Intelligence Analyst

About the role

ICEYE is the world leader in sovereign intelligence from space. We deliver persistent monitoring capabilities to detect and respond to changes in any location on Earth. ICEYE owns the world's largest and most advanced SAR (synthetic aperture radar) satellite constellation. To our customers we provide intelligence with unmatched quality, latency and revisit times, in any weather, day or night. To governments who choose to operate their own constellation we provide this proven capability as a sovereign system. ICEYE-built constellations serve customers in defence and intelligence, environmental monitoring, insurance and emergency management. We enable fast decisions that contribute to a safer future. Founded and headquartered in Finland, ICEYE operates globally with over 1000 employees across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. Your day-to-day responsibilities Produce strategic intelligence assessments. Research, analyse, and write finished intelligence products - from short-form updates to substantive assessments - on topics including defence and security developments, critical infrastructure, geopolitical risk, and environmental or humanitarian events. Products must be clear, well-sourced, and calibrated to the confidence level the evidence supports. Exploit ICEYE's SAR data as a primary source. Interpret synthetic aperture radar imagery and change-detection outputs as a foundation for your analysis. Integrate ICEYE collection with OSINT, open technical signals, and customer-provided data to build a multi-layered intelligence picture. Apply technical collection tradecraft. Bring depth from your background in IMINT, OSINT, SIGINT, or ELINT to enrich analysis with technical rigour - understanding what collection can and cannot tell you, identifying signatures, and recognising anomalies that non-specialist analysts would miss. Maintain regional and thematic expertise. Develop and sustain deep knowledge of priority regions and topics for ICEYE's customer base - tracking developments, building source networks, and keeping your analysis grounded in current context. Contribute to analytical standards. Help define and uphold quality standards for intelligence products across the team. Peer-review colleagues' work, provide structured feedback, and contribute to the development of analytical tradecraft within ICEYE Germany. What We Measure After Six Months Within the first three months, analytical standards, product templates, and repeatable workflows are drafted and in active use. Your reports and product reached relevant users and key-stakeholders in private and public institutions. A consistent production rhythm is maintained: weekly SitReps are delivered on time and to standard, and Strategic Assessments are produced at least monthly or on demand in response to customer requirements. Finished intelligence products are rated high quality by the majority of customers who provide structured feedback: clear, well-argued, and decision-relevant, with no product requiring a major revision.

Requirements

• Analytical experience in intelligence production, geospatial analysis, open-source research, or a directly comparable analytical environment.
• Imagery and geospatial tradecraft. Hands-on experience interpreting IMINT or SAR data, working with GIS platforms (QGIS, ArcGIS, or comparable tools), and drawing analytical conclusions from spatial and temporal change signatures.
• Technical collection background. Familiarity with OSINT methodologies, signals intelligence disciplines (SIGINT/ELINT), or other technical collection approaches that complement imagery analysis and enrich multi-source assessments.
• Strong analytical writing. The ability to write finished intelligence in clear, structured, jargon-free prose - calibrated to the custom

Benefits

Additional Information

Role highlights: Intelligence Analyst Location: Berlin, Germany Department: ICEYE Germany Reports to: Head of Intelligence, ICEYE Germany Employment type: Permanent Workplace model: On-Site Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required) Why this role matters: Turn raw data into insight that shapes decisions at the strategic level - from geospatial signatures and signals to finished intelligence products that inform government policy, defence planning, and national security priorities. You are the analyst who connects the dots. Drawing on ICEYE's unmatched SAR constellation and your own multi-source tradecraft, you will produce assessments that go beyond what any single collection platform can reveal. You will synthesise IMINT, OSINT, and technical signals into coherent, well-argued intelligence products -written for senior decision-makers, not just operational consumers. Where our ISR operators execute collection at pace, you focus on depth: understanding the context behind what the data shows, anticipating what customers need to know next, and communicating it with precision and confidence.
