ROLE HIGHLIGHTS: Senior Optomechanical Engineer - Location: Warsaw, Poland - Department: Engineering / Optical Systems - Reports to: Mechanical Engineering Team Lead - Employment type: Permanent - Workplace model: Hybrid - Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required) WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS: As Senior Optomechanical Engineer, you will be the critical link between optical and mechanical engineering, turning advanced optical designs into flight-ready mechanical structures for ICEYE's satellite payloads. Working hands-on across CAD, materials and precision mechanics, you will own the mechanical design of optomechanical assemblies through every stage of the product lifecycle, from concept and prototyping to manufacturing, integration, testing, and qualification for space. You will ensure that performance, precision, and alignment are preserved as an optical design moves from the design file to a finished satellite instrument. 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   - Own the mechanical side of the optical payload's development, from early concept work through prototyping, and into production, integration, and pre-launch qualification, working hands-on on CAD design, analysis, and optimization throughout. - Sit at the interface between the optical and mechanical domain, reading and interpreting optical designs so that the mechanical structures, mounts, and adjustment mechanisms you build preserve their performance once assembled and tested. - Build and maintain close working relationships with external manufacturers and subcontractors, so that the components and mechanisms they deliver meet the precision, alignment, and quality the design calls for. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR Must haves: - Expert knowledge and hands-on skills of mechanical CAD design, analysis and optimization including all phases of the project from the concept up to material and structural analysis. - Familiarity with the material science and engineering being able to guide material selection and analysis for the space environment (outgassing, thermal cycling, thermoelastic effects). - Embracing the challenge, mindset of owning problems and solving them, capability of taking risks and leaning forward when needed. R&D style of learning by doing and iterating on the parts that require improvement. - Experience in delivering design through suppliers - proven record of working directly together with manufacturers and subcontractors in order to get the design delivered to production, verified and validated. Nice to haves: - Exposure to space optics. - Experience with TVAC and vibration testing, and pre-launch qualification campaigns. - Experience selecting and qualifying optical components together with manufacturers. - Knowledge of metrology and measurement techniques for precisely actuated systems, including optical profiling and CMM methods.
