Subsystem Assembly Technician

About the role

Role Highlights Subsystem Assembly Technician Location: Athens, Greece Department: Global Manufacturing Organisation Reports to: Production Facility Manager Employment type: Permanent Workplace model: Office Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required) Why this role matters: The mission of this role is to ensure every mechanical subsystem delivered for satellite integration works exactly as intended by inspecting, assembling and validating it with clear, reliable evidence. It also exists to catch issues early, fix them at the source and keep the entire build process traceable and unblocked so spacecraft can be assembled and launched with confidence. 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 is headquartered in Finland and operates globally across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. We have more than 900 employees, united by a shared vision: improving life on Earth by becoming the global source of truth in Earth Observation.
