Develop lunar-lander flight software for entry, descent and landing; design and validate GNC algorithms; support subsystem analysis, integration, mission operations and preparation.
About this role
This role develops spacecraft descent guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) subsystems. Responsibilities include algorithm design, sensor modelling, performance evaluation, and spacecraft systems engineering with failure mode analysis.
The candidate must have over five years of experience in GNC subsystem development and spacecraft systems engineering. Proven capability in developing vision-based navigation systems is essential. The role also requires hands-on experience with closed-loop test frameworks covering MIL, SIL, PIL, and HIL, as well as direct involvement in system-level spacecraft testing including SCLT, DOLT, and DCLT.
The named technologies and technical areas include C/C++, Python, and Git; modern software development practices; and models and interfaces for IMUs, star trackers, LiDARs, cameras, and propulsion systems.
The position concerns spacecraft descent systems and their sensors, navigation, testing, and propulsion interfaces. The candidate is expected to be proactive and collaborative, communicate effectively, and operate confidently in business-level English. The job location is Tokyo, Japan.
