Job description

Why this role?

ICEYE designs, builds & operates the world’s largest commercial SAR constellation — and our electronics are the heartbeat of every satellite we launch. As a Staff Electronics Engineer, you’ll not only design and deliver the mixed-signal electronics that power our missions, but also set the technical agenda for how ICEYE engineers spacecraft hardware.

You’ll own critical systems end-to-end, shape our long-term hardware strategy, and drive adoption of best practices across teams. Your influence will extend beyond individual boards or subsystems — helping architect solutions that meet today’s demands and smartly scale for the future.

If you’re ready to push technical boundaries, guide the company’s thinking, and make ICEYE a place that cultivates world-class engineering talent, this role is for you.

What you’ll do

1. Lead the design, development, validation testing, and qualification of high-reliability mixed-signal electronics for our satellites.
2. Own technical systems with end-to-end accountability, ensuring they meet mission and scalability needs.
3. Use industry trends, data, and internal customer feedback to implement breakthrough ideas that advance our electronics platform.
4. Drive engineering discipline and best practices across teams, influencing how ICEYE builds spacecraft hardware.
5. Anticipate future needs, architecting systems and processes that keep ICEYE at the forefront of satellite electronics.
6. Mentor and multiply the capabilities of the wider engineering organization.

About you

1. 10+ years of experience in electronics engineering, preferably in embedded or aerospace systems.
2. Proven track record pushing technical boundaries in board-level design, from schematics and PCB layout to simulation and advanced measurement.
3. Ability to lead complex, cross-functional hardware initiatives with significant organizational impact.
4. Skilled in using data strategically to guide design decisions and influence technical direction.
5. Recognized for deep business awareness—designing systems that meet both engineering excellence and business objectives.
6. Exceptional communicator and collaborator, trusted to represent ICEYE’s technology internally and externally.

Nice to have

1. Experience in Python and Linux-based scripting.
2. Familiarity with PLM systems.
3. Deep understanding of on orbit design challenges such as radiation, thermal behavior, and continuous operation.

How we lead @ ICEYE

We live by eight leadership behaviours—Make Impossible Possible, Take Bold Actions, Own It, Know the Details, Act as One, Be Nice, Have Fun, See the Big Picture—which shape how we work, mentor, and inspire others.

As a Staff Engineer, you’ll embody these values while driving technical innovation, building a culture of feedback, and shaping ICEYE’s engineering future.
