Electrical Harness Design Engineer

Description

Electrical Harness Design Engineer Location: Espoo, Finland Department: Electrical Engineering Reports to: Lead Electrical Engineer Employment type: Permanent Workplace model: Hybrid

Why this role matters:

As an Electrical Harness Design Engineer, you will design and optimize electrical harnesses for ICEYE's SAR satellites. You'll work on complex wiring systems, power distribution, and signal integrity—ensuring reliability and performance in the harsh space environment. Your designs will directly impact satellite functionality, power efficiency, and mission success.

Who We Are

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 a safer and more sustainable world.
