A satellite company is recruiting product interns for live projects and screening them under national security rules, signaling that space-derived data is being sold as a sovereign decision tool to governments and defense-adjacent customers rather than just as imagery.
Role highlights
Role: Product Intern, ICEYE Intern Lab
Location: Espoo, Finland (onsite), potentially with some travel
Department: Product Management
Employment type: Fixed-term, fully paid internship (3-6 months, flexible)
Start: April / early May 2027
Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required)
Few people get to start their product career in space. You will.
ICEYE Intern Lab is a fully paid, onsite internship for high-potential students who want to see what great product work looks like on real problems. You don't need product management experience to apply. We're looking for curious, fast-learning students with a strong academic record, ideally in a technical field, and a hands-on builder mindset.
You'll join one of our Product teams as a contributing team member, working on a live project (not a simulation) with a dedicated manager and a mentor. You'll work closely with engineers, scientists and senior leaders, and your work will shape how customers use satellite data to make decisions that matter.
The internship is fast and demanding, and it will stretch you. After 90 days, your manager and HRBP review your progress and discuss potential full-time opportunities where there is an approved opening.
Spots are limited and we review applications on a rolling basis, so apply early.
