RF, Satellite Systems & Software Team Lead
RF testing and characterization
onboard software
You will lead a multidisciplinary team across RF, systems, and software, responsible for proving that every onboard system performs reliably before the satellite ships.
at the core of our production. We are rapidly scaling our production operations and require a leader who can build the systems and processes necessary to support this significant growth. To our customers we provide intelligence with unmatched quality, latency and revisit times, in any weather, day or night. ICEYE-built constellations serve customers in defence and intelligence, environmental monitoring, insurance and emergency management. Founded and headquartered in Finland, ICEYE operates globally with over **** employees across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.
Prove that all onboard systems (RF, avionics, power, software) perform reliably in full configuration
