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
The Senior Researcher will lead research and development projects focused on creating next-generation satellite communication systems. The role combines hands-on technical work with leadership of the broader research team.
Responsibilities include investigating and evaluating new technologies, providing technical leadership to research members, managing project progress, and leading advanced technical discussions and joint research with universities and research institutions.
Depending on experience, the researcher may lead work in one or more of the following areas: antenna and propagation technologies such as beamforming and MIMO; relative positioning and attitude estimation using radio, optical, or magnetic methods; attitude and orbit control technologies for satellite formation flight; and signal-processing algorithms and their implementation using technologies such as FPGA and LSI.
The work supports the development of satellite communication infrastructure and direct-to-device communication in which terminals connect directly to satellites without special dedicated equipment. The company is developing required satellite technologies internally while also working with external partners through open innovation. The stated work location is the company's Tokyo office in Koto-ku, Tokyo.
