SUPO, where required) Why this role matters: As a Senior Smart Manufacturing Engineer, Mechanical, you will play a key role in how ICEYE builds satellites at scale. You will design and own critical mechanical and electromechanical systems from Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (MGSE) to production test jigs that keep our production lines safe, efficient and reliable. Working in a multi‑disciplinary Smart Manufacturing Engineering team, you’ll set standards, mentor others, and help us anticipate and remove bottlenecks as we continue to scale our operations. 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.

Develop production test jigs and verification systems (e.g. fixtures, subsystem assembly jigs, custom rigs) in close collaboration with electronics and software engineers. Take designs from concept through detailed CAD, documentation, manufacturing support and commissioning on the production floor. Define and improve standards, frameworks and documentation practices for mechanical and mechatronic designs within Smart Manufacturing Engineering. Proactively identify current and future bottlenecks in production processes and propose data‑driven mitigation plans. Mentor and support junior and mid‑level engineers, providing design reviews, feedback and guidance on best practices. Collaborate closely with Production, AIT Engineering and other Engineering teams to ensure systems are robust, maintainable and aligned with operational needs. Contribute to roadmaps and prioritisation for production systems, helping the team focus on the highest‑impact projects. Must haves: 6–8+ years of experience in mechanical or electromechanical engineering, focused on production systems, test equipment, or similar. Proven track record designing and delivering mechanical / support equipment such as MGSE, lifting systems, dollies or fixtures for large, high‑value hardware. Hands‑on experience designing and implementing production test jigs or verification systems (e.g. fixtures for electronics testing, flying probe interfaces, custom test rigs). Solid understanding of how mechanics, electronics and software/controls fit together and comfortable collaborating closely with electronics and software engineers. Strong CAD skills and experience taking designs from concept through detailed design, manufacturing and on‑site commissioning. Experience in at least one high‑reliability or complex production domain (e.g. space, aerospace, automotive, robotics, industrial automation). Demonstrated seniority: leading projects, taking end‑to‑end ownership and mentoring junior engineers. Willingness and ability to work onsite in Espoo in production and integration environments. Nice to haves Experience with satellite or spacecraft integration and MGSE. Experience working across multiple production sites or in a global manufacturing context. Knowledge of lean manufacturing and/or Six Sigma tools and practices. Experience introducing or improving design frameworks, templates and documentation standards in an engineering organisation.
