Why this role matters:

ICEYE is seeking a Team Lead, AIT Engineering to lead the AIT Engineering function responsible for the assembly, integration, and testing of satellite systems and optical payloads.

This is a technical leadership and people management role in an early-stage production environment, where products, processes, and manufacturing capabilities are continuously evolving. You will lead and develop the AIT Engineering team while acting as the technical focal point for AIT activities during spacecraft builds and integration campaigns.

The role sits at the interface between Engineering and Production. You will work closely with optical, mechanical, electrical, systems, quality, and production teams to translate design intent into robust, manufacturable, integrable, and testable processes, while ensuring that feedback and issues identified during production are effectively driven back into Engineering.

You will also support the integration and validation of externally supplied optical payloads, working with internal engineering teams and external suppliers to ensure successful integration into the satellite platform.

The role requires a strong background in spacecraft AIT, system integration, or complex hardware integration, combined with the ability to lead people, coordinate technical activities, develop robust processes, and drive execution in a fast-paced production environment.
