ispace, inc. is looking for highly motivated Propulsion System Engineer advanced research & development (ARD) group. This position is based in Tokyo, Japan and will require you to relocate. This is not a full remote position. Successful candidate will participate in two types of ARD projects: 1) new technology development/demonstration and 2) next generation lunar transportation, infrastructure, and resource utilization system architecture creation from initial concept to system preliminary design level. This role focuses on high thrust propulsion systems, including earth-storable propulsion and advanced propulsion concepts. You will work within a multidisciplinary, model-driven design team, developing Python-based propulsion models, exploring large tradespaces, leading technology demonstration projects, and shaping the propulsion architecture of future ispace vehicles. It is expected that technical solution concepts start at mid/low technical maturity and you develop them to a CML2+ level (see JPL 'concept maturity level' scale).

ispace is seeking a highly motivated and talented Senior GNC Systems Engineer to join the System Design Group under the Global Design division, responsible for the design and development of lunar landers and other transportation and/or communication/navigation platforms. The ideal candidate will have in-depth experience on GNC (AOCS) design, implementation, integration, V&V and operations, good technical knowledge of multiple spacecraft subsystems and experience in the system engineering disciplines for spacecraft design. This is a unique opportunity to join a truly fascinating project, the first stage of ispace’s plans to perform resource prospecting on the moon. In this position, you will be assigned to one or more of ispace's projects, and join a small, international team of engineers working towards the detailed design and qualification of our first missions. Candidates with demonstrated "hands-on" experience in some engineering domains and interdisciplinary experience are preferred. Teamwork is valued, and depending on the strengths of each member of the systems engineering team, the responsibilities listed below will be assigned accordingly.

ispace, inc. is looking for senior mission engineer to join our growing team As a Senior Mission Engineer, you will serve as one of the technical and programmatic leaders responsible for delivering successful lunar and deep-space missions. Working within the Mission Management organization, you will integrate engineering, program execution, and mission objectives to ensure the spacecraft is delivered within technical, cost, schedule, and mission performance constraints. Mission Engineers are responsible for making mission-level technical and programmatic recommendations by coordinating multidisciplinary engineering teams throughout the complete spacecraft lifecycle—from mission concept through launch and mission operations. Unlike traditional subsystem or systems engineering roles, Mission Engineers maintain a mission-wide perspective and balance competing technical, schedule, cost, and risk considerations to achieve overall mission success. If you are; Systems thinker who naturally considers mission success above subsystem optimization. Strong technical leadership with the ability to influence without direct authority. Excellent judgment when balancing technical performance, cost, schedule, and mission risk. Ability to make timely, data-driven decisions under uncertainty. Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment with evolving mission priorities. Passion for advancing lunar exploration and enabling successful space missions. Join our team on our journey to the moon!
