Keep ICEYE's constellation operating at scale across its global ground station network, with a focus on RF interference analysis.

You’ll be working in the small operations systems engineering team responsible for ICEYE's ground station network, owning a specialist work stream that does not yet exist internally: RF interference and Spectrum analysis to support ICEYE's ground station operations and international frequency coordination efforts.
The pace is operational, the problems are live, and the capability you build will directly support our scaling. As part of the team you participate in solving ground station and antenna related problems, integrate new stations and help with LEOP (Launch Early Orbit Phase) preparations.

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 operates internationally with offices in Finland, Poland, Spain, Japan, the UAE, Greece, and the US. The company has more than 900 employees, inspired by the shared vision of improving life on Earth by becoming the global source of truth in Earth Observation.

• The ground station network is reliably operated and monitored, with contact quality maintained across all active sites

• Active and upcoming frequency coordination filings are supported by appropriate RF analysis and modeling

• An internal spectrum analysis pipeline is built and validated, reducing manual effort across ground station operations over time

• Spectrum knowledge is documented and progressively shared across the team, reducing single-person dependency

• Experience in an operational engineering role in a ground station, satellite operations, or telecommunications environment

• Hands-on experience in RF interference analyses and simulations

• Ability to perform RF link budget calculations and interpret interference analysis results

• Working knowledge of antenna theory fundamentals

• Comfortable operating with high autonomy, in a team with an operational rather than R&D character

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate technical spectrum topics for non-specialist colleagues and stakeholders
