Integration and Test AIT engineer

Role Highlights:

• Title: Integration and Test AIT engineer

• Department: Global Manufacturing Organization

• Reports to: AIT Engineering Team Lead

• Location: Espoo, Finland

• Type of Contract: Permanent

• Working model: On-site

• Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required)

ICEYE is seeking a Systems Integration & Testing AIT Engineer to act as the first point of contact for non-conformances arising across our AIT engineering team during spacecraft assembly, integration, and testing campaigns. This is a hands-on coordination and technical role for an engineer with solid cross-domain experience, strong prioritization instincts, and the ability to drive issue resolution efficiently in a fast-paced, multi-project production environment.

What you will do

• Act as first containment for all NCs raised during AIT campaigns — triage, document, and assess each issue before routing or resolving

• Support production when required as part of the mitigation

• Resolve NCs directly when within your technical capability; hand over to the relevant domain AIT engineer with a complete, actionable NCR when not

• Initiate and follow the issue resolution process when resolution requires cross-domain, customer, or management involvement, ensuring the right people are engaged at the right time

• Ensure issue resolution and implementation of preventive actions, closing the loop across domains and verifying that corrective measures are effective and traceable

• Track open NCs across all domains, maintain visibility of the overall issue landscape, and escalate items at risk of impacting the test schedule or critical path

• Contribute to test readiness reviews, integration milestones, and campaign go/no-go decisions

• Identify recurring issues and systemic risks across domains; feed findings back into process and design improvements

• Represent AIT Engineering in cross-functional meetings and project reviews

• Produce and maintain technical documentation including NCRs, test reports, and issue resolution records

• Support the Technology Transfer to Production process

What you bring
Must have

• At least 5 years of hands-on experience in AIT, systems integration, or a related engineering role in a complex hardware environment

• Broad technical understanding across satellite subsystems

• Strong prioritization skills and prompt response to incoming issues — able to manage multiple concurrent NCs, assess criticality and schedule impact, and make clear, justified decisions under time pressure

• Familiarity with NC and NCR processes, root cause analysis, and corrective action workflows in a high-reliability hardware environment

• A systems engineering mindset — able to spot cross-domain interface risks, connect the dots between an anomaly and its potential system-level impact, and know when to escalate

• Clear, structured communication skills — written and spoken English — with the ability to interface effectively with domain engineers, production leads, and project management

• Experience writing technical documentation including NCRs, test records, and issue reports

• Able to work across multiple projects simultaneously without losing track of open actions

Nice to have

• Experience in spacecraft AIT or satellite production environments

• Familiarity with issue tracking and configuration management tools

• Familiarity with Python or AI-assisted tools for productivity and process improvement

• Exposure to FRACAS, IVV processes, or formal verification and validation frameworks

• Ability to rapidly synthesize complex cross-domain information and communicate conclusions clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences

• Resilience and composure when managing competing priorities in high-pressure test campaigns

Application Process

• Talent Acquisition Interview

• Hiring Manager General Interview

• Technical Interview (onsite or virtual), including a Technical Challenge

• Hiring Team + Director-level Interview

• Offer Decision
