As a Production Reliability Engineer, you’ll play a key role in ensuring the quality, reliability, and scalability of ICEYE’s external manufacturing ecosystem. You will drive supplier quality activities across the full supplier lifecycle, from supplier selection and qualification to ongoing performance management and continuous improvement.

Working closely with Supply Chain, Engineering, AIT Engineering, and external manufacturing partners, you will help ensure that critical electronic components and assemblies meet the highest standards for mission‑critical space hardware. Your work will directly support ICEYE’s ability to deliver reliable, manufacturable, and high‑performance systems at scale.

ICEYE delivers space‑based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to governments and allied nations. This includes sovereign and turnkey ISR missions leveraging ICEYE’s world‑leading synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite technology, as well as access to data from the world’s largest SAR satellite constellation. These capabilities enable partners to detect and respond to critical changes anywhere on Earth with unprecedented speed and accuracy, day or night and in any weather, supported by ultra high‑resolution imagery and high‑frequency revisits.

As a trusted partner for defense, intelligence, security, and maritime domain awareness, ICEYE’s near real‑time data creates a tactical advantage for mission‑critical operations. Designed for dual use, the platform also serves civil protection and commercial users for natural‑catastrophe intelligence, insurance, maritime monitoring including oil‑spill detection, and finance, contributing to global security and community resilience.

ICEYE is headquartered in Finland and operates globally across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia‑Pacific. We have more than 900 employees, united by a shared vision: improving life on Earth by becoming the global source of truth in Earth Observation.
