About this role
This engineering role supports the development of communications and Earth-observation satellite systems, including a small-satellite constellation. It sits on the upstream side of satellite-use system development, handling the regulatory and technical coordination needed to secure frequencies for services delivered through those systems.
The work covers international and domestic frequency applications for satellite communications, coordination between operators, and the strategy and technical studies behind those activities. It also includes negotiations with Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, other domestic and overseas ministries and operators, and the ITU-R; responding to international and domestic rule-making activities and meetings; and coordinating with members developing satellite communications systems and services.
Requirements differ by level. The senior professional track requires practical experience in international frequency coordination and knowledge of satellite communications system technology. The professional track requires basic knowledge of the Radio Regulations and the Radio Act and related laws, together with practical experience in satellite communications system technology. These are the core technical and regulatory qualifications described for consideration.
