About this role
This systems engineering role sits in a defense-systems group that proposes and develops information and communications systems for the Ministry of Defense, with a focus on systems operated by the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. The group has developed and equipped satellite communications and secure communications equipment and supports their continued operation through maintenance design. The role contributes to the long-term stability of those systems and devices.
The engineer will carry out maintenance design and maintenance for satellite communications and secure communications equipment, troubleshoot equipment and system problems, propose successor equipment, and prepare maintenance plans and spare-parts proposals. The work connects equipment-level support with proposals for continued operation and replacement. Applicants must be able to share understanding with customers and build relationships through communication. They must also have experience solving issues collaboratively with project members and experience guiding junior members while carrying out that work.
