As a Technical Program Manager you will support the delivery of complex Satellite Mission programs end-to-end with deep technical ownership, ensuring customer success, on-time execution, and scalable delivery excellence.

You will work across the Portfolio focusing on the technical thread of customer missions—from requirements capture through system acceptance and delivery—acting as the technical authority/interface between the customer and ICEYE's engineering, product, and operations teams. Your role bridges program governance and system engineering: ensuring mission requirements are understood, flowed down, tracked, and validated, while maintaining configuration control and driving cross-functional technical alignment throughout the program lifecycle.

This role directly contributes to ICEYE's ambition to become the leading provider of space-based ISR infrastructure by scaling reliable, high-impact mission delivery globally.

The role will be based in Finland or Poland at the ICEYE facility. Travel to customer sites is required.

• Demonstrated involvement in system integration, verification and validation (V&V) planning and execution, including acceptance testing campaigns
• Strong cross-functional technical coordination skills across engineering, product, and operations disciplines
• Experience of carrying out analysis and mission design using software packages such as STK, SaVoir, MONTE or GMAT
• Excellent communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences, including formal reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, DRR)
• Degree in engineering, systems engineering, computer science, or a related technical field
• Must have or be able to obtain required security clearances

• Experience in Earth Observation (EO), SAR, or remote sensing
• Background in space mission systems or satellite ground segment development
• Experience working with government or defence customers on classified or sovereign programs
