Who are we?

ICEYE is an International Earth Observation company headquartered in Finland with colleagues from over 57 countries.

ICEYE is building and operating its commercial constellation of small Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites with SAR data available to customers. 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.

You are expected to be supporting and empowering your engineering team every step of the way. You'll be their ultimate ally, providing them with the clarity, guidance, and processes needed to achieve top-notch results efficiently. This isn't just any role—it's a pivotal one, with immense responsibility and visibility. It's yours to shape and drive to new heights.

Your mission? Define and chart the course for the Flight Software roadmap, ensuring it aligns tightly with all our commercial products, from Missions to Data to internal operations, as well as with other components in the full end-to-end system covering both space and ground based components. Dive deep into the technical architecture, contributing valuable insights to shape future discussions, especially in response to customer needs.

But it doesn't stop there. You'll be the bridge between customer demands and our product roadmap, translating feedback into actionable plans with precision. As the beacon of truth, you'll communicate the Flight Software roadmap clearly across the organization and collaborate with commercial teams in bid processes, showcasing ICEYE's capabilities directly to clients.

When it's time to face clients, you'll be the face of ICEYE in Flight Software related discussions, confidently discussing the Flight Software capabilities and roadmap, and representing our expertise. Behind the scenes, you'll motivate your team, ensuring their focus remains sharp as they drive execution forward. From reviewing delivery statuses to refining scopes, you'll be there every step of the way, ensuring excellence is achieved.
