Jobs at ispace

Responsible for the design and analysis of spacecraft propulsion systems, involving collaboration with various teams and support for manufacturing and testing.

The General Affairs Associate supports office operations, manages internal communications and events, and enhances employee engagement across Japan.

Lead propulsion system design, integration, verification and operations for lunar landers. Define product baselines, perform system trade-offs, manage technical budgets and interfaces, support requirements, risk assessments, test plans, MBSE propulsion models, and coordinate with AIT, flight test and operations teams.

The Organization Performance & Development Specialist is responsible for creating an environment for employee growth and performance, focusing on learning and development, stakeholder management, and program design.

Lead design, implementation, integration, V&V and operations of embedded flight software for lunar landers. Define product baselines, requirements, ICDs, safety and reliability analyses (FTA, FMEA/FMECA), system trade-offs, test plans, and support AIT/flight test operations and MBSE tool maintenance.

The Spacecraft Orbiter GNC Engineer will lead development and analysis of GNC systems for lunar landers, managing requirements, design, and verification activities. They will coordinate with subsystems, oversee algorithm integrity, and support mission operations, leveraging skills in spacecraft systems engineering, control engineering, and software integration.

Manage multidisciplinary software teams to develop mission-critical systems for lunar landers and spacecraft, overseeing software architecture, integration, testing, and deployment.

Lead GNC/AOCS system design, trade studies, technical budgets, interface and requirements management, risk assessments, test planning, AIT/flight test support, and MBSE tool maintenance for lunar lander projects.

The Program Management Specialist drives program management activities for lunar exploration missions, overseeing technical development, operational planning, financial management, stakeholder coordination, and sales support, facilitating communication with executive leadership for strategic decisions.

Lead mission operational preparations and on-console flight execution for lunar spacecraft. Develop and validate flight products, train crews, run rehearsals, perform system-level test campaigns, operate spacecraft during mission phases (including shift/on-call), and resolve real-time anomalies coordinating with subsystem experts to ensure safe mission execution.

Plan and execute flight-like, hardware-in-the-loop tests translating operations scenarios into representative test campaigns; architect avionics testbenches; write test specifications and reports; close V&V loops; develop flight procedures and training; and operate the spacecraft from Mission Control to verify readiness and execute lunar mission operations.

Support assembly, integration, verification, and testing of spacecraft hardware. Execute procedures, supervise technicians, manage verification activities, track configuration and test data, drive continuous improvement, resolve non-conformances, contribute to requirements management, advise on instrumentation and test systems, and develop MAIT processes and test documentation to ensure flight readiness.

Plan, execute, and analyze development, qualification, and acceptance tests for lunar landers and relay satellites. Develop test plans, fixtures, and data acquisition; perform and conduct certified test procedures; analyze results, document reports, support root-cause investigations, maintain configuration control, and improve test equipment and processes.

Design, analyze, and verify spacecraft communication subsystems for lunar and deep-space missions. Perform RF trade studies and link budgets, define requirements and interfaces, coordinate integration and testing, support mission operations and anomaly investigations, develop analysis tools/scripts, and maintain technical documentation throughout concept, integration, launch, and operations phases.

Design, develop, and maintain mission control software and ground segment systems. Ensure reliable telemetry/telecommand data flow, integrate and test virtual/physical environments, support CI/CD, operational procedures, on-console operations, and compliance with security and data protection policies.

Lead mission-level engineering across the spacecraft lifecycle: own mission requirements, coordinate multidisciplinary teams, drive technical/programmatic decisions, oversee integration, verification, launch campaign, operations, and continuous improvement of mission engineering processes and tools.

Manage and prepare ITU and domestic radio license applications for lunar lander and spacecraft, coordinate with MIC/JAXA/SANA, perform RF interference assessments, plan and execute radio inspections and on‑orbit licensing, and support business expansion for lunar communications.

The role involves developing the Guidance Navigation Control subsystem for a lunar lander, including algorithm design, testing, and integration with teams for operation preparation and troubleshooting.

The Business Development & Project Manager will drive strategic initiatives, manage project execution, engage clients, and negotiate contracts in the space sector.

Design and integrate spacecraft propulsion components and piping using 3D CAD. Lead system-level trade studies, resolve cross-subsystem conflicts, support testing, manufacturing, procurement, and documentation, and coordinate with suppliers and teams to complete design reviews and operations.
