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.

English language capability TOEIC 700+.

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.
