Engineer responsible for Wind Farm Control Validation, assuring software quality through test systems. Collaborating across departments in an international setting.
About the role
- Senior Electric Propulsion Engineer at ICEYE shaping the future of Earth-Observation satellite propulsion systems. Leading design and integration of Hall Effect Thruster systems for space mobility.
Responsibilities
- Bring your expertise in electric propulsion to shape the future of in-space mobility for ICEYE’s Earth-Observation satellite fleet.
- Play a central role in the design, integration, qualification and flight support of ICEYE’s Hall Effect Thruster (HET) propulsion systems and their supporting subsystems.
- Own the engineering and maturation of propulsion peripheral systems (including FCU, feed and tank systems, PPUs, valves, cabling and associated electronics).
- Lead subsystem architecture, preliminary design and performance trade-offs for HET propulsion systems, considering mission, spacecraft and operational constraints.
- Define requirements, interfaces and verification strategies for propulsion subsystems, ensuring seamless integration with avionics, mechanical, thermal and GNC systems.
- Perform analytical modeling and simulation of HET behavior, including plasma/beam physics, plume effects, thermal interactions and spacecraft contamination considerations.
- Manage technical interfaces with suppliers, partners and research institutions, ensuring strong documentation and regulatory/qualification compliance.
Requirements
- MSc or PhD in Aerospace Engineering, Plasma Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- 6+ years of experience with electric propulsion systems (preferably Hall Effect Thrusters) across design, testing or operations.
- Strong foundation in plasma physics, electric propulsion modeling and spacecraft system integration.
- Experience designing or evaluating propulsion power systems and interfaces (including PPUs and high-voltage architectures).
- Proficiency with analytical and numerical tools for plasma, thermal or fluid simulations (e.g., COMSOL, ANSYS, SPIS, MATLAB).
- Hands-on experience with propulsion laboratory testing, plasma diagnostics and high-voltage instrumentation, including safe operation of vacuum and contamination-controlled environments.
- Ability to work effectively across mechanical, avionics, GNC and systems disciplines, with strong communication skills.
Benefits
- A job that matters in a dynamic Defence Technology and Earth Observation environment with a scale-up approach
- An independent role with a supportive and diverse work environment
- Occupational healthcare, occupational, and accident insurance
- A yearly benefit budget to spend as you wish (i.e. on sport, transport, bike benefit, wellness, lunch, etc.)
- Phone subscription with iPhone of choice
- Relocation support (i.e. flight tickets, accommodation, relocation agency support)
- Time for self-development, research, training, conferences, or certification schemes
- Inspiring and collaborating offices and silent workspaces enable you to focus
