Responsible for software design, coding in C/C++, unit-level tests, integrated scenario-level tests, validation, and maintenance with documentation.

Meet the required functions, performance, quality, cost and delivery time for the deliverables.

Investigate and resolve issues found through software testing, simulation, and integrated verification activities.

・Improvements to the development environment, simulation environment and processes to increase development efficiency.

Support SILS-based verification using flight software and Astroscale’s in-house spacecraft simulator.

Develop and improve simulation models, including sensor models, actuator models, flexible-body models, and related spacecraft simulation components.

Develop and maintain Python-based tools for testing, analysis, automation, and simulation support.

・Work with the related subsystem team to clarify any ambiguities in the requirements specifications and support subsystem verification and integration test.

Proactively identify issues, propose improvements, and drive tasks forward in collaboration with other engineers.

Essential Qualifications & Experience

・Excellent technical communication and presentation skills.

・Business level English language skills.

Desirable Qualifications & Experience

・Experience in developing closed-loop control processing.

・Experience with SILS, HILS, test benches, or integrated software verification environments.

・Experience developing and validating simulation models for engineering systems, including sensing, actuation, environmental effects, and system dynamics.
