SUPO) **The Mission of the Flight Software Test Automation Engineer** As a Flight Software Test Automation Engineer you will build robust, automated quality gates for mission\-critical satellite flight software. **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. **Requirements** **The Role Responsibilities:** You will be at the heart of how ICEYE validates and safeguards the software flying on our next\-generation missions. By developing hardware\-in\-the\-loop (HIL) and software\-in\-the\-loop (SIL) based automation, you will transform how we test, release, and continuously improve our flight software. * Building up automation tests that make use of HIL (hardware\-in\-the\-loop) in order to create holistic system level quality gates for software development. * Utilize SIL (software\-in\-the\-loop) simulation testing infrastructure to further increase our automation coverage and release confidence of satellite software. * Adding new testing workflows that work in unison with existing reusable workflows of the framework. Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) to onboard new projects and environments into the automated testing and deployment workflow. * Reporting results of QA activities and find easily reproducible steps for bugs that you can collaborate with engineers to establish fixes. Be able to isolate signals from the noise, and provide feedback that eases the work of your colleagues. * Test case creation and continuous test maintenance for new features being developed. You will own the core of the testing, by writing, running and reporting on continuous testing you will help build quality software. **Your background and skill set:** * Proficient in Python and shell scripting in Linux\-based environments. * Having been working with test automation frameworks in the past, including CI/CD tools such as Github Actions. * Worked within the software development lifecycle, involved in testing and automation best practices, CI/CD principles. * Exposure to hardware testing, integrating automated testing pipelines and coordinating robust lab\-based test execution. * Have a proactive, dynamic problem\-solving attitude and a mindset to work as one to deliver a high quality product. * A motivated generalist who thrives in hands\-on, interdisciplinary environments. A disciplined tinkerer, someone who loves figuring out how systems work. * Excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken. **Benefits** **What We Offer at ICEYE** At ICEYE, you will join a diverse and highly engaged team united by the ambition to make the impossible possible.
