Location	Kashiwa-shi, Chiba-ken
Company	A Japanese startup developing propulsion system (water engine) for microsatellites. Their propulsion system is mainly used for attitude control / orbit change of satellites. Increase of its usage is considered as certain because of trends such as avoidance / deterrence of debris, ease of orbit injection. Year of foundation: 2020 Workforces: approx. 30 Capital: 100 million yen
Job Description	Responsibility: - Design and implementation of actuator's real-time control (sequence control and close-loop control) in C on microcontroller (32 / 16/ 8 bit) - Design and implementation of UART (RS422), I2C, SPI communication - Building testing environment on PC (Visual C# etc.) Attractiveness: - You can put yourself in cutting-edge development of electrical propulsion system, which is receiving attention these years - You will take part in various phases of satellite's propulsion system, from concept design, to manufacturing, to testing, to operation in the space - Work will not only include coding, but also development closely tied with hardware where you verify software using actual propulsion machine - You will have an opportunity to resolve mechanical / electrical constraints that comes with miniaturization by the power of software
Requirement	Must have: - Experience of microcontroller development and evaluation in C - Knowledge and experience about software implementation that supports communication methods e.g. UART (RS422), I2C, SPI - General knowledge and development experience in sequence control, close-loop control - Experience using SaaS Nice to have: - Experience developing on PIC microcontroller - Experience developing driver for microcontroller - Experience using JTAG - Experience using Git - Experience related to development and design of electric / electronic circuit - Experience developing evaluation program including PC GUI Soft skills: - Principle-based thinking - Continuous effort to verbalize the idea - Perseverance in tough situation - Proactive planning and commitment to execution - Ability to discuss based on fact and logic free from prejudice
