Job Type
Satellite Laser Development Engineer
Work Detail
We develop payload equipment and satellites for the Space Debris Removal Project, which uses lasers to remotely control the attitude and orbit of space objects (debris), and the Satellite LiDAR Project, which uses lasers from satellites to observe the Earth's surface.
We are looking for a development engineer for lasers, a key component of the Mission Department.
Specific job duties are as follows:
- Evaluation and verification of various optics (optical crystals, optical elements, optical parts, etc.)
- Laser assembly and adjustment
- Evaluation, verification, and testing at the component and system levels
- Evaluation, verification, and testing of optomechanics (mechanical environment testing, thermal environment testing, etc.)
- Verification and evaluation of space power supplies and driver development products
- Heat exhaust system evaluation, verification, and testing support
- Tasks related to assembly, evaluation testing, and launch preparation of mission parts including lasers
Note: We welcome those who want to gain experience in laser development or want to master it through consultation with support from engineers with over 20 years of experience in laser development. In addition, experience is not required for tasks specific to the space field (thermal control systems, environmental testing, etc.) that are not required for ground equipment development, as support is available from engineers with over 30 years of satellite development experience.
Ideal Profile
- Master's or doctoral degree in engineering or science (including those who are planning to obtain a doctorate)
- Basic knowledge and experience of solid-state lasers
Others with any of the following experience or knowledge are preferred
- Experience in developing pulsed solid-state laser devices
- Basic knowledge of material mechanics, structural mechanics, heat transfer engineering, electronic circuits in general, and radiation
- Practical experience in design and analysis in the fields of optics, mechanics, electricity, and heat
- Practical experience with optical simulators (Zemax, etc.)
- Experience working with overseas companies using English
- Experience in the space industry
- Passion for developing new technologies: Those who are interested in laser and optical technology, who can challenge unknown phenomena, and who can persistently pursue solutions.
- Customer-oriented technological innovation: Those who can challenge new technologies to realize customer value, respond quickly to development issues, and commit to producing results.
- Analytical ability and prioritization: Those who can logically analyze issues, prioritize them after considering the effectiveness and feasibility of measures, and take action.
- Information gathering and analytical abilities: People who are sensitive to market and academic trends, and can proactively gather and analyze information and utilize knowledge.
- Collaborative and communication skills: People who can work together with teams and customers, communicate smoothly, and enjoy solving problems.
What we especially look for in a PhD or postdoctoral fellow
We expect those who have obtained a doctorate or are planning to obtain a doctorate to be involved in development as "immediate assets" based on their expertise and the experience they have gained through the research process.
