Job Level
About the role
- Lead the design, development, validation testing and qualification of high-reliability mixed-signal electronics for our satellites.
- Own technical systems with end-to-end accountability, ensuring they meet mission and scalability needs.
- Coordinate multidisciplinary development projects
- Drive engineering discipline and best practices across teams, influencing how ICEYE builds spacecraft hardware.
- Anticipate future needs, architecting systems and developing processes that keep ICEYE at the forefront of satellite electronics.
- Use data, feedback and industry trends to implement new ideas that advance our electronics platform.
- Mentor and multiply the capabilities of the wider engineering organization.
- High quality electronics are an extremely important part of our satellites. The key element of your work is to verify that all the decisions are supporting that goal, all the way from component selections to system design and the qualification of the whole unit.
- You will be responsible for the design of our products, testing, documenting, and solving the possible issues happening during the development process, manufacturing, or later at the orbit.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in electronics engineering within fast-paced development environments, preferably in embedded, aerospace, or mission-critical systems.
- Experience leading complex, cross-functional projects, with impact beyond a single team or product.
- Ability to use data strategically to guide design trade-offs, influence technical direction, and support decision-making at the architectural level.
- Demonstrated technical leadership in board-level hardware design, owning work end-to-end from schematics and PCB layout through simulation, bring-up, and validation.
- Proven ability to push technical boundaries, applying advanced design techniques and measurements to solve complex engineering problems.
- Strong expertise in laboratory and system-level measurements, including confident use of standard and advanced test equipment.
- Excellent at root-cause analysis of board- and system-level failures, driving issues to resolution with data-backed conclusions.
- Strong business awareness, designing solutions that balance technical excellence, reliability, cost, schedule, and manufacturability.
- Clear and effective communicator in English (written and spoken), trusted to represent ICEYE’s technology both internally and externally.
- Comfortable working independently, while also being a collaborative team player and technical mentor.
