Test Engineer
Reports to: Laboratory Lead and Test Architect
Permanent
As our Lab Test Engineer, you’ll plan, run, automate and document the lab’s tests across simulation, signal capture, playback and hardware in the loop, so results are repeatable and trusted. Specialists will build the simulation, the capture system and the playback chain, and you’ll turn those into tests that run reliably, on schedule, with traceable results. The role covers the full breadth of the lab: setting up hardware, running campaigns, automating procedures, keeping equipment calibrated and inventoried, and producing evidence that engineers and customers can rely on.
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 1000 employees across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.

Plan and run tests across all three lab missions: end-to-end simulation runs, emitter capture sessions, playback and channel simulator campaigns, flatsat and receiver tests, and algorithm validation.
Write procedures and automate them: turn manual setups into scripted, repeatable test sequences, and add them to regression so each software or firmware build is checked.
Set up and maintain the lab: instruments, SDRs, cabling, fixtures, the screened enclosure and emitter bays, network and compute. Track calibration, configuration and inventory so every result records what produced it.
Manage test data: keep recordings, run outputs and metadata organised, searchable and backed up, with the provenance to reproduce a result.
Analyse and report:



compare results to expectations and to previous runs, flag regressions and anomalies, write concise test reports, and log issues with the evidence needed to fix them.
RF safety, ESD, equipment handling, access control and the handling rules for controlled material.
Hands-on test experience in an electronics, RF, space or comparable hardware lab: test setups, procedures, execution and reporting
Comfort with lab instruments (oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers, signal generators, power supplies) and basic RF practice (connectors, attenuators, cable loss)
Scripting for test automation and data analysis, typically Python
Clear written English
Satellite AIT, flatsat or hardware-in-the-loop testing
SDR experience, RF capture or signal analysis
Test automation frameworks, CI pipelines, instrument control (SCPI/VISA)
Test data management, databases, dashboards
Spanish, for working with local suppliers and facilities
6 months: lab equipment is inventoried, calibrated and configuration-tracked, and capture and playback sessions run from written procedures, with data stored and findable.
~12 months: core tests are automated and running in regression, test reports are produced routinely, and you’ve supported the first field campaign.
~Other teams book and run tests with your procedures, and results arrive with the evidence attached.

As a general scale-up, we combine speed and ambition with the opportunity to take real ownership from day one. Your growth, wellbeing, and success are a priority, with continuous professional development, training opportunities, and a culture where collaboration is how we win.

Stay close to what’s happening across the company so you can make better decisions. Create psychological safety, invite different perspectives, and build inclusive teams. We match tasks to the right owner and stay agile as priorities shift.
