SUPO, where required) WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS ICEYE is looking for a Head of Production to lead and scale the satellite production organization in MAITE Finland. This is one of the most consequential leadership roles in the company, the person in this role will be directly responsible for taking ICEYE's production from its current rate to 120+ satellites per year, while maintaining the quality and discipline that space hardware demands. MAITE Production encompasses two major flows: subsystem production, a global supply function feeding programs across multiple international sites, and SAR satellite integration and validation, a build-to-launch flow delivering complete satellites directly to the launch manifest. Both are high-care production lines requiring the same rigorous operational discipline and production mastery. We are not looking for someone who maintains the status quo. We are looking for someone who knows exactly what world-class production looks like, can see the gap between where we are and where we need to be, and has the drive and experience to close it. WHO WE ARE 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 defe
