Opportunities in Finland

Role highlights:

• Senior Satellite Industrialization Engineer
• Location: Espoo, Finland
• Department: Industrialization Systems / Global Manufacturing Organization (GMO)
• Employment type: Permanent
• Workplace model: Office / Hybrid
• Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required) Why this role matters: As a Senior Satellite Industrialization Engineer, you'll do the hands-on technical work that moves satellite designs toward industrial maturity (MRL 8-9). You'll contribute to the DFM/DFX design standard, act as a technical reviewer at design-review gates, and help define the production line, automation, and facility requirements behind them. Your depth in RF, optical, or broader satellite systems keeps that work grounded in what a real satellite design actually requires. 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
• Contribute to the DFM/DFX standard: help develop and maintain design rules, tolerancing guidance, and material/process selection criteria.
• Support the design-review gates your team is involved in: help define gate criteria and participate as a technical reviewer.
• Support the definition of industrialization requirements beyond the design standard: production line design requirements, automation requirements, and facility requirements for satellite and subsystem manufacturing.
• Work with Engineering, AIT, and Production teams to gather the input needed to define these requirements against real design and production constraints.
• Support coordination with ICEYE's Global Manufacturing Infrastructure team on the detail needed to implement line, automation, and facility requirements at each site.
• Build and maintain manufacturability and industrialization tooling: checklists, scorecards, and templates that design and production teams actually use.
• Help track the target metrics that satellite and subsystem designs are measured against as they move through MRL stages.
• Support the interface with the Manufacturing Engineering function, helping capture field and design friction and translate it into standard updates. What we’re looking for Must haves:
• Hands-on design or systems engineering background in satellite hardware, with depth in RF, optical, or broader satellite subsystems.
• Solid understanding of how design decisions affect manufacturability, tolerancing, integration, and test outcomes.
• Comfortable doing the technical work of building and maintaining standards, gate criteria, and tooling, under the direction of the function's lead.
• Experience working alongside Engineering, AIT, or Production teams to gather technical input.
• Strong communication skills, able to translate technical design detail into clear standard and tooling content. Nice to haves:
• Prior exposure to DFM/DFX practices, design-review gates, or producibility standards in aerospace or comparable hardware environments.
• Experience contributing to production line, automation, or facility requirements for hardware manufacturing.
• Familiarity with cleanroom environments and EGSE/MGSE.
• Experience in a multi-site or scale-up manufacturing environment. Application Process
• Talent Acquisition Interview
• Hiring Manager Interview
• Technical Interview + Task
