Design and specify satellite navigation payload systems, document requirements and interfaces, coordinate external contractors, manage development progress, and assess system risks and quality.
About this role
This position covers the overall system of a satellite positioning payload. The role leads architecture design and requirements definition, prepares specifications, creates technical documentation, manages progress and tasks, and coordinates technical matters with external suppliers and partner companies.
Responsibilities include defining the payload architecture and system requirements; documenting those requirements; preparing specifications for components such as antennas, receivers and signal-processing units; and checking consistency across the system. The role also produces system design documents, interface specifications and test plans. Other duties include project progress management, task coordination, technical discussions and specification reviews with suppliers and partners, and analysis of system-wide risks and quality management.
The posting describes the work as applying experience in systems engineering and knowledge of satellite positioning to development of new positioning services spanning Earth orbit to the Moon. The role works with international stakeholders and partners including JAXA, NASA and ESA. It also includes opportunities stated in the posting to participate in international conferences and academic societies and to present or publish the resulting work.
Named tools and technologies include Windows and Linux operating systems; GitHub for code management; GitHub Projects V2 and GitHub Issues for task management; Git for version control; and C, C++, Python, MATLAB and Simulink. Various GNSS simulation tools are also used. A company-designated PC is provided, with the specific PC supplied according to the employee's preference.
