WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS:
As an Electrical Harness Design Engineer, you will own the satellite’s electrical harness architecture - ensuring every interface is reliable, manufacturable, and ready for spaceflight. By defining and controlling all electrical connections under strict configuration management, and collaborating closely with mechanical design and manufacturing teams, you enable seamless system integration and mission-ready hardware.
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 global security and community resilience.
ICEYE is headquartered in Finland and operates globally across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. We have more than 900 employees, united by a shared vision: improving life on Earth by becoming the global source of truth in Earth Observation.
WHAT WILL YOU DO IN THIS ROLE?
At ICEYE, every satellite is a marriage of precision engineering and robust reliability. The harnesses are the nervous system of our spacecraft - ensuring connectivity, resilience, and seamless integration of subsystems.
As Electrical Harness Design Engineer, you’ll be responsible for the electrical harness design and play a pivotal role in ensuring interfaces are reliable, manufacturable, and space-ready.
You will specify our satellite electrical connections and keep them under configuration control. You will collaborate with our Mechanical Harness Design Engineer, in charge of the cable routing, as well with our harness manufacturing team.
YOUR DAY-TO-DAY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Create the pin to pin harness specifications for our new satellites generations.
- Keep the all the satellite harness specifications under configuration control.
- Maintain and improve the harness design for our existing satellite configurations in production.
- Support the RnD projects and their milestones (CDR/PDR and other reviews).
- Apply EMC/EMI good practices in the harness design.
- Define the grounding strategy for our satellites.
- Collaborate with system and subsystem engineers to define harness requirements and support interface reviews.
- Interface with our satellite production line.
