ROLE HIGHLIGHTS: - Senior AOCS System Engineer - Location: Warsaw, Poland - Department: Engineering - Reports to: Jakub Lisowski, Engineering Manager - Employment type: Permanent - Workplace model: Hybrid ( 2- 3 days onsite at our Warsaw office) - Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required) WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS: The Mission of the AOCS Systems Engineer   You ensure that our satellites always point towards the right direction enabling high-quality images. This role is within AOCS Domain where we are responsible for maintaining attitude and orbit. Your job will be to work closely with production teams, operation teams and software teams to ensure smooth and performant operation of our ADCS and propulsion systems in orbit and on ground. Expect to be involved in the complete lifecycle of the system - from design phases of future ICEYE satellite generations to maintenance of existing systems we, and our customers operate. You will have a chance to have a direct impact on our mission success as performance and reliability of the AOCS system directly affects the amount and quality of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data we deliver to our customers.     WHO WE ARE ICEYE is the world leader in sovereign intelligence from space. We deliver persistent monitoring capabilities to detect and respond to changes in any location on Earth.   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.   Founded and headquartered in Finland, ICEYE operates globally with over 1000 employees across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. YOUR DAY-TO-DAY RESPONSIBILITIES   - Expected Outcomes: 1. Increased Imaging Performance and Mission Success. You will help driving the performance of our AOCS systems by: - Driving selection of future AOCS hardware components. - Characterizing and validating existing AOCS performance by designing and executing in-orbit experiments and analyzing telemetry data with the help of analysis software you develop. - Developing software tools to predict performance of our future AOCS systems. 2. Maximized AOCS Availability. You will ensure that our systems perform as expected within their design envelope by: - Maintaining verification procedures and working closely with production and testing teams in implementing process improvements and new test jigs. - Debugging on-orbit anomalies requiring deep system system understanding and systematic approach towards pinning the root-cause. Understanding an anomaly is a first step towards preventing it in the future. - Supporting software teams in implementing changes to software to prevent repetition of known issues. - Work on software tools helping debug AOCS anomalies as they happen.   3. Robust and Predictable AOCS Operations. You will help the team establish and evolve internal processes for anomaly handling and resolution.   WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR Must haves: - Thinking from a first-principles mindset - your work will often involve resolving in-orbit anomalies, which you will need to tackle in a systematic manner to understand their root-cause and propose solutions to mitigate those in the future. - Strong understanding of AOCS fundamentals: rigid body motion, differential equations, coordinate transformations, 3d geometry, feedback loops, state estimation. Basic understanding of orbital dynamics. - Strong understanding of un
