SUPO)Why this role matters:This role is critical to ensuring the successful development and delivery of ICEYE’s radar payload systems by providing strong leadership, coordination, and alignment across a highly skilled multidisciplinary team. As Team Lead / Engineering Manager, you will enable technical experts to perform at their best by guiding project execution, maintaining clear communication, and bridging the gap between complex engineering work and broader organizational goals. Your combination of hands-on electronics or RF engineering experience and leadership capability ensures that both people and projects move forward efficiently, supporting the continued advancement of ICEYE’s satellite payload technology.Who We AreICEYE 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.
