Senior SAR Engineer

Role responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of advanced SAR signal processing technologies, delivering operational, high-performance imaging capabilities that meaningfully differentiate ICEYE’s constellation.
• Own complex engineering initiatives end-to-end, providing technical leadership to a small team of engineers and collaborating closely with Orbit & Attitude Control, FPGA and electronics, radio, and flight software teams.
• Drive new collection capabilities from concept to deployment, ensuring solutions support ISR operations, product roadmaps, and customer needs in real-world operational environments.

Core Expertise

• Strong background in physics, electronic engineering, or a closely related field.
• Deep understanding of Synthetic Aperture Radar signal processing, including hands-on experience developing SAR image formation processors.

Strong Supporting Experience

• Ability to rapidly prototype new signal processing ideas using high-level languages such as Python.
• Experience translating concepts and prototypes into low-level, production-quality code suitable for large-scale operational systems (e.g. C, C++, Rust, Go).
• Experience working in containerized environments, including Docker.
• Broad technical capability across multiple domains, including:
• Computer science
• Physics (orbits, radar, SAR)
• Electronic engineering (FPGAs, antennas)
