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
