Software AIT Engineer — Satellite V&V & Integration

ICEYE; Valencia; Presencial; EUR 65.000 - 85.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

ICEYE in Valencia, Spain is seeking a Software AIT Engineer to bridge software development and hardware integration. You will lead satellite-level V&V campaigns, integrate flight software with avionics and subsystems, and develop automated test frameworks to ensure readiness.

The role requires 5+ years in integration or testing of complex systems, strong Python scripting, and experience with HIL and environmental testing.

Formación

• 5+ years in integration, testing or production of complex systems, preferably aerospace or high‑reliability hardware.
• Strong Python scripting and automation for test development and data analysis.
• Experience in multidisciplinary engineering environments with a focus on system-level validation.
• Deep technical understanding of satellite architectures including C&D, avionics, or communication subsystems.
• Familiarity with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, environmental testing (EMC, vibration, thermal), and configuration management.
• Systems engineering mindset — able to anticipate integration risks and connect software logic, hardware interfaces, and mission operations.
• Proficient English (written and spoken) for cross‑functional collaboration.

Responsabilidades

• Execute satellite-level verification and validation (V&V) campaigns, focusing on functional software operations and system health.
• Lead the integration of flight software with satellite subsystems (avionics, power, RF, thermal), ensuring seamless interoperability.
• Develop and maintain automated test scripts and frameworks to enhance efficiency, repeatability, and coverage across functional and environmental test campaigns.
• Act as primary technical contact for software-related integration issues, performing root cause analysis and coordinating with software engineering to resolve anomalies.
• Support production readiness and design reviews (PRR, CDR) by providing feedback on software testability, hardware-in-the-loop requirements, and system configuration.
• Contribute to and improve AIT documentation including software test procedures, integration plans, and configuration records.
• Interface with Global AIT, Software Engineering, and Mission Operations teams to ensure alignment on product standards and lessons learned.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives in integration methods, test efficiency, and build reliability.
