Lead end-to-end development of a lunar lander orbiter system, defining GNC requirements, coordinating subsystem interfaces, managing algorithm performance, and supporting mission operations.
About this role
This role sits within the Engineering CTO Office and supports the design and development of spacecraft propulsion systems for lunar landers. The work focuses on integrating propulsion components into a complete spacecraft system and coordinating with Structure, Thermal, GNC, Avionics, Operations and AIT teams.
Responsibilities include validating propulsion analyses and models, preparing technical reports and system documents, conducting trade-off studies, selecting materials and manufacturing processes, resolving cross-subsystem conflicts, and supporting design reviews. The engineer also contributes to manufacturing, procurement, assembly, integration, testing and launch operations, including supplier coordination and component or engineering-model tests. Candidates must have at least five years of spacecraft propulsion design experience, extensive propulsion engineering-model test experience, experience in a new aerospace industrial development project, and substantial CAD and drawing experience. Knowledge of mechanical design, stress analysis, material selection, fabrication processes, GD&T and stack-up calculations is preferred. Working-level English is required, while business-level Japanese is a plus.
