Senior AOCS Systems Engineer Engineering Espoo Permanent Office / Hybrid Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO) The Mission of the Senior AOCS Systems Engineer You ensure that our satellites always point towards the right direction enabling high-quality images. This role is within AOCS Domain where we are responsible for maintaining attitude and orbit. Your job will be to work closely with production teams, operation teams and software teams to ensure smooth and performant operation of our ADCS and propulsion systems in orbit and on ground. Expect to be involved in the complete lifecycle of the system - from design phases of future ICEYE satellite generations to maintenance of existing systems we, and our customers operate. You will have a chance to have a direct impact on our mission success as performance and reliability of the AOCS system directly affects the amount and quality of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data we deliver to our customers. 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 operates internationally with offices in Finland, Poland, Spain, Japan, the UAE, Greece, and the US. The company has more than 900 employees, inspired by the shared vision of improving life on Earth by becoming the global source of truth in Earth Observation. Expected outcomes of the role: Maximized AOCS Availability. You will ensure that our systems perform as expected within their design envelope by: Maintaining verification procedures and working closely with production and testing teams in implementing process improvements and new test jigs. Debugging on-orbit anomalies requiring deep system system understanding and systematic approach towards pinning the root-cause. Understanding an anomaly is a first step towards preventing it in the future. Supporting software teams in implementing changes to software to prevent repetition of known issues. Work on software tools helping debug AOCS anomalies as they happen. Increased Imaging Performance and Mission Success . You will help driving the performance of our AOCS systems by: Driving selection of future AOCS hardware components. Characterizing and validating existing AOCS performance by designing and executing in-orbit experiments and analyzing telemetry data with the help of analysis software you develop. Developing software tools to predict performance of our future AOCS systems. Robust and Predictable AOCS Operations. You will help the team establish and evolve internal processes for anomaly handling and resolution. 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. Strong understanding of AOCS fundamentals: rigid body motion, differential equations, coordinate transformations, 3d geometry, feedback loops, state estimation. Basic understanding of orbital dynamics. Strong understanding of underlying principles of operation and failure modes of sensors and actuators used in AOCS: reaction wheels, magnetorquers, star trackers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, GNSS. Strong understanding of performance drivers of AOCS systems. Proven track record of owning cross-domain systems involving feedback control loops over their complete lifecycle including maintenance and operations. 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 Proficiency in Python, C++ or Matlab.
