Senior AIT Engineer

• Lead and execute satellite assembly, integration, and test (AIT) activities for missions built at the Valencia site
• Act as a technical point of contact for subsystem integration, ensuring manufacturability, testability, and configuration consistency across builds
• Support production readiness and design reviews (e.g., PRR, CDR), ensuring designs are mature and ready for seamless transition into production
• Perform and guide system-level verification and validation, including functional, environmental, and EMC test campaigns
• Troubleshoot and resolve integration issues, coordinating with design, manufacturing, and test engineers to ensure schedule and quality adherence
• Provide hands-on support on the production floor, ensuring correct assembly, harness routing, alignment, and test setup execution
• Contribute to and improve AIT documentation, including test procedures, integration plans, checklists, and configuration records
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives in integration methods, test efficiency, and build reliability
• Support root cause analysis and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence of integration or test anomalies
• Interface with the Global AIT and Engineering teams to ensure alignment on product standards, process updates, and lessons learned
• Mentor and support local engineers and technicians, sharing AIT best practices and fostering a culture of quality and accountability
• Champion ICEYE’s commitment to safety, reliability, and continuous learning during all integration and test activities

• Proven - at least 7 years - of hands-on experience in the integration, testing, or production of complex hardware systems (e.g., satellites, aerospace, defense or automotive)
• Proven ability to work in multidisciplinary engineering environments, collaborating across mechanical, electrical, software, and systems domains
• Deep technical expertise in at least one discipline (e.g., mechanical integration, electrical systems, or RF) with solid understanding across others
• Strong system-level mindset, able to understand how subsystems interact, anticipate integration challenges, and maintain end-to-end traceability
• Practical experience with design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-testability (DFT) principles
• Familiarity with test and verification processes, environmental testing (vibration, thermal vacuum, EMC), and configuration management
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot, analyse root causes, and implement feedback loops to improve design and production outcomes
• Clear and confident communication skills. Able to collaborate effectively with engineering, production, and management stakeholders
• Proactive, hands-on attitude with a passion for building reliable spacecraft hardware at scale
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, iterative production environment, balancing precision, agility, and safety
• Strong command of English (spoken and written)
• Spanish language skills are a plus
