The mission of the Quality Control Technician

To ensure every component we use meets the standards needed for safe, reliable performance.

A Quality Control Technician makes sure the integrity of our spacecraft and hardware by verifying that every part, internal or supplier, meets the specifications. Inspections and records provide the factual backbone that allows engineering, production, and supply chain teams to make sound decisions.

The role exists to catch issues early, prevent defects from moving forward, and maintain confidence in the parts and assemblies we build. By documenting findings, resolving non-conformances, and improving processes, the technician helps ensure that every delivered product is safe, consistent, and ready for mission-critical use.

Who We Are

ICEYE delivers space-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to governments and allied nations. This includes sovereign and turnkey ISR missions leveraging ICEYE’s world-leading synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite technology, as well as access to data from the world’s largest SAR satellite constellation. These capabilities enable partners to detect and respond to critical changes anywhere on Earth with unprecedented speed and accuracy – day or night and in any weather, supported by ultra high-resolution imagery and high-frequency revisits.

As a trusted partner for defense, intelligence, security, and maritime domain awareness, ICEYE’s near real-time data creates a tactical advantage for mission-critical operations. Designed for dual use, the platform also serves civil protection and commercial users for natural-catastrophe intelligence, insurance, maritime monitoring (including oil-spill detection), and finance, contributing to global security and community resilience.

ICEYE operates internationally with offices in Finland, Poland, Spain, Japan, the UAE, Greece, and the US. The company has more than 900 employees, inspired by the shared vision of improving life on Earth by becoming the global source of truth in Earth Observation.
