Satellite RF Senior Technician

As a Satellite RF Senior Technician, you play a vital role in proving that every satellite's radar payload meets aerospace quality standards before it leaves our Valencia production line. You will operate our Anechoic Chamber, execute RF payload verification and antenna characterization, and validate SAR radar performance using specialized high-frequency instrumentation. Your work gives ICEYE dedicated, high-quality RF test capability on the line, alongside our systems and software verification team.

• Prepare, mount, and operate satellites inside the Anechoic Chamber for RF payload testing and antenna characterization.

• Set up and operate high-frequency RF instrumentation, including spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers, RF signal generators, and power meters.

• Execute manual and automated RF test scripts to measure gain, phase, frequency response, power output, and link budgets.

• Diagnose and troubleshoot RF path, signal integrity, and payload subsystem anomalies, distinguishing test/cabling setup issues from genuine unit faults.

• Document test outcomes, maintain calibration records, and generate non-conformance reports (NCRs) in Jira.

• Operate mechanical and electrical ground support equipment (GSE) to ensure smooth chamber test operations.

• Assist in managing activities related to satellite launch campaigns.

• Actively contribute to continuous improvement initiatives - procedures, processes, tools, and 6S.
