Export Control Laws

Unless explicitly notified otherwise, our vacancies are covered by Export Control Laws which require candidates to be from an "Export Safe" Country as deemed by the Japanese Government. The countries are as follows: Japan, Germany, Australia, Argentina, Italy, USA, France, Netherlands, UK, Austria, Ireland, Czech, Spain, Greece, Canada, New Zealand, Belgium, Bulgaria, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, Finland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Denmark, Hungary, and Poland.

Development of the spacecraft AOCS (Attitude, Orbit and Control System) GNC (Guidance Navigation and Control) systems, design and verification activities.

Support system level activities, such as: developing mission CONOPS (Concept of Operations), defining FMECA (Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis) and FDIR (Failure Detection, Isolation, and Recovery) processes and design, system test and verification activities.

Develop control law and algorithms – analysis, design, implement and validate (simulate) scenarios for RPO (rendezvous and proximity operations) RPO & docking maneuvers.

Develop GNC hardware and/or software architecture, towards an overall GNC solution.

Support procurement engineers with trade-off and selection of GNC equipment.

Mandatory:

• 3+ years of experience as an AOCS or GNC systems engineer involved in either of the design, implementation and testing of GNC solutions for aerospace vehicles.
• Otherwise, 3+ years of experience on the mobile object dynamics control involved in either of the design, implementation and testing, with major in aerospace engineering in undergraduate or graduate school in university.
• Experience of algorithm & control law development: use of GNC design and simulation software e.g., MATLAB, implementation of control laws and real world effects (non-linearities, signal noise, tuning), translating algorithms into operational flight software.
• English language capability TOEIC 700+.
• Business level Japanese language capability.

Desirable:

5+ years of experience as an AOCS or GNC systems engineer involved in the design, implementation and testing of GNC solutions for actual spacecraft missions. Preferable to have experience of implementation of RPO and docking algorithms and solutions. Experience of hardware trade-offs and hardware and software GNC architectural design. Operational experience of on-orbit satellite operations. Experience in control law design, beyond classical techniques: non-linear design, optimal. Knowledge of GNC sensor systems (trade-offs/ procurement, data processing) including Visible cameras, IR cameras, and LiDAR.
