Subsystem Assembly & Verification Technician (RF & Avionics) Verified today
About ICEYE
ICEYE is the global leader in synthetic aperture radar satellite operations for Earth Observation. We own and operate the world's largest SAR constellation, with more than 600 employees across five international locations. Our satellites image the Earth at any time, through cloud and darkness, giving commercial and government partners persistent monitoring capability.
The Role
You will build and electrically verify the RF and avionics subsystems that go into every ICEYE satellite. Working in our cleanroom production line, you take a kitted work order, assemble the unit to controlled procedures, verify on the bench that it performs to specification, and hand a fully traceable, flight-ready subsystem to the satellite integration line.
You will work day to day alongside AIT Engineering, Quality and the Integration team, understanding how a whole satellite comes together and genuinely owning every unit that leaves your bench.
What You Will Do
- Assemble avionics and RF subsystems to detailed, controlled work instructions, moving between product families as required
- Perform electrical verification of units using bench power supplies, multimeters and unit-specific test setups
- Cross-train across the full subsystem set and progress through the competence matrix towards independent sign-off
- Read and interpret schematics, wiring diagrams, assembly drawings and parts lists to confirm correct build configuration
- Carry out peer visual inspection of assemblies and share findings constructively with colleagues
- Identify non-conformances, raise clear reports, and support engineering with fault-finding and root-cause investigation
- Handle connectors, coaxial assemblies and harnesses to required torque, mating and cleanliness standards
- Maintain full traceability by completing work orders, updating tickets, applying verification labelling and capturing photographic evidence
- Deliver verified subsystems to the integration line to support the satellite production plan
- Work to cleanroom, ESD and FOD control standards
- Contribute to procedure improvements and continuous improvement initiatives
What You Will Bring
Required
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in electronics, electrical engineering, mechatronics, or equivalent technical field
- 2+ years of experience in electronic or electro-mechanical assembly, integration, or hardware test
- Confident use of basic test equipment such as multimeters and bench power supplies
- Ability to read, interpret and follow controlled documentation, including schematics and wiring diagrams
- Strong manual dexterity and attention to detail when handling precision, static-sensitive hardware
- Understanding of ESD-safe working practices
- Willingness to travel across Europe
- Willingness to work across both avionics and RF hardware, and to keep learning new unit types as satellites evolve
- Proficient English, written and spoken
Nice to Have
- Experience with RF hardware: coaxial connectors, cable assemblies, transmitters, receivers, or RF test equipment
- Experience working in a cleanroom or other controlled production environment
- Familiarity with IPC-A-610, IPC/WHMA-A-620 or ECSS workmanship standards
- FMEA, 6S and Quality standards
- Comfort with scripted or automated test tooling and Linux command line
- Familiarity with Jira, Confluence and ERP/MRP systems such as NetSuite
- Background in aerospace, space, defence, medical devices or other high-reliability manufacturing
What Is In It for You
- A job that matters in a dynamic Earth Observation environment
- An independent role in a supportive and diverse work environment
- Occupational healthcare and accident insurance
- Yearly benefit budget to spend on sport, transport, bike benefit, wellness, lunch and more
- Phone subscription with the iPhone of your choice
- Time for self-development, research, training, conferences and certification schemes
- Inspiring collaborative offices and quiet workspaces
- A wide variety of coffee, tea, snacks and sweets
