maturity, maintaining an improvement roadmap
What we’re looking for
Must haves:
Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a closely related discipline
6+ years of hands-on experience in electronics integration, assembly, or test engineering in a hardware-intensive environment
Strong understanding of power electronics: power distribution architectures, battery management systems, solar power conditioning, and electrical boot sequences at system level
Demonstrated experience owning a subsystem or discipline end-to-end from design review through integration and verification, not just executing procedures someone else wrote
Proficiency with electronics lab equipment: power supplies, multimeters, oscilloscopes, data acquisition systems, and protocol analysers
Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, ICDs, and system-level documentation, and to translate them into practical integration and test procedures
Experience identifying and resolving electronics integration anomalies under time pressure, with clear root cause documentation
Excellent communication skills in English written and verbal, across both engineering and production audiences
Nice to haves:
Experience in spacecraft, aerospace, defence, or other high-reliability electronics environments
Familiarity with satellite power subsystems or embedded power management firmware behaviour
Experience writing and owning integration procedures for a production environment at scale
Experience with ESD-controlled and cleanroom work environments
Proficiency with Jira or equivalent engineering tracking and NC management systems
Exposure to production readiness reviews (PRR), design reviews (PDR/CDR), or equivalent formal engineering gate processes
Knowledge of IPC standards or equivalent electronics assembly and inspection standards
Python or scripting experience for test automation or diagnostic tooling
