Senior Electronics R&D Test Engineer

Location: Warsaw, Poland
Department: Optical Systems
Reports to: Engineering Manager, Optical Systems
Employment type: Permanent
Workplace model: Hybrid
Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required)

Why this role matters

As Senior Electronics R&D Test Engineer, you will lead electrical AIT for ICEYE's new generation of optical spacecraft, qualifying subsystems and full satellites and debugging the electronics and software issues that surface along the way. You will build and run the EGSE these campaigns depend on, and feed what you find on the test floor back into the design itself, working closely with the engineering teams responsible for it.

Your day-to-day responsibilities

Run subsystem qualification and functional testing, and spacecraft-level system testing, for the new generation of optical satellites.
Debug electronics and software issues as they arise, carrying out root cause analysis on failures.
Design and build the Electronics Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) needed to test and integrate the new spacecraft generation.
Support next-generation spacecraft integration, creating the AIT procedures used to run it and transferring that knowledge to the production team.
Feed testing and integration findings back to the design engineering teams, from early concept through late prototyping, and drive the design changes that come out of it.

Must haves

Hands-on experience in the development, integration, testing, or production of complex electronics systems
Strong debugging skills across both electronics and software.
AIT experience spanning both software and electronics.
Working knowledge of Python.
A can-do attitude and willingness to learn.
Comfortable working under pressure and tight timelines, since test and integration campaigns can involve intense, demanding periods.
Strong communication skills in English (written and spoken).

Nice to haves

Experience with environmental testing, such as thermal or vibration testing.
Experience in design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-testability (DFT) in high-reliability environments.
Experience scaling test systems for production environments.
Experience in harness design
