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 role leads product management for remote-sensing instruments carried on Earth-observation satellites, including hyperspectral cameras. It connects requirements from business development, customer problems, and data-use cases with implementation. The work includes organizing requirements such as spatial resolution, observation frequency, spectral bands, and quality indicators; defining instrument specifications; supporting decisions with internal specialists; promoting joint development with external partners and vendors; managing project progress; and taking the instruments through development, verification, improvement, and preparation for satellite integration.
The position is part of the Data Solutions Department in the Solutions Ecosystem Business Division. Internal coordination involves satellite systems, thermal and structural engineering, power, communications, ground systems, data utilization, and business development. External collaboration may involve partners, research institutions, and vendors. The role may also contribute to satellite development and business development when needed.
The development context includes Earth-observation satellites and multiple missions being developed in parallel through agile iteration. The stated cycle is to develop instruments, launch and operate satellites, deepen understanding through data and value validation, and continue improving the instruments. The company is also developing satellite IoT and VDES communication networks and aims to build a constellation of more than 60 satellites by 2028.
Space-engineering knowledge is not required because it can be learned after joining. The work is based at the Ariake office in Koto, Tokyo, with office attendance as the basic arrangement and partial remote work available. Indoor smoking is prohibited throughout the building. The selection process consists of document screening, a first interview, a second interview with an aptitude test, and a final interview.
