About the role
- Take technical ownership of the integration and verification of the satellite Attitude and Orbit Control System (AOCS).
- Work closely with Engineering and Production teams to ensure the AOCS is manufacturable, testable, and reliable throughout assembly, integration, and system validation.
- Define integration and test strategies for AOCS units (reaction wheels, star trackers, gyros, magnetorquers, GNSS modules, and associated software).
- Ensure designs can be built and verified efficiently.
- Support projects from early design through final testing, contributing to key reviews and ensuring integration plans, tools, procedures, and documentation are robust.
- Lead AOCS system testing and debug activities on the production floor.
- Support anomaly resolution and root cause analysis when needed.
- Provide system-level, hands-on expertise and collaborate across teams to ensure ICEYE’s AOCS performs reliably in orbit and scales with production.
Requirements
- 3 - 7 years of experience working with aerospace/robotics (or similar) control systems: Strong understanding of control systems and closed-loop feedback principles, particularly as applied to spacecraft attitude and orbit control
- Understanding of how embedded systems are validated in real hardware
- Experience translating software logic into testable behaviors
- Familiarity with satellite system-level integration, including interface dependencies
- Experience participating in major satellite project reviews (e.g. PDR, CDR, PRR)
- Hands-on experience with integration and testing sensors and actuators, and complex mechatronic or embedded systems
- Working knowledge of Python, bash or scripting tools for test automation, data logging, and analysis.
- Experience working as the interface between Production and Engineering, ideally in aerospace or robotics.
- Familiarity with verification methods and test coverage across various environmental and functional campaigns.
- Strong collaboration skills and willingness to support teams on the production floor.
- Proactive mindset and comfort operating in fast-paced, high-change environments.
