Work as a satellite systems engineer across satellite design, development, testing, and operations, helping build communications infrastructure and direct-to-device connectivity.
About this role
This role designs, constructs, maintains, and operates ground-station equipment used to reliably capture radio signals from rockets. The work covers optimization of the ground infrastructure as an integrated system rather than as standalone radio equipment, and ensuring reliable communications during launch operations.
Responsibilities include integration design for ground-station systems, including system configuration and interface design for receiving antennas, tracking equipment, and RF front ends. The role also handles installation, wiring, and calibration of radio equipment and antennas at launch sites such as Taiki Town.
The engineer performs regular inspections and performance evaluations of ground-station equipment, including G/T measurements, and responds to aging-related deterioration and equipment failures. On launch days, responsibilities include confirming communication-link establishment, monitoring antenna tracking status, and handling real-time problems.
The role also covers applications for radio-station licenses, installation surveys, and operation management and documentation based on Japan’s Radio Act.
The primary work location is the Taiki headquarters or Tokyo branch. The position involves business trips to the Taiki headquarters approximately one or two times per month, generally lasting several days. The scope of work may change to duties designated by the company.
