About the role

  • **The Mission of the AOCS Software & GNC Engineer**
  • You ensure that our satellites always point towards the right direction enabling high-quality images.
  • This role is essential for maximizing the operational time and performance of ICEYE's satellite constellations. By improving satellite agility, optimizing pointing accuracy, and ensuring the reliability of the Attitude and Orbit Control Systems (AOCS), this role directly increases the quality of the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data we deliver to our customers. This is the core "why" - to elevate our mission success and make our services consistently available.
  • The Senior AOCS/Robotics Engineer acts as the ultimate guardian of AOCS health and predictability. The role achieves this by proactively enhancing hardware selection and anomaly resolution processes, and by bringing deep, systematic control systems expertise to troubleshooting in-orbit issues. Crucially, the engineer will also make AOCS knowledge clear across the organization, enabling faster, data-driven decisions that strengthen the entire engineering team and standardize reliable operations.

  • - Enhanced Organizational AOCS Proficiency: By making AOCS domain knowledge transparent and accessible across the organization, the role will foster data-driven decision-making and enable more efficient, informed cross-functional support, ultimately making the entire organization more effective.
  • - Robust and Predictable AOCS Operations: The establishment of well-defined and accepted processes for anomaly handling, resolution, and AOCS component acceptance ensures predictable, reliable, and standardized operations.
