The mission of the senior operations specialist (flight engineer)
As Senior Operations Specialist (Flight Engineer) on the HAPS (High Altitude Platform Station) program, you will help keep ICEYE's stratospheric, solar-powered electric aircraft safe, healthy and productive throughout its flights. In flight, you will be the crew's reference for the aircraft's technical condition: monitoring its systems, managing its energy and thermal balance, and turning what the aircraft tells you into clear, timely recommendations for the Mission Planner and the Autopilot Operator.
The role is deliberately broad. Beyond flight engineering, you will contribute across the Operations team: preparing and executing flight test campaigns, supporting ground control station operations, assessing flight results and feeding them back into the aircraft's development, and helping build the procedures and tools of an operations capability that will scale as the program grows.
