About this role
The role develops embedded software for the avionics system installed on the ZERO small rocket. The avionics system consists of electronic equipment that controls the rocket, with multiple electronic circuits and CPUs positioned throughout the vehicle and operating in coordination.
Responsibilities include designing, implementing and verifying embedded software using C and C++. The work covers development of flight-control, sequence-control, sensor-measurement and actuator-control functions. It also includes developing internal vehicle communications and external communications for telemetry and commands.
The engineer designs interfaces with the sensors and actuators needed for measurement and control. The role also involves defining specifications from the circuit-design stage in collaboration with electronic circuit designers, and defining specifications from the FPGA-design stage in collaboration with FPGA designers.
The avionics group is responsible for development of the avionics system, which performs overall electronic control of the rocket. In addition to developing the avionics system itself, the group conducts integration tests with other subsystems, engine firing tests and stage firing tests in cooperation with related groups. The group also performs operational work during rocket launches, contributing across the full range of rocket development from its initial stages through launch operations.
The stated work location is the Tokyo branch in Koto-ku, Tokyo.
