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 joins a research project focused on creating next-generation satellite communication systems. The engineer will study new technologies and handle practical work for joint research with universities and research institutions. Depending on the person’s skills and experience, the position may cover one or several of the listed research areas.
The technical scope includes antenna and propagation technologies such as beamforming and MIMO; positioning and attitude-estimation technologies using radio, optical, or magnetic methods; attitude and orbit-control technologies for satellite formation flying; and signal-processing algorithms and their implementation using technologies such as FPGA and LSI.
The work is connected to the development of a satellite communications service intended to allow ordinary terminals to connect directly to satellites without special dedicated equipment. The stated application is communication infrastructure for locations that cannot be reached by terrestrial networks. The company develops required satellite technologies internally and also conducts open-innovation projects with external partners. Its stated research context includes a Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications commissioned research project on expanding radio resources and selection for the JAXA Space Strategy Fund. The company also states that it completed a ground demonstration of an array antenna principle in December 2025.
The stated work location is the Tokyo Second Branch at 7-1-2 Toyo, Koto-ku, Tokyo, in the East Net Building’s second floor. The posting states that smoking is generally prohibited indoors, with a designated smoking room in a shared area on the same floor, and notes that the possible scope of location changes is the company’s designated business locations.
