Valencia Lab Test Engineer – RF & Automation

ICEYE; Comunidad Valenciana; On-site; EUR 42,000 - 52,000; Full time

Job summary

ICEYE in Valencia, Spain, is seeking a Lab Test Engineer to plan, run, automate and document the lab’s tests across simulation, signal capture, playback and hardware-in-the-loop, ensuring repeatable and trusted results.

You will set up hardware, manage calibration and inventory, run campaigns and analyze results, while supporting field activities and demonstrations and maintaining strict RF safety practices.

Responsibilities

• Plan and run tests across all three lab missions: end-to-end simulation runs, emitter capture sessions, playback and channel simulator campaigns, flatsat and receiver tests, and algorithm validation.
• Write procedures and automate them: turn manual setups into scripted, repeatable test sequences, and add them to regression so each software or firmware build is checked.
• Set up and maintain the lab: instruments, SDRs, cabling, fixtures, the screened enclosure and emitter bays, network and compute. Track calibration, configuration and inventory so every result records what produced it.
• Manage test data: keep recordings, run outputs and metadata organized, searchable and backed up, with the provenance to reproduce a result.
• Analyze and report: compare results to expectations and to previous runs, flag regressions and anomalies, write concise test reports, and log issues with the evidence needed to fix them.
• Support campaigns in the field and in the air, customer and partner demonstrations, and the reproduction of on-orbit anomalies on the ground.
• Run the lab safely: RF safety, ESD, equipment handling, access control and the handling rules for controlled material.
