The posting

ispace is looking for mission engineer to join our growing team in Tokyo.

Candidate will support the development of spacecraft communication systems for lunar and deep-space exploration missions. The engineer will be responsible for communication subsystem design, analysis, integration coordination, and mission support activities across various mission phases including concept development, system definition, integration, testing, launch, and mission operations.

This role requires close collaboration with multidisciplinary engineering teams including systems engineering, avionics, power, thermal, GNC, mission operations, and payload teams to ensure reliable end-to-end communication capability between space and ground assets.

The position is part of the Mission Management organization and contributes directly to mission success through communication architecture development, technical coordination, and subsystem performance verification.

If you have;

  • Strong systems engineering mindset with attention to mission-level impacts.
  • Ability to manage technical coordination across multiple stakeholders.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
