Internship for micro-satellite development and systems operation, focusing on hardware and software engineering.
About this role
Axelspace, a Tokyo small-satellite maker and operator, hires an Attitude and Control System Engineer to design, develop, test and maintain the attitude and orbit control system of its satellites.
The engineer writes the control software that runs on the resource-limited computer aboard the satellite, documents it, and automates testing and calibration. Other duties are analysing mission requirements and implementing them in the control system, selecting attitude sensors and actuators for each project, researching and testing new sensors and actuators on the market, and verifying designs through data analysis, testing and simulation.
Applicants need an engineering degree (a technical college or university graduate), professional experience in spacecraft attitude or orbit control development, including design, simulation, parameter tuning, performance analysis and troubleshooting, and professional experience in spacecraft flight software. Either native-level Japanese with basic English, or native-level English with basic Japanese (about JLPT N2), is required.
