As a Harness Engineer, you build the electrical backbone of ICEYE’s satellites. Every subsystem on the spacecraft, from power to command and data handling, depends on harnesses being manufactured, routed, and verified correctly. You will execute assigned harness manufacturing, installation, and verification tasks with high precision, following established procedures and work instructions.

ICEYE is the world leader in sovereign intelligence from space. We deliver persistent monitoring capabilities to detect and respond to changes in any location on Earth.

ICEYE owns the world's largest and most advanced SAR (synthetic aperture radar) satellite constellation. To our customers we provide intelligence with unmatched quality, latency and revisit times, in any weather, day or night. To governments who choose to operate their own constellation we provide this proven capability as a sovereign system.

ICEYE-built constellations serve customers in defence and intelligence, environmental monitoring, insurance and emergency management. We enable fast decisions that contribute to a safer future.

Founded and headquartered in Finland, ICEYE operates globally with over 1000 employees across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.

• Own the harness build process from drawings and wire tables to finished, verified harness, including manufacturing, installation, routing, and test

• Write and maintain work instructions, travelers, checklists, and build procedures that technicians can follow with confidence

• Act as the bridge between harness design and production, giving design-for-manufacturing (DfM) feedback on wire tables, connector choices, routing, and harness layouts

• Define and improve verification and acceptance testing, including continuity, insulation resistance, and pin retention, and design or specify test fixtures and tooling

• Lead troubleshooting of build and process issues on the floor, own NCRs, drive root cause analysis, and put corrective actions in place with Quality

• Support harness installation and integration on satellite assemblies together with the Assembly, Integration and Test (AIT) team, making sure bend radii, strain relief, and routing standards are respected

• Make sure work follows IPC/WHMA-A-620, ECSS, and internal standards, with full traceability and configuration control

• Support and coach technicians, sharing best practices and helping the team build its harness capability

• Keep a clean, organised, and audit-ready work environment that meets ESD, safety, and cleanliness standards

• A degree in Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, or Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline

• At least 3 years of experience in cable and harness manufacturing, electromechanical assembly, or production engineering, ideally in aerospace, defence, or another high-reliability environment

• Solid understanding of harness build techniques: crimping, soldering, shielding, lacing, connectorisation, and protective coverings

• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, wire tables, schematics, and wiring diagrams, and to turn them into practical work instructions

• Experience with electrical testing of harnesses and with defining acceptance criteria

• Structured problem-solving skills and experience with NCRs and root cause analysis

• Clear communication skills and proficient English (written and spoken) for cross‑functional collaboration
