ICEYE delivers space-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to governments and allied nations.
The company operates the world's largest SAR satellite constellation.
Offices in Finland, Poland, Spain, Japan, the UAE, Greece, Germany, and the US, with more than 900 employees.
Responsibilities
Battery testing and characterization: cell and pack level testing, including capacity, impedance, and cycling measurements, and support for safety qualification testing (e.g. short circuit and thermal runaway testing)
Solar array integration: defining and validating the electrical interface between the solar array and the power bus, including protection circuitry and bring-up testing
Power electronics design: designing and validating protection and power conversion circuits, including the bus tie unit and DC-DC converters
System verification: board level bring-up and system integration testing to confirm the power subsystem performs to specification under nominal and fault conditions
Documentation: producing and maintaining design documentation, test reports, and requirement compliance records
Requirements
Demonstrated experience in power electronics design for battery powered and/or solar powered systems, including familiarity with DC-DC converter topologies
Practical experience with hardware bring-up, debugging, and verification testing of power electronics using standard laboratory equipment (oscilloscopes, electronic loads, power supplies, battery cyclers)
Experience with lithium-ion battery systems, including characterization, safety limits, and thermal behavior
Technical grounding in solar/photovoltaic array integration, including electrical interfacing of a variable voltage source to a power bus
Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB design tools, preferably Altium Designer
Experience with embedded systems as applied to power electronics, including telemetry acquisition and control interfaces between power hardware and a microcontroller
Strong technical writing ability, with experience producing design documentation, test reports, and requirement traceability records
Ability to work independently against defined requirements while coordinating effectively within a small technical team
Nice to have
Experience with aerospace or other high reliability electronics programs
Familiarity with component derating methodologies and EMI/EMC design practice
Familiarity with embedded communication protocols relevant to power system telemetry and control (e.g. CAN, I2C)
Experience with power delivery network (PDN) analysis, including reflection/impedance testing to validate transient response and stability under load
Conditions
Working type: Hybrid
Location: Valencia, Spain
Reports to: HAPS Avionics Team Lead
Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required)
