Why this role matters

As a Missions Delivery Engineer you will support the delivery of complex Satellite Mission programs end-to-end with deep technical ownership, ensuring customer success, on-time execution, and scalable delivery excellence.

You will work across the Portuguese Portfolio focusing on the technical thread of customer missions—from requirements capture through system acceptance and delivery—acting as the technical authority/interface between the customer and ICEYE's engineering, product, and operations teams. Your role bridges program governance and system engineering: ensuring mission requirements are understood, flowed down, tracked, and validated, while maintaining configuration control and driving cross-functional technical alignment throughout the program lifecycle.

This role directly contributes to ICEYE's ambition to become the leading provider of space-based ISR infrastructure by scaling reliable, high-impact mission delivery globally.

The role will be based in Lisbon at the ICEYE facility. Travel to customer sites is required.

Expected outcomes

• Customer technical requirements are accurately captured, baselined, and flowed down to engineering teams, ensuring all mission commitments are fully traceable from contract to delivery.

• Customers experience a consistent, high-trust technical partnership, with a single accountable interface that understands their systems and operational needs throughout the program lifecycle.

• System integration, verification, and validation activities are planned and executed rigorously, ensuring all delivered capabilities are compliant with mission and contractual requirements.

• Configuration and interface control is maintained across all mission segments—satellite, ground, networks, and user interfaces—minimising risk from upgrades, changes, and inter-system dependencies.

• Technical risks, discrepancies, and gaps are identified early, escalated effectively and resolved proactively through structured coordination across software, hardware, operations, and QA teams.
