Satellite Systems, Software Verification Team Lead Department: Integral Manufacturing Organisation Permanent Office We are looking for an Satellite Systems, Software Verification Team Lead to own the final verification of our satellites, the stage where an integrated spacecraft is proven to work. You’ll lead satellite-level functional and end-to-end checkout, onboard software loading and validation, and RF testing in our anechoic chamber, with a team of 5 technicians across systems, software and RF. You’ll spend real time with your team at the satellite, troubleshooting, unblocking issues and improving how we test. ICEYE is scaling satellite production fast, so you’ll also build the processes, tools and KPIs that let verification keep pace without compromising quality. We’re looking for a strong electronics engineer who is comfortable with software and enjoys leading people. If you’ve led hands-on electronics testing in a demanding industry such as aerospace, defence, automotive or power electronics, we’ll help you learn the space-specific parts. 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. Prove that all onboard systems (power, avionics, software, RF) perform reliably in full configuration Owning Software in Verification Own onboard software loading, validation and checkout during production verification Maintain and improve test scripts,
test automation and software-supported verification flows Work with AIT Engineering on software-related issues, telling software faults apart from hardware faults Overseeing RF Testing Make sure RF testing of the satellite in the anechoic chamber is planned, executed and reported to standard, working with the RF specialists in your team Keep RF test benches and chamber setups maintained, calibrated and compliant Quality, Traceability & Compliance Plan, execute and report system-level functional tests and inspections Maintain configuration control, build discipline and full traceability Ensure compliance with applicable aerospace quality standards such as ECSS Identify key non-conformances, escalate critical issues and drive resolution of the most impactful ones, supporting root cause analysis led by AIT Engineering Develop work instructions, test procedures and checklists with AIT Engineering and Quality Increase throughput and reduce rework while protecting quality Teach structured fault diagnosis and test best practices Be the bridge between verification and engineering (systems, software, RF, AIT) Collaborate with Quality, Planning, Supply Chain and the two other production teams (Integration/Mechanical & Thermal; A degree in electronics, telecommunications or electrical engineering,
or equivalent hands-on experience Hands-on experience testing, validating or verifying complex electronic systems, at unit or system level Working software knowledge: scripting (ideally Python), loading and configuring software on hardware, version and configuration control Ability to read schematics, assembly drawings and test procedures Clear communication with engineers, technicians and stakeholders, in fluent English RF test experience (spectrum or network analysers, signal generators, anechoic chambers) Test automation frameworks (such as TestStand, LabVIEW or pytest) Experience scaling a test or production process Every satellite is verified reliably, predictably, and to standard before it ships RF, system, and software verification processes are clear, structured, and scalable The team takes full ownership of verification quality and traceability You'll bring RF, systems, and software verification together under one scope You'll work at the intersection of engineering and production, where decisions have immediate impact Hiring Manager General Interview As a global 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.
