Spacecraft Descent Guidanace, Navigation, and Control Sensor Engineer
Tokyo, JapanJP Engineering Office – Engineering And R&D /Full-Time (Regular) /Hybrid
APPLY FOR THIS JOB
ispace is looking for Spacecraft Descent Guidanace, Navigation, and Control Sensor Engineer to join our growing team.
Design, develop and test the Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) subsystem of the lunar transfer vehicle as keeping the consistency with the overall spacecraft design. Especially be responsible for performing GNC sensor (doppler LiDAR, Flash LiDAR, laser rangefinders, navigation camera) development including requirements definition, selection, procurement, development, testing and operation, collaboratively working with systems, avionics and AIT (assembly, integration and test) engineers, as well as GNC engineers. Specifically, deeply understand the operating principles of the above sensors, build models, and then proceed with requirements definition and test design.
月着陸船の誘導航法制御サブシステムの設計、開発、試験および運用を行う。特に、着陸系GNCセンサー(ドップラーLiDAR、フラッシュLiDAR、レーザーレンジファインダー、航法カメラ)に関わる要求定義、選定、調達、開発、試験および運用について責任を負い、システム、アビオニクス、AIT(組立、統合、テスト)およびGNCエンジニアと協力して開発を担う。特に、上記センサーの動作原理を深く理解し、モデルを構築した上で要求定義、試験設計を行う。
Key Responsibilities
(1) Collaboratively work on GNC sensor development with systems, avionics and AIT (assembly, integration and test) engineers as well as GNC engineers.
(2) Define and manage GNC sensor requirements based on system/subsystem requirements and GNC sensor models build based on the operating principles.
(3) Select and manage vendor collaboratively working with SCM (supply chain management) engineers.
(4) Integrate GNC sensors into the lander and design tests based on the operating principle model and failure mode analysis of them
(5) Develop and verify GNC sensors by integrating components and designing housing, planning and performing environmental testing (e.g. vibration, thermal, vacuum and radiation).
(6) Conduct field tests to verify the performance of landing GNC sensors (Doppler LiDAR, flash LiDAR, laser rangefinder, navigation camera), and feed the results back into the simulation model. Additionally, perform ground calibration of GNC sensors as necessary.
(7) Conduct and support system level testing with Hardware-in-the-loop simulation and FM environment from GNC sensor perspective.
(8) Participate in flight operation as a member of GNC teams. Develop in flight GNC sensor commissioning/calibration plan and support interface design with the ground system from GNC perspective as collaboratively working with the system and operation team.
(9) Support the vision-based navigation and hazard detection algorithm development and V&V activity from GNC sensor perspective (LiDAR and camera).
(1) システム、アビオニクス、AIT(組立、統合、テスト)エンジニアおよびGNCエンジニアと協力してGNCセンサーの開発に取り組む
(2) システム/サブシステム要求およびGNCセンサーの動作原理に基づくGNCセンサーのモデルを構築したうえで、要件を定義、管理する。
(3) SCM(サプライチェーンマネジメント)エンジニアと協力してベンダーを選定、管理する
(4) GNCセンサーの動作原理に基づくモデリング、故障モード解析に基づき、GNCセンサーのランダーへの組み込みおよび試験設計を実施する
(5) コンポーネントの統合、筐体の設計、環境試験(振動、熱、真空、放射線など)の計画・実施により、GNCセンサーを開発、検証する
(6) 着陸系GNCセンサー(ドップラーLiDAR、フラッシュLiDAR、レーザーレンジファインダー、航法カメラ)のフィールドテストによるパフォーマンス検証を実施し、結果をシミュレーションモデルにフィードバックする。また必要に応じてGNCセンサーの地上校正を行う
(7) GNCセンサーの観点から、HIL(Hardware-in-the-Loop)シミュレーションとFM環境を用いたシステムレベルの試験を実施/サポートする
(8) GNCチームの一員として運用に参加する。飛行中のGNCセンサーの試運転/校正計画を策定し、システムおよび運用チームと協力しながら、GNCの観点から地上システムとのインターフェース設計をサポートする
(9) 着陸系GNCセンサー(LiDAR、カメラ)の観点から、画像航法および障害物検知アルゴリズムの開発・試験をサポートする
Basic Qualifications
5+ years of experience in developing active sensors (Doppler LiDAR, flash LiDAR, laser rangefinders) for distance/speed measurement and camera. In particular, possessing the ability to deeply understand the operating principles of these sensors and build models.
