About this role

ROLE HIGHLIGHTS: - Flight Software Deployment Engineer - Location: Warsaw, Poland/ Espoo, Finland - Department: Flight Software Build & Release Team - Reports to: Flight Software Build & Release Team Lead - Employment type: Permanent - Workplace model: Hybrid (3 days in the office) - Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required) WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS: The Build & Release team owns the path from source to flight-ready software across growing satellite constellations.

This role exists because every artifact that reaches satellites in orbit must be reproducible, traceable, and verifiable. A bad update is not a simple rollback, it could mean a satellite becomes at risk. This is not a generic SRE or DevOps role, the production environment is composed of satellites flying 500 km above our heads, and the software artifacts are cross-compiled embedded binaries. The role is in the realm of half build engineering and half embedded Linux development, you need to be willing to work at both ends.

Satellites are treated to OTA updates regularly which our team must make sure are built and deployed the right way, utilizing software development best practices. 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 - Hands on software engineering of our satellite on-board updating system, built to deploy software and firmware updates: features, maintenance, tests and documentation. - Contribute to the build layer across the flight software domain, so every repository is built, versioned and packaged the same way.

- Enforce immutable releases and harden the packaging and signing pipelines: least-privilege permissions, pinned workflows and dependencies, approvals, and proper signing key management. - Work with the Linux platform team on how updates land on the satellite on-board computers, covering packaging format, filesystem layout and access control, making sure what we build installs cleanly and safely. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR Must haves: - Embedded software engineering experience, with hands-on embedded Linux development: cross-compilation for ARM or similar targets, kernel configuration, device tree overlays, root filesystem and image construction.

Signing key management, PKI and trust chains, AWS object-lock storage and cloud key management are all valuable here.

- Shipping software to embedded devices already in the field with a package-based update mechanism, ideally opkg, under controlled release processes, quality gates and formal sign-of Nice to haves: - Command of CMake, including multi-repository setups, toolchain files, and shared build infrastructure that other teams consume.
