IT Site Engineer

IT site engineering

Own and resolve local IT issues across hardware, operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux), printers and meeting-room systems, keeping daily operations smooth for the Lisbon team and visiting HQ staff.

Support FDE deployments at Portuguese Air Force locations (Alfragide, Sintra, Alverca) with secure laptops, peripherals, network connectivity and air-gapped workstation provisioning where required.

Proactively support and troubleshoot engineering and ground-segment IT systems, including Linux-based engineering workstations and local network infrastructure, to minimise downtime.

Manage local user access and permissions (Okta), maintain clear site documentation (procedures, configurations, vendor contacts, issue resolution), and handle a share of global IT requests via Jira Service Management.

Partner with the CEO and Head of People & Operations on the Class A office fit-out: structured cabling, AV, meeting-room kit and secure-area readiness for clearance-restricted workflows.

Cross-team collaboration

Work with ICEYE Oy IT and Security leadership so local infrastructure choices align with the global technical baseline (endpoint, MDM, network, identity).

Support the Local Security Officer on facility and secure-area technical requirements (network segmentation, air-gapped systems, secure-room technical setup) as needed.

Must haves:

Hands-on experience in IT support, field engineering or systems administration in a corporate or engineering environment.

Strong troubleshooting across Windows, macOS and Linux.

Solid networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, switching) and connectivity troubleshooting.

Experience supporting office IT equipment, collaboration tools (Google Workspace or M365), IAM platforms (Okta preferred) and Jira Service Management.

Comfortable working in a defence or aerospace environment with security-sensitive constraints (you will not hold the security officer function, but will work closely alongside it).

Excellent written and spoken English and Portuguese.

Pragmatic, calm under pressure, comfortable with ambiguity and matrix reporting (IT, Security, CEO).

Ability to obtain and maintain a Portuguese national security clearance, given the sensitivity of the sites supported.

Nice to have:

Endpoint management tools (Workspace ONE, Jamf, Intune).

Enterprise networking environments (Palo Alto, Cisco, Juniper).

Experience supporting engineering-lab, manufacturing or operational IT environments.

Familiarity with sovereign or accredited cloud environments (NATO RESTRICTED, EU RESTRICTED).
