Develop ground-segment and monitoring infrastructure for LEO-PNT and LNSS, integrating navigation, RF, and timing equipment with data systems to assess satellite performance.
About this role
This role covers the system-level development of satellite navigation payloads. The engineer defines the overall architecture, establishes specifications, and leads development of new systems intended to provide satellite navigation solutions from low Earth orbit to the Moon.
Day-to-day responsibilities include defining and documenting system requirements; preparing specifications for payload components such as antennas, receivers, and signal processing units; and checking that the individual component specifications remain consistent. The role also involves preparing system design documents, interface specifications, test plans, and other technical documentation.
The engineer manages project progress and coordinates tasks across the development effort. Responsibilities include technical negotiations, specification adjustments, and design reviews with external contractors and partner companies. The role also covers risk analysis and quality control for the complete system.
The posting asks for experience in systems engineering and knowledge of satellite navigation. It does not state a specific educational qualification or a required number of years of experience. The tools and technical skills named are MATLAB, Simulink, C/C++, and Python.
The work is connected to the development of small satellites and satellite constellations. The employer designs, manufactures, and operates small satellites and also provides related components and software and operates ground stations for satellite control. The broader satellite activities described include Earth observation, maritime satellite communication using satellite VDES, optical communication, low-orbit satellite positioning, lunar infrastructure, and deep-space exploration.
The position is based at the Ariake Office in Koto-ku, Tokyo. It is primarily office-based, with partial remote work available. Smoking is prohibited in all indoor areas. The stated selection process is document screening, followed by a first interview, second interview, and final interview.
