Senior AOCS/Robotics Engineer. The Mission of the AOCS Software & GNC Engineer: You ensure that our satellites always point towards the right direction enabling high-quality images. This role is essential for maximizing the operational time and performance of ICEYE's satellite constellations. By improving satellite agility, optimizing pointing accuracy, and ensuring the reliability of the Attitude and Orbit Control Systems (AOCS), this role directly increases the quality of the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data we deliver to our customers. This is the core "why" - to elevate our mission success and make our services consistently available. The Senior AOCS/Robotics Engineer acts as the ultimate guardian of AOCS health and predictability. The role achieves this by proactively enhancing hardware selection and anomaly resolution processes, and by bringing deep, systematic control systems expertise to troubleshooting in-orbit issues. Crucially, the engineer will also make AOCS knowledge clear across the organization, enabling faster, data-driven decisions that strengthen the entire engineering team and standardize reliable operations.
Job Responsibility:
Maximized AOCS Availability: By careful hardware selection, systemic improvements to automatic anomaly resolution processes and finally going hands-on with an oscilloscope in electronics lab the role ensures that satellite constellations delivered by ICEYE are operational and always available for imaging
Increased Imaging Performance and Mission Success: The role will directly drive higher quality SAR data and mission success by optimizing satellite agility and pointing accuracy through hardware selection and systemic improvements
Enhanced Organizational AOCS Proficiency: By making AOCS domain knowledge transparent and accessible across the organization, the role will foster data-driven decision-making and enable more efficient, informed cross-functional support, ultimately making the entire organization more effective
Robust and Predictable AOCS Operations: The establishment of well-defined and accepted processes for anomaly handling, resolution, and AOCS component acceptance ensures predictable, reliable, and standardized operations
Requirements:
Thinking from a first-principles mindset - your work will often involve resolving in-orbit anomalies, which you will need to tackle in a systematic manner to understand their root-cause and propose solutions to mitigate those in the future
Proven track record of owning cross-domain systems involving feedback control loops over their complete lifecycle
Understanding of AOCS fundamentals - what are the functions the system performs, under what assumptions and constraints it operates, and how their violation impacts performance and stability
Understanding of control fundamentals and state estimation
Demonstrated broad knowledge across multiple engineering disciplines including controls, mechanical and electronics. AOCS is an electromechanical system in the and requires broad perspective to understand it fully
