As an FPGA Engineer at ICEYE, your mission is to design and maintain critical FPGA components for our SAR satellites, ensuring high performance and reliability. You will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to drive innovation in satellite technology.

ICEYE is the global leader in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite operations for Earth Observation, persistent monitoring, and natural catastrophe solutions; owning and operating the world's largest SAR constellation. ICEYE is headquartered in Finland and operates from five international locations with more than 600 employees from nearly 60 countries, inspired by the shared vision of improving life on Earth by becoming the global source of truth in Earth Observation.

Our satellites acquire images of Earth at any time – even when it's cloudy or dark – providing commercial and government partners with unmatched persistent monitoring capabilities. Information derived from our SAR images helps customers make data-driven decisions to address time-critical challenges in various sectors, such as maritime, disaster management, insurance, and finance.

Our team is a tight-knit group of experts across many disciplines (e.g., engineering, software development, radar technology, etc.). We're innovative, driven people who strive for excellence in everything we do. Teamwork, curiosity, and having fun are core values at ICEYE, and contribute to Making the Impossible possible!!

ICEYE is at the cutting edge of new technology and we are continuing to build and operate our commercial constellation of SAR satellites. Working with ICEYE, you will be part of making the impossible possible, whilst shaping the Earth Observation industry. You will work with varied, diverse and engaged colleagues to further the ICEYE mission. At ICEYE we realise that without great people we can not succeed, therefore you will be an integral, valued and appreciated colleague, with the ability to directly shape the vision and direction of the business.

We actively support Continuous Professional Development, and will provide access to a range of avenues to allow you to succeed, including courses, training and attendance at conferences. ICEYE is a place where your development, your growth and your success is a priority.

As an engineer in ICEYE's FPGA team you will be responsible for the design, development and maintenance of FPGA components running on ICEYE satellites. We are a small tight knit group of engineers with a very high impact on the performance and reliability of the radar, downlinking system, TT&C and ADCS onboard our growing fleet. Our engineers are expected to quickly pick up new skills and be able to perform in various FPGA technology applications. We work closely with embedded Linux and userspace software engineers and multidisciplinary teams which are responsible for specific sensors, subsystems and data processing/image formation.

Daily tasks include prototyping and development of new features of the satellite, working on core technologies that enable efficient maintenance, coordinating tests on-orbit, bringing up new advanced embedded systems and working with hardware and software teams on new concepts and projects.
