SUPO, where required)\n\nWhy this role matters:\nAs Senior Optomechanical Engineer, you will be the critical link between optical and mechanical engineering, turning advanced optical designs into flight-ready mechanical structures for ICEYE's satellite payloads. Working hands-on across CAD, materials and precision mechanics, you will own the mechanical design of optomechanical assemblies through every stage of the product lifecycle, from concept and prototyping to manufacturing, integration, testing, and qualification for space. You will ensure that performance, precision, and alignment are preserved as an optical design moves from the design file to a finished satellite instrument.\n\nWho We Are\n\n 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.\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\nOwn the mechanical side of the optical payload's development, from early concept work through prototyping, and into production, integration, and pre-launch qualification, working hands-on on CAD design, analysis, and optimization throughout.\n\nSit at the interface between the optical and mechanical domain, reading and interpreting optical designs so that the mechanical structures, mounts, and adjustment mechanisms you build preserve their performance once assembled and tested.\n\nBuild and maintain close working relationships with external manufacturers and subcontractors, so that the components and mechanisms they deliver meet the precision, alignment, and quality the design calls for.\n\nWhat we’re looking for\nMust haves:\nExpert knowledge and hands-on skills of mechanical CAD design, analysis and optimization including all phases of the project from the concept up to material and structural analysis.\n\nFamiliarity with the material science and engineering being able to guide material selection and analysis for the space environment (outgassing, thermal cycling, thermoelastic effects).\n\nEmbracing the challenge, mindset of owning problems and solving them, capability of taking risks and leaning forward when needed. R&D style of learning by doing and iterating on the parts that require improvement.\n\nExperience in delivering design through suppliers - proven record of working directly together with manufacturers and subcontractors in order to get the design delivered to production, verified and validated.\n\nNice to haves:\nExposure to space optics.\n\nExperience with TVAC and vibration testing, and pre-launch qualification campaigns.\n\nExperience selecting and qualifying optical components together with manufacturers.\n\nKnowledge of metrology and measurement techniques for precisely actuated systems, including optical profiling and CMM methods.\n\nApplication Process\nTalent Attraction Screening\n\nHiring Manager Screening\n\nOnsite workshop + Technical discussion\n\nInterview with Leadership\n\nWorking at ICEYE\nAt ICEYE, you’ll join a diverse and highly engaged team united by the ambition to make the impossible possible.
