Senior Targeting Analyst

Role highlights:

• Senior Targeting Analyst

• Location: Espoo, Finland

• Department: Solutions Operations

• Reports to: Meteorology Manager

• Employment type: Permanent

• Workplace model: Hybrid

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

Why this role matters:

As a Senior Targeting Analyst, you'll own the tasking systems and methodologies behind Wildfire, Earthquake, and Persistent Monitoring change detection. You'll work through satellite capacity, geometry, and scheduling trade-offs to make scalable, defensible decisions. You'll be the on-shift point of expertise when things go wrong, and you’ll help build the frameworks that move these perils toward automation, and shape how ICEYE monitors change across the planet as new products and methods take form.

Who We Are

ICEYE is the world leader in sovereign intelligence from space. We deliver persistent monitoring capabilities to detect and respond to changes in any location on Earth.

ICEYE owns the world's largest and most advanced SAR (synthetic aperture radar) satellite constellation. To our customers we provide intelligence with unmatched quality, latency and revisit times, in any weather, day or night. To governments who choose to operate their own constellation we provide this proven capability as a sovereign system.

ICEYE-built constellations serve customers in defence and intelligence, environmental monitoring, insurance and emergency management. We enable fast decisions that contribute to a safer future.

Founded and headquartered in Finland, ICEYE operates globally with over 1000 employees across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.

Your day-to-day responsibilities

• Contribute to tasking methodology for Wildfire, Earthquake, and Persistent Monitoring Change Detection, helping build the systems that keep it scalable

• Conduct AOI fitness and tasking scenario analysis, assessing suitability, constellation capacity, and optimal modes and geometry for Product requirements

• Serve as the expert on tasking and monitoring methods, working with Solutions Product teams with input on concepts and programmatic approaches

• Support post-event evaluation for non-meteorological events that reach trigger threshold, using RCA to identify root causes and partnering with meteorology, operations, and product teams on fixes

• Contribute in a hands-on way to methodology development for Peril monitoring and tracking, including R&D on new products as requested using ICEYE’s available tooling.

Must haves:

• Demonstrated technical proficiency in QGIS (including geospatial analysis), Python, and data analysis

• Experience interpreting and aggregating data to develop trigger points, such as activation thresholds from historical events

• Comfortable optimising a dynamic, fast-changing situation and managing tasks independently

• Strong systems thinking, with experience developing methodologies that support a transition to automation

• Strong operational communication skills

• Experience identifying and escalating process gaps or inefficiencies
