Intelligence Analyst

Produce strategic intelligence assessments. Research, analyse, and write finished intelligence products — from short-form updates to substantive assessments — on topics including defence and security developments, critical infrastructure, geopolitical risk, and environmental or humanitarian events. Products must be clear, well-sourced, and calibrated to the confidence level the evidence supports.

Exploit ICEYE's SAR data as a primary source. Interpret synthetic aperture radar imagery and change-detection outputs as a foundation for your analysis. Integrate ICEYE collection with OSINT, open technical signals, and customer-provided data to build a multi-layered intelligence picture.

Apply technical collection tradecraft. Bring depth from your background in IMINT, OSINT, SIGINT, or ELINT to enrich analysis with technical rigour — understanding what collection can and cannot tell you, identifying signatures, and recognising anomalies that non-specialist analysts would miss.

Maintain regional and thematic expertise. Develop and sustain deep knowledge of priority regions and topics for ICEYE’s customer base — tracking developments, building source networks, and keeping your analysis grounded in current context.

Contribute to analytical standards. Help define and uphold quality standards for intelligence products across the team. Peer-review colleagues' work, provide structured feedback, and contribute to the development of analytical tradecraft within ICEYE Germany.

What We Measure After Six Months

Within the first three months, analytical standards, product templates, and repeatable workflows are drafted and in active use. Your reports and product reached relevant users and key-stakeholders in private and public institutions.

A consistent production rhythm is maintained: weekly SitReps are delivered on time and to standard, and Strategic Assessments are produced at least monthly or on demand in response to customer requirements.

Finished intelligence products are rated high quality by the majority of customers who provide structured feedback: clear, well-argued, and decision-relevant, with no product requiring a major revision.

Analytical experience in intelligence production, geospatial analysis, open-source research, or a directly comparable analytical environment.

Imagery and geospatial tradecraft. Hands-on experience interpreting IMINT or SAR data, working with GIS platforms (QGIS, ArcGIS, or comparable tools), and drawing analytical conclusions from spatial and temporal change signatures.

Technical collection background. Familiarity with OSINT methodologies, signals intelligence disciplines (SIGINT/ELINT), or other technical collection approaches that complement imagery analysis and enrich multi-source assessments.

Strong analytical writing. The ability to write finished intelligence in clear, structured, jargon-free prose — calibrated to the customer's knowledge level and decision horizon. Experience with structured analytic techniques is an advantage.

German security clearance (Sicherheitsüberprüfung Ü2/Ü3) is valued. Eligibility and willingness to undergo clearance is expected.

Fluent professional English, with the ability to produce and present finished intelligence products in English. German language skills are appreciated.
