4100_Orbit Determination and Time Synchronization (ODTS) Engineer

4100_Orbit Determination and Time Synchronization (ODTS) Engineer 仕事概要 【Company Overview】 ArkEdge Space Inc. is a space startup founded in 2018, specializing in the design, manufacturing, and operation of small satellites. We focus on the development of ultra-small satellites, particularly 6U and 50kg-class satellites, as well as the creation of satellite constellations—networks of multiple satellites. In addition, we offer a wide range of services, including the provision of related components and software, as well as the operation of ground stations for satellite control. With the mission of "Creating a safer and more prosperous future through satellites," we strive to make space development and utilization accessible to everyone. We are actively building ultra-small satellite constellations for various missions, such as Earth observation, maritime satellite communication (satellite VDES), optical communication, and low-orbit satellite positioning. Furthermore, we are engaged in cutting-edge space missions, including satellite infrastructure development for lunar activities and deep-space exploration. By pioneering these initiatives, we contribute to the creation of a new space industry ecosystem. 【Selection Process】 Document Screening ＞ First Interview ＞ Second Interview ＞ Final Interview 【Job Overview】 To deliver real-time, high-accuracy orbit determination and time synchronisation for satellites, you will manage, develop, innovate, simulate, and validate filter-based algorithms and implement them on FPGA. Your ODTS algorithms will have applications on spacecraft from LEO to the Moon. 【Specific Responsibilities】 ・Design and develop orbit determination and time synchronization algorithms using filters ・Simulate and evaluate algorithm accuracy ・Innovate new algorithms and techniques to optimize performance ・Define specifications and design software ・Implement and optimize FPGA solutions ・Manage outsourced development when necessary 【Position Benefits】 ・Work on real-time positioning systems for satellite onboard applications from LEO to the Moon ・Utilize expertise in state-of-the-art orbit determination and FPGA technologies ・Contribute directly to space missions with your developed system ・Develop future solutions for leading technology with international stakeholders and partners, including JAXA, NASA and ESA ・Opportunity to participate in international conferences and meetings, to present and publish your work 【Tools Used】 MATLAB / Python (Simulation, Algorithm Validation) VHDL / Verilog (FPGA Implementation) C / C++ (Embedded Development) Git (Version Control) Required Skills 必須スキル 【Company Overview】 ArkEdge Space Inc. is a space startup founded in 2018, specializing in the design, manufacturing, and operation of small satellites.
