The role

As a Production Technician, Harness, you build the electrical backbone of ICEYE's satellites.

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.

What you'll do

  • Manufacture satellite wiring harnesses and cable assemblies from wire tables and drawings, including cutting, stripping, crimping, soldering, shielding, lacing, and protective coverings

  • Install, route, and secure harnesses onto satellite assemblies alongside the integration team, respecting bend radii, strain relief, and routing standards

  • Verify your work through continuity, insulation resistance, pin retention, and visual inspection against defined acceptance criteria

  • Build to IPC/WHMA-A-620 workmanship standards, with training and certification provided

  • Strictly follow work instructions, travelers, and checklists, completing all documentation accurately and in real time

  • Identify and report build or process deviations immediately, raising NCRs and supporting root cause analysis with accurate technical observations

  • Kit, label, and identify parts correctly, maintaining full traceability throughout the build

  • Carry out general electronics lab tasks as needed

  • Maintain a clean, organised, and audit-ready work environment compliant with ESD, safety, and cleanliness standards
