<h3>Who are we?</h3>ICEYE is the global leader in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite technology, revolutionizing Earth observation with real-time, all-weather, day-and-night imaging. As the owner and operator of the world’s largest SAR satellite constellation, we provide critical insights that empower industries like maritime, disaster management, insurance, and finance to make informed decisions.Headquartered in Finland, with a presence in five international locations, our diverse team of 600+ experts from nearly 60 countries shares a bold mission: to enhance life on Earth by delivering reliable, data-driven solutions. At ICEYE, we foster a culture of curiosity, innovation, and collaboration, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in space technology to solve the world’s toughest challenges.<h3>Why Join ICEYE?</h3>At ICEYE, we’re not just launching satellites, we’re redefining what’s possible with SAR technology. Join a team of passionate innovators solving real-world challenges and making a tangible impact. We foster a dynamic and inclusive environment where your ideas are valued, your growth is supported, and your contributions truly matter. With continuous learning opportunities, cutting-edge projects, and collaboration with industry-leading experts, you'll have the chance to grow, innovate, and shape the future of Earth Observation.<h3>Why this role?</h3>ICEYE operates the world’s largest commercial SAR constellation. Your mission is to keep it flying perfectly. You’ll lead a small, empowered team that blends orbital mechanics with modern software engineering, turning algorithms into customer-visible impact every week.<h3>What you’ll do:</h3>- Lead &amp; mentor a cross-functional squad of flight-dynamics and software engineers; set direction, unblock execution, and grow talent.- Own the orbit-control roadmap - repeat ground-track, orbital-tube control, collision avoidance, formation flying - choosing the right tech and tactics to keep the fleet on station.- Design and ship software for maneuver planning, orbit determination, and on-orbit automation. We code primarily in Python and deploy through CI/CD to a Kubernetes-based ground segment.- Prioritize ruthlessly &amp; deliver: translate mission goals into clear, testable milestones; maintain a healthy backlog; drive releases that reach operations continuously.- Collaborate widely with mission operations, payload, analytics, and ground-systems teams to make sure orbit solutions align with customer needs.Requirements<h3>About you</h3>- You’ve built and operated spacecraft flight-dynamics systems or mission-analysis tools.- Comfortable writing production software (Python, C++, or equivalent) and working with CI/CD workflows; cloud/Kubernetes familiarity is a bonus, not a must.- Track record of shipping real systems and/or executing on-orbit maneuvers; years-of-experience less important than delivered impact.- Experienced in technical leadership - leading projects or small teams, setting technical direction, supporting engineers’ growth.- Clear communicator who can explain orbital mechanics to software engineers and software constraints to orbital mechanics.<h3>Nice to have</h3>- Constellation or formation-flying experience.- Low-thrust maneuver planning know-how.- Contributions to open-source astrodynamics or GNC librariesICEYE is committed to building an inclusive workplace and encourages candidates from all backgrounds to apply. If you’re excited about solving real-world problems at the intersection of space and software, we’d love to hear from you.BenefitsWhat’s In It for You?<ul> <li>A job that matters in a dynamic Earth Observation environment with a scale-up approach</li> <li>An independent role with a supportive and diverse work environment</li> <li>Occupational healthcare, occupational and accident insurance</li> <li>A yearly benefit budget to spend as you wish (i.e. on sport, transport, bike benefit, wellness, lunch, etc.)</li> <li>Phone subscription with iPhone of choice</li> <li>Relocation support (i.e. flight tickets, accommodation, relocation agency support)</li> <li>Time for self-development, research, training, conferences, or certification schemes</li> <li>Inspiring and collaborating offices and silent workspaces enable you to focus</li> <li>A wide variety of the best coffee, tea, snacks, and sweets to accompany your daily space mission</li> <li>Competitive salary contingent on your experience level, and will be negotiated individually</li> </ul>Diversity, Equity, and InclusionAt ICEYE, diversity is more than just a value - it's our greatest strength. We’re dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where every voice is not only heard but celebrated.
