ICEYE is seeking a Power Electronics Engineer to join the HAPS (High Altitude Platform Systems) program, contributing to the design of power subsystems for stratospheric electric aircraft. This is a hardware-focused role spanning circuit design, lab bring-up, and verification testing.
You will own defined subsystems end-to-end, from requirements definition through schematic design, hardware bring-up, verification testing, and documentation for readiness review. Day-to-day responsibilities include battery testing and characterization at cell and pack levels (capacity, impedance, cycling, safety qualification); solar array integration with electrical interface definition and validation; power electronics design including protection circuits, bus tie units with current sensing and MCU telemetry, and DC-DC converters; board-level bring-up and system integration testing under nominal and fault conditions; and production of design documentation, test reports, and requirement compliance records.
Required skills: demonstrated experience in power electronics design for battery and/or solar-powered systems with DC-DC converter topology knowledge; practical hardware bring-up and debugging experience using oscilloscopes, electronic loads, power supplies, and battery cyclers; lithium-ion battery systems expertise including characterization, safety limits, and thermal behavior; solar/photovoltaic array integration and electrical interfacing; proficiency with schematic capture and PCB design tools (preferably Altium Designer); embedded systems experience applied to power electronics with telemetry and microcontroller interfaces; strong technical writing for design documentation and traceability records; ability to work independently while coordinating within a small technical team.
Nice-to-have skills include aerospace or high-reliability electronics program experience, component derating and EMI/EMC design familiarity, embedded communication protocols (CAN, I2C), and power delivery network analysis.
ICEYE is a 900+ person global scale-up delivering space-based ISR capabilities via synthetic aperture radar satellite technology to governments and allied nations. The company operates offices across Finland, Poland, Spain, Japan, UAE, Greece, Germany, and the US, focusing on near real-time Earth observation data for defense, intelligence, security, and maritime domain awareness.
