SUPO, where required)\n\nWhy this role matters:\nAs an Electrical AIT Engineer, you own the electrical/avionics side of production at ICEYE end to end -- integration, debugging, continuous improvement, and adapting processes as new designs come through. You will lead satellite-level verification and validation campaigns for power, propulsion, GNC, GPS, and CDH/OBC subsystems, integrate electrical hardware with satellite systems, and own functional and system-health testing to ensure flight readiness. You will act as the primary technical contact for electrical-related integration issues and drive continuous improvement across AIT methods, test efficiency, and build reliability -- ensuring every spacecraft meets ICEYE's standards for mission success. \nYour day-to-day responsibilities\nExecute unit-level and satellite-level verification and validation (V&V) campaigns, focusing on power, propulsion, GNC, GPS, and CDH/OBC functional operations and system health\n\nLead the integration of electrical/avionics hardware with satellite subsystems (power, propulsion, GNC, GPS, C&DH/OBC, RF, thermal), ensuring seamless interoperability\n\nTest and validate the hardware/software interface -- telemetry and telecommand behavior, CDH bus interfaces, and OBC-driven subsystem responses -- without owning flight software development or debugging, which sits with the Software AIT team\n\nDevelop and maintain automated test scripts and frameworks to enhance efficiency, repeatability, and coverage across functional and environmental test campaigns\n\nAct as primary technical contact for electrical-related integration issues, performing root cause analysis and coordinating with power/propulsion/GNC engineering to resolve anomalies\n\nSupport production readiness and design reviews (PRR, CDR) by providing feedback on software testability, hardware-in-the-loop requirements, and system configuration\n\nContribute to and improve AIT documentation including RF test procedures, integration plans, and configuration records\n\nInterface with Global AIT, Power/Propulsion/GNC Engineering, and Mission Operations teams to ensure alignment on product standards and lessons learned\n\nDrive continuous improvement initiatives in integration methods, test efficiency, and build reliability\n\nWhat we’re looking for\nMust haves:\n3+ years of hands-on experience in electrical/avionics integration, testing, or production of complex systems, preferably in aerospace or high-reliability hardware industries\n\nDeep technical understanding of satellite electrical architectures including power systems, propulsion, GNC, GPS, and/or CDH/OBC\n\nHands-on experience with anechoic chamber testing (antenna pattern measurement, radiated performance verification)\n\nWorking proficiency in Python for test automation and data analysis\n\nProven experience in multidisciplinary engineering environments with a focus on system-level validation\n\nFamiliarity with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, environmental testing (EMC, vibration, thermal), and configuration management\n\nSystems engineering mindset -- able to anticipate integration risks and connect RF performance, hardware interfaces, and mission operations\n\nProficient English (written and spoken) for cross-functional collaboration\n\nNice to haves:\nExperience with Atlassian Cloud tools (Jira, Confluence)\nTrack record of enabling design-for-testability (DFT) and design-for-manufacturing (DFM)\n\nLean and Six Sigma experience\n\nExperience with SAR payload calibration or comms link-budget analysis beyond routine test execution\n\nExperience writing or improving Python test scripts beyond routine execution\n\nProficient Japanese (written and spoken)\n\nApplication Process\nTalent Acquisition Interview\n\nHiring Manager General Interview\n\nTechnical Interview, including a Technical Challenge\n\nFinal Interview\n\nWorking at ICEYE\nAt ICEYE, you’ll join a diverse and highly engaged team united by the ambition to make the impossible possible.
