Space and Aviation Sector
The number of stars〈★〉 indicates the relative placement within the team.
-
Wireless and Radio Engineer ★★☆☆☆We identify essential requirements through detailed consultations, even for positions rarely seen in the job market. Our track record includes successful placements at space startups and publicly listed space tech companies, such as recruiting candidates with extensive experience in RF system design and development from other industries.
-
Embedded Software Engineer ★★★★☆Experience in the aerospace industry is often not a mandatory requirement for hiring. Consequently, we have successfully formed candidate pools that include engineers with extensive experience in automotive system development using C/C++ and real-time operating systems, leading to numerous placements.
-
Flight Dynamics Engineer ★★★☆☆We conducted a specialized search, including foreign candidates, for positions requiring expertise in satellite orbit simulation and analysis alongside advanced software engineering experience, precisely matching candidates to the requirements. We also handle highly challenging projects.
-
AOCS/GNC Engineer ★★★☆☆This position requires nearly mandatory practical experience, making it difficult to find suitable candidates through active job seeker searches. Consequently, it relies heavily on placements leveraging foreign talent and networks within technical and academic communities.
-
Satellite Operations Engineer ★★☆☆☆This position requires strong communication skills in both Japanese and English, along with extensive knowledge and experience in operational design. We have a track record of placements at space tech companies involved in satellite development and operations.
-
Corporate Department Staff ★★★☆☆We also have extensive experience filling niche positions in accounting, finance, and HR, including roles requiring specialized knowledge such as grant and subsidy applications common in the space industry. We introduce experts with strong document preparation and legal knowledge, often securing placement within about one month.
-
QA Engineer ★☆☆☆☆Experience as a QA engineer in software development is essential, and expertise in software quality management aligned with aerospace and defense industry quality management standards (such as AS/EN/JIS Q 9100) and standardization of design and development processes may also be required. Consequently, such professionals are rare in the job market, but we have a proven track record of successful placements with publicly listed space tech companies.
Autonomous Driving Technology Development Field
The number of stars〈★〉 indicates the relative placement within the team.
-
Embedded Software Engineer ★★★★☆AD/ADAS (Autonomous Driving/Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) software development requires professionals with programming skills in C/C++, Python, and other languages, coupled with deep expertise in processes such as simulation, AI, sensor data processing, control algorithms, and verification (QA/QC). We maintain an extensive talent database in this field and have a proven track record of successful placements.
-
Automotive Technical Sales ★☆☆☆☆This position requires a rare technical background in the automotive industry, spanning from requirements definition to development, and demands the ability to propose optimal solutions to clients. However, we have successfully introduced and placed highly capable bilingual foreign talent into this role.
-
Automotive CAE Engineer ★☆☆☆☆In the automotive industry, we have placed experienced CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) engineers who utilize simulation from the early stages of product development to evaluate and optimize vehicle performance.
-
Industrial Designer ★★★☆☆Professionals capable of leading engineering design projects based on the DFx (Design for Excellence) concept—which encompasses efficiency, quality improvement, maintainability, and environmental impact throughout the entire product lifecycle—are highly sought-after and fall into the high-difficulty category in the job market. We have multiple placement records for this position as well.
-
Security Consultant ★★☆☆☆The automotive cybersecurity market is expanding alongside the development of autonomous driving technology. We have placed candidates in security consultant positions focused on security threat analysis and risk assessment for security modules implemented in vehicle ECUs.

Prakash Kandel
Hi, I'm Prakash, Consultant at Talisman Corporation specializing in Automotive industry.
I work with companies in the tech, mobility, and automotive space to help them find the right people to grow their teams. Most of the roles I support are based in Japan, but many of the companies I partner with have a global presence. Whether it's finding a product leader for a growing startup or an engineer for a cutting-edge ADAS project, I try to approach every search with a mix of curiosity, care, and common sense.
I don’t see recruitment as just filling roles. For me, it’s about understanding what really matters to both the company and the candidate, and making sure there’s alignment beyond just the job description. I enjoy helping candidates prepare for important interviews and giving clients honest feedback about what the market looks like and how they can stand out.
Over the years, I’ve worked across a wide range of roles from embedded software and system validation to leadership in product and engineering. The variety keeps things interesting, but what I enjoy most is building trust and being useful in moments that matter.
Outside of work, I’m usually walking around Tokyo, catching up on ideas I’ve saved but never finished, or reflecting on how small conversations at one of my events can lead to surprising opportunities.
