- **Company:** Iceye-built

## About the Role

* Hands-on test experience in an electronics, RF, space or comparable hardware lab: test setups, procedures, execution and reporting
 * Comfort with lab instruments (oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers, signal generators, power supplies) and basic RF practice (connectors, attenuators, cable loss)
 * Scripting for test automation and data analysis, typically Python
 * An organised and rigorous way of working: you write things down, version them, and can reproduce last month's result
 * Clear written English

Nice to haves:

 * Satellite AIT, flatsat or hardware-in-the-loop testing
 * SDR experience, RF capture or signal analysis
 * Test automation frameworks, CI pipelines, instrument control (SCPI/VISA)
 * Test data management, databases, dashboards
 * Verification under a formal process (ECSS or similar)
 * Experience setting up a lab from scratch: equipment selection, layout, safety, calibration programme
 * Spanish, for working with local suppliers and facilities
 * Eligibility for national security clearance (an advantage)

## Description

* Plan and run tests across all three lab missions: end-to-end simulation runs, emitter capture sessions, playback and channel simulator campaigns, flatsat and receiver tests, and algorithm validation.
 * Write procedures and automate them: turn manual setups into scripted, repeatable test sequences, and add them to regression so each software or firmware build is checked.
 * Set up and maintain the lab: instruments, SDRs, cabling, fixtures, the screened enclosure and emitter bays, network and compute. Track calibration, configuration and inventory so every result records what produced it.
 * Manage test data: keep recordings, run outputs and metadata organised, searchable and backed up, with the provenance to reproduce a result.
 * Analyse and report: compare results to expectations and to previous runs, flag regressions and anomalies, write concise test reports, and log issues with the evidence needed to fix them.
 * Support campaigns in the field and in the air, customer and partner demonstrations, and the reproduction of on-orbit anomalies on the ground.
 * Run the lab safely: RF safety, ESD, equipment handling, access control and the handling rules for controlled material., * 6 months: lab equipment is inventoried, calibrated and configuration-tracked, and capture and playback sessions run from written procedures, with data stored and findable.
 * 12 months: core tests are automated and running in regression, test reports are produced routinely, and you've supported the first field campaign.
 * 24 months: the lab runs as a service. Other teams book and run tests with your procedures, and results arrive with the evidence attached., Make the impossible possible: We set ambitious goals and stay calm under pressure. We bring grit, optimism, and ownership when things get hard, and we keep moving until we find a way.
 * Be curious: Go deep, ask questions, listen carefully, and think critically. Understand the "why" behind decisions.
 * See the big picture: Stay close to what's happening across the company so you can make better decisions. Consider how your work affects others.
 * Drive effective teamwork: Create psychological safety, invite different perspectives, and build inclusive teams. There are no bad questions.
 * Act as one team: We win together. We match tasks to the right owner and stay agile as priorities shift.
 * Have fun: What we do matters-and it should be enjoyable. Celebrate progress, take pride in results, and share the wins.
