Design 5G NTN architectures connecting devices, satellites, ground stations, and customer networks, while handling requirements, partner negotiations, and technology and vendor selection.
About this role
This role designs, develops, and operates a mission control system used to control and monitor rocket launches and combustion tests. The system uses a web-based microservices architecture and handles real-time visualization of tens of thousands of rocket telemetry records per second, as well as remote control of ground equipment where reliability is critical.
Responsibilities include designing and implementing backend applications in Go and frontend applications using React and related technologies. The role also builds low-latency real-time data pipelines using NATS and MQTT, including messaging infrastructure and persistence of data in databases.
Additional work includes developing communication adapters that decode telemetry data in proprietary binary formats and creating communication interfaces for ground equipment such as PLCs. The engineer also operates the infrastructure platform, including container orchestration and visualization of system metrics.
During launch and test events, the role monitors system operation on site and rapidly improves the user interface and user experience based on feedback from the field. The position works across the backend and frontend of a high-reliability, low-latency system rather than a conventional web service. The stated work location is the Tokyo branch in Koto-ku, Tokyo. The scope of duties may change to duties determined by the company.
