<Key activities / Role and Responsibilities>

  • Lead the development team for satellite GNC (Guidance Navigation and Control) systems, design and verification activities.
  • Contribute to 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)
  • 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 architecture, trade-off analysis of hardware towards an overall GNC hardware solution.
  • Develop GNC software architecture, implementing algorithms for GNC flight software, towards an overall GNC software solution.
  • Support procurement engineers with trade-off and selection of GNC equipment.
  • Coach junior level engineers and provide consultation in GNC development team.

<Mandatory>

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Experience of hardware trade-offs and hardware and software GNC architectural design.
  • Comfortable using English in a business environment
  • Business level Japanese language capability.


<Desirable>

  • 10+ 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.
  • 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 cameras, IR and LiDAR.
  • Understanding of safety across the GNC design spectrum: passively safe trajectories, safety critical flight software, operator and ground segment interaction (and level of autonomy), abort maneuvers, and collision avoidance maneuvers.
  • Knowledge of missions concerning ADR (active debris removal) or RPO mission: such as HTV, ETS-7

<職務内容 / 役割・責任>

  • 宇宙機のAOCS (姿勢・軌道制御系) /GNC (航法・誘導・制御) の開発、設計と検証をチームのリーダとして実施する。

About Astroscale

Founded in 2013, Astroscale is the global leader in on-orbit servicing, dedicated to the secure and sustainable development of space for the benefit of future generations. The company provides trusted and value-added solutions for government and commercial clients from their geography of choice, to drive the long-term, circular space economy. Astroscale is also collaborating with government and commercial stakeholders to develop norms, regulations, and incentives that promote the sustainable growth of space.

Since its first successful launch in March 2021, Astroscale has proven rendezvous and proximity operations technologies in orbit during the ELSA-d and ADRAS-J missions, establishing the company as a leader in on-orbit servicing. Astroscale spacecraft have been selected for pioneering missions with JAXA, the U.S. Space Force, the European Space Agency, the UK Space Agency, and Eutelsat OneWeb. As more satellite operators adopt on-orbit servicing to routinely inspect, service and remove, the potential of a circular space economy — and a future of no waste in space — is being unlocked.

Headquartered in Japan, Astroscale has a global presence with subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, the United States, France, and Israel.
