SUPO, where required).\n\nWhy this role matters:\nThe AIT Technician builds ICEYE's satellites. You perform the physical assembly, integration and test operations that turn qualified designs into flight-ready spacecraft, working to approved procedures in a cleanroom environment and taking personal responsibility for the quality, workmanship and traceability of everything you touch.\nYour focus is mechanical, thermal and harness integration: assembling structures and equipment, installing thermal hardware and multi-layer insulation, routing and connecting flight harnesses, and bringing subsystems together into a complete satellite. We are hiring at both Technician and Senior Technician level. Senior Technicians take on the more complex assemblies, lead frontline troubleshooting and coach the technicians around them.\nWho We Are\nICEYE 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.\nICEYE 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.\nICEYE-built constellations serve customers in defence and intelligence, environmental monitoring, insurance and emergency management. We enable fast decisions that contribute to a safer future.\nFounded and headquartered in Finland, ICEYE operates globally with over 1000 employees across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.\n Your day-to-day responsibilities\nPreparation and Readiness\nPrepare each operation from the approved procedure, traveller and drawings, and check that the documentation matches the hardware in front of you before starting.\n\nVerify hardware before use: part and serial numbers, quantity, physical condition, cleanliness, protections, fasteners and consumables.\n\nPrepare and check the tools, torque equipment, MGSE, lifting and handling equipment and integration stands the activity needs.\n\nMechanical and Thermal Assembly and Integration\nAssemble and install satellite structures, panels, brackets, equipment, payloads, mechanisms and thermal hardware to drawing and torque specification.\n\nIntegrate subsystems into the satellite, verifying fit, alignment and interfaces at each step.\n\nPerform handling and lifting operations with MGSE, including satellite rotation, transfer between stands and installation on test adapters.\n\nHarness, Thermal Hardware and MLI\nRoute, install and connect flight harnesses, including crimping, soldering, shielding, connector mating and identification.\n\nPerform electrical verification of harnesses, including continuity, insulation and short-circuit checks.\n\nInstall thermal hardware including heaters, thermistors and thermal interface materials, and fabricate, install and repair multi-layer insulation, including bonding and taping operations.\n\nTest Preparation and Support\nPrepare satellite configurations for functional and environmental testing, including installation on test adapters and mechanical interfaces.\n\nSet up and connect EGSE and test benches, support test execution, monitor parameters and report anomalies immediately.\n\nSupport environmental and launch campaigns on site and off site, including packing, transport preparation and reinstallation.\n\nQuality, Traceability and Non-Conformance\nRecord every operation in real time: as-run procedures, logbooks, photographs, and hardware and software configuration, in Manufacturo (MES) and Jira.\n\nPerform compliance checks and visual inspections at each critical step, and complete the associated checklists and records.\n\nRaise non-conformance reports for any deviation, contribute to first-level investigation, and support root cause analysis and corrective action.\n\nCleanroom, Safety and 6S\nWork to cleanroom, contamination control, ESD, FOD and chemical safety rules, and keep the work area compliant, clean and audit-ready.\n\nMaintain 6S in the production stations, and report anything that makes an area unsafe or unfit for flight hardware.\n\nImprovement and Team\nReview work instructions, travellers and checklists against what actually happens on the floor, and give clear feedback so they can be corrected.\n\nSupport on-the-job training of junior colleagues and share good practice.
