Who are we?

ICEYE is the global leader in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite operations for Earth Observation, persistent monitoring, and natural catastrophe solutions; owning and operating the world's largest SAR constellation. ICEYE is headquartered in Finland and operates from five international locations with more than 600 employees from nearly 60 countries, inspired by the shared vision of improving life on Earth by becoming the global source of truth in Earth Observation.

Our satellites acquire images of Earth at any time – even when it’s cloudy or dark – providing commercial and government partners with unmatched persistent monitoring capabilities. Information derived from our SAR images helps customers make data-driven decisions to address time-critical challenges in various sectors, such as maritime, disaster management, insurance, and finance.

Our team is a tight-knit group of experts across many disciplines (e.g., engineering, software development, radar technology, etc.). We’re innovative, driven people who strive for excellence in everything we do. Teamwork, curiosity, and having fun are core values at ICEYE, and contribute to Making the Impossible possible!!

Why should you work for us?

ICEYE is at the cutting edge of new technology and we are continuing to build and operate our commercial constellation of SAR satellites. Working with ICEYE, you will be part of making the impossible possible, whilst shaping the Earth Observation industry. You will work with varied, diverse and engaged colleagues to further the ICEYE mission. At ICEYE we realize that without great people we can not succeed, therefore you will be an integral, valued and appreciated colleague, with the ability to directly shape the vision and direction of the business.

We actively support Continuous Professional Development, and will provide access to a range of avenues to allow you to succeed, including courses, training and attendance at conferences. ICEYE is a place where your development, your growth and your success is a priority.

What will you do?

This exciting role will have you work under the guidance of the Director of Missions and Manufacturing. You will have the opportunity to be based in our growing Spain office, specifically in the Murcia area. As the CFRP (carbon fiber-reinforced plastic) manufacturing production leader, you will play a key role in driving success at ICEYE in Spain.

Your responsibilities will not only include ensuring that we consistently meet our delivery commitments, but also leading the growth and development of our team and operations while embracing a culture of continuous improvement.

You will be the primary technical lead on developing processing methods, and apply a comprehensive knowledge of composites manufacturing to develop carbon fiber parts, components, and prototypes. You will define testing protocol of carbon materials and parts per company and industry standards, execute on the deliverables and contract milestones (including writing relevant report sections), and provide support for in-process control and quality control testing. You will be tasked to ensure the ICEYE Spain manufacturing site is well aligned with the global ICEYE manufacturing production and AIT (automation, integration, and testing) approach.

This role involves the responsibility of developing a team of around 20 colleagues (with high potential for scale) and designing an efficient manufacturing process for both satellites and HAPS. You have the exciting opportunity to consistently meet set objectives while establishing an operation that excels in terms of cost-effectiveness, speed, and quality.
