ICEYE; Espoo; Hybrid; EUR 55.000 - 75.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

ICEYE in Espoo, Finland is seeking a Senior Production Technician (Power & Electronics) to build and test avionics, RF units and batteries for our satellite fleet. You will work on standard, repeatable production, under clear work instructions, with a strong emphasis on quality and safety.

You’ll own your work area, diagnose build and test problems with engineers and Quality, and mentor fellow technicians in soldering, connectors and lean practices.

Qualifikationen

• 5+ years hands-on electronics or electro-mechanical assembly in a quality-critical environment such as space, aerospace, defence, medical devices, telecom or automotive electronics.
• Soldering and rework to IPC Class 3 (IPC-A-610 / J-STD-001) or ECSS standard, certified or able to certify during probation, plus experience with connectors, coax assemblies and harness termination.
• Confident use of bench test equipment (multimeter, power supplies, electronic load, oscilloscope), and able to work from schematics, wiring diagrams, assembly drawings and test procedures.
• Strong ESD, FOD and cleanroom discipline.
• A track record of owning a work area or technical problem and seeing it through.
• Experience coaching technicians, with clear and practical communication.
• Working knowledge of Lean and 6S.
• Proficient English. Onsite in Espoo, with occasional travel to other ICEYE sites in Europe.

Aufgaben

• Build and test avionics, RF and battery units to flight standard, following controlled work instructions and lithium-ion handling rules.
• Run bench tests: power-up, continuity and isolation checks, functional tests with unit test setups, and RF measurements where needed.
• Be the first point of contact for build and test problems: lead fault-finding with engineering and Quality, and close non-conformances through root cause and corrective action.
• Keep your production area ready and every build traceable: tools, fixtures, test equipment and kits, plus work orders, Jira tickets, as-built records, labels and photos.
• Coach and cross-train technicians in soldering, connectors and coax, ESD and FOD rules, and test execution.
• Improve how we build: redline work instructions, non-conformance reports and checklists, remove bottlenecks and repeat defects using Lean and 6S, and support new unit variants and new product introduction from first-article build to lessons learned.
