ispace is looking for Propulsion Design Engineer to join our growing team.

The ideal candidate will have a broad experience in the mechanical design of the propulsion system of the spacecraft.

**due to large amount of application we receive, only shortlisted candidate will be contacted**

Key Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with other sub-system teams of Structure, Thermal, GNC, Avionics, Operation and AIT, supporting the lander propulsion design to a consistent system for current and future mission.
  • Support the propulsion team with technical point of view. Validate analysis and model in the propulsion team, provide hands-on feedback and modification plan, and intervene those technical tasks as showing a better alternative approach if necessary. Prepare the related technical reports, obtaining the approvals from the stakeholders.
  • Support propulsion design efforts for spacecraft system development with proposing practical applications such as trade-off studies, material, component, and manufacturing process selection while watching the feasibility in the project.
  • Find technical conflicts beyond the sub-system level and lead a solution through sub-system and system level discussions.
  • Support the creation and/or the maintenance of the spacecraft propulsion system relevant documents such as -sub-system requirement specification and sub-system design specification.
  • Support FMECA, launcher requirement, and the range safety related to the propulsion system.
  • Support the completion of the design reviews with closing the action items. 
  • Support manufacturing, procurement, hardware assembly, integration, testing, and launch operation related to the propulsion system, which may include travel to the sites sometimes.
  • Evaluate component level and EPM tests related to the propulsion subsystem. Coordinate with suppliers if necessary.
  • Prepare operational plan and input to other sub-system teams of Avionics, Thermal, GNC, and Mission. 
  • Report status and issues to the team lead and the group manager.
  • Support to build a strong team with effective communications in the team.
  • Maintain proactive coordination between the teams to balance and achieve project goal.

    • Basic Qualifications

  • Have an experience in new industrial development project in aerospace field as a propulsion design engineer.
  • Have excellent interpersonal, organizational, and communication skills.
  • Be comfortable with change, fast-pace environment, and learning new things.
  • Have extensive experience with CAD software packages and drawing makings for the propulsion components and the jigs.
  • Proactive attitude, team player, and strong responsibility for own works.
  • Working level of English, Japanese business level is a plus

    • Preferred Qualifications

  • Proficiency in Solidworks, FEmap, NASTRAN, or equivalent software packages.
  • Have knowledge of mechanical design, stress analysis, material selection, and fabrication processes for spaceflight hardware or equivalent.
  • Have knowledge of Geometric Dimension and Tolerance (GD&T) and of the stack-up calculation method for drawing tolerances.
  • Have knowledge of pressure drop analysis using dedicated pressure drop software.
  • Familiarity with pipework stand-off selection, propulsion component bracket design, and pipework 
  • Familiar with build verification procedures for spacecraft propulsion system.
  • Familiar with NDI and welding process.
  • Have experienced in coordinating external manufacturers.
  • Have an experience of team lead more than one year.
  • Speaking and writing skills in English and Japanese.
    • Only shortlisted candidate will be contacted for interview.
