Senior Flight Software Systems Engineer

The Senior Flight Software Systems Engineer will join the System Design Group in the Global Design division. The role involves designing and developing lunar landers and other transportation, communication and navigation platforms.

Responsibilities include embedded flight software design, implementation, integration, verification and validation, and operations for highly autonomous space systems. The role also covers design drivers for fault detection, isolation and recovery (FDIR), mode management, and onboard-executed procedures.

Candidates should have in-depth experience with embedded flight software and a solid understanding of spacecraft system engineering disciplines. Good technical knowledge of multiple spacecraft subsystems is required. Hands-on experience in engineering domains and interdisciplinary experience are preferred.

The engineer may be assigned to one or more projects and will participate in the detailed design and qualification of initial missions. The position is part of a small, international team of engineers. Responsibilities within the systems engineering team are assigned according to each member’s strengths, and teamwork is valued. The work is based in Tokyo, Japan.
