- Strong appreciation for governance, security, and auditability: comfortable working in an environment where data isolation, least-privilege access, approval gates, and verifiable audit trails are non-negotiable.
- Strong proficiency in Python (e.g., FastAPI) and/or TypeScript/React, plus solid relational database skills (PostgreSQL, schema isolation, migrations).
- Practical Cloud & DevOps experience on AWS (e.g., ECS/Fargate or containers, IAM, networking/ALB, RDS/Aurora) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Docker, automated testing and security checks) and AI-assisted engineering tools (Cursor, Claude Code) plus practical LLM API integration.
- Pragmatic communicator: comfortable working directly with business stakeholders to scope ambiguous problems, while holding a high bar for engineering quality under the hood.
Nice to haves:
- Experience integrating with enterprise systems and APIs such as HRIS/ATS (HiBob, Ashby), CRM (Salesforce), data platforms (Databricks), or Slack/GitHub Apps.
- Hands-on familiarity with security and compliance controls in cloud environments (OIDC/OAuth2, IAM database authentication, KMS encryption, Checkov/IaC scanning, Splunk/audit logging).
- Prior experience mentoring junior engineers and reviewing code/architecture on a fast-moving team.

Location: Espoo
Workplace: Hybrid
ROLE HIGHLIGHTS:
- Staff Engineer - Satellite Communications
- Location: Espoo, Finland
- Department: Fleet Control and Satellite Communications
- Reports to: Director, Fleet Control and Satellite Communications
- Employment type: Permanent
- Workplace model: Hybrid. 3 days a week at the office
- Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required)
WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS:
As a Staff Engineer in Satellite Communications, you will own the satellite-to-ground link, the core communications protocols, and the end-to-end transmission of data from ground stations to customers. Trend is that our constellation produces an increasing volume of data and we want it down faster and more reliably. As we scale, the communications link sets the limit on what we deliver and how fast customers receive it.
You'll own the end-to-end communication stack: the satellite-to-ground link (X-band, Ka-band and S-band), the underlying protocols used, and the transmission of data from ground stations to customers. Today these decisions are spread across several teams. This role brings them under one technical owner.
The work sits where software meets physics. On one side are link budgets, modulation and coding, and spectrum constraints; on the other are schedulers, distributed systems and production operations. The hardest problems live where the two meet.
You own what you build, from design to production, across a stack that combines cloud, on-prem and real hardware. Our engineering culture is AI-positive, with active use of copilots and LLMs to improve speed, code quality and productivity.
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.

- Build alongside software engineers, contributing code and reviews, not only architecture documents
- Lead technical initiatives across team boundaries and align teams on link and data path decisions
- Grow satellite communications expertise across the domain through mentoring, design reviews and shared standards
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
MUST HAVES:
- Communications engineering on at least one flown mission, including personally diagnosing an anomaly on a live satellite.
- High-rate payload downlink experience in X-band or Ka-band, beyond S-band command and control
- Ability to build and defend a link budget: EIRP, G/T, Eb/N0, margin, rain fade, elevation constraints
- Practical CCSDS knowledge: transfer frames, virtual channels, synchronisation and channel coding, file delivery
- Experience owning how data moves from a ground station to where it is consumed, with latency and completeness guarantees
- Hands-on coding in Python, Go, C++ or similar; you ship code, not just designs.
NICE TO HAVES:
- Active use of AI-assisted development tools (e.g., copilots, LLMs) to improve productivity, code quality, and problem-solving
- Fleet-scale contact planning and scheduling across commercial ground station networks, especially leased third-party capacity
