衛星通信機器や宇宙探査用電子機器の開発を通じて、宇宙通信と探査技術を支援
近年ではベンチャー企業の勃興が目立ちます。特に大学などから派生した約100社のスタートアップ・ベンチャー企業が、宇宙分野で活発に事業を開始しています。代表的なスタートアップ企業を以下に記載します。
- ispace
月面探査、ペイロードサービス(月面や月周回軌道への輸送)などの事業を行う - QPS研究所
天候や時間に関係なく地表観測が可能な小型SAR衛星を開発 - アストロスケール
スペースデブリ(宇宙ごみ)除去などの軌道上サービスを手掛ける - アクセルスペース
超小型衛星の開発と地球観測サービス事業などを行う
日本の宇宙産業の市場規模は現在約4兆円ですが、政府は2030年代の早い段階でその規模を倍増(約8兆円)することを目指しており、JAXAに10年で1兆円規模の「宇宙戦略基金」を設置しました。2024年7月から順次公募を開始しており、まずは宇宙輸送・衛星・探査の3分野、22のテーマで最大3000億円の資金提供を行います。民間企業や大学などが資金面から中長期で支援されることで、これまで以上に国内の宇宙ビジネスの活性化が期待されています。
宇宙開発技術のトレンド
技術的なトレンドとしては、再利用可能なロケット技術や宇宙ゴミ(スペースデブリ)の除去、人工衛星の小型化、衛星コンステレーション(複数の小型衛星によるネットワーク)技術の進展が注目されています。そしてその周辺には、ロボット遠隔操作技術をはじめとした探査技術、地表観測技術などがそれぞれ発展を遂げています。
日本においては、政府によって2024年に新たに策定された「宇宙技術戦略」に沿って、月面探査・開発に関わる月着陸、通信、月資源開発・利用といった各技術の開発も重要視されています。
これらの新技術は、宇宙へのアクセスコストを大幅に削減し、宇宙ビジネスの拡大を促進しています。また、商業的な地球観測衛星データの利用や宇宙インフラの構築も進んでおり、防災・減災、環境モニタリング、農業支援など幅広い分野での応用が期待されています。

The space tech industry has been growing rapidly in recent years, with the global space industry market size reaching approximately 54 trillion yen in 2022. In addition, according to Morgan Stanley’s forecast,the market size will reach 140 trillion yen by 2040. Considering that the market size of the entire automobile industry, which has developed over more than 100 years since the Industrial Revolution, is estimated to be about 400 trillion yen, the market size and growth speed of the space industry may be objectively understood.The evolution of technology and the active participation of private companies have contributed greatly to this growth, and the transition from the traditional public-sector initiative to private-sector initiative is underway.(Current market breakdown: about one-quarter of the total market is government budget, and about three-quarters is private companies’ commercial satellite services and space transportation-related)
※Calculated at 140 yen to the dollar.
Space development in Japan has for many years been driven mainly by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and the following major heavy industry and electronics companies.
- Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.
Leader in Japanese space transportation technology, responsible for the development and launch of the H-IIA and H3 rockets. - SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation
As Japan’s largest satellite operator, it has played an important role in the operation of communications and broadcasting satellites - NEC Corporation
Supported satellite development and the HAYABUSA project, contributing to space exploration and satellite technology - TOSHIBA CORPORATION
Supported space communications and exploration technology through the development of satellite communications equipment and space exploration electronics
Recent years have seen the emergence of venture companies.In particular, about 100 start-up ventures derived from universities and other institutions are actively starting operations in the space sector. Representative start-ups are listed below.
- ispace
Lunar exploration and payload services (transport to the moon’s surface and lunar orbit). - iQPS, Inc.
Development of a small SAR satellite capable of observing the earth’s surface regardless of weather conditions and day/night time. - Astroscale Japan Inc.
Involved in space debris removal and other on-orbit services. - Axelspace Corporation
Development of microsatellites and earth observation service projects, etc.
The Japanese space industry currently has a market size of approximately 4 trillion yen, but the Government aims to double this in the early 2030s (to approximately 8 trillion yen) and has established a 10-year, 1 trillion yen ‘Space Strategy Fund’ at JAXA. The fund will initially provide up to 300 billion yen in 22 themes in the three fields of space transportation, satellites and exploration. It is expected that medium- to long-term financial support for private companies and universities will stimulate the space business in Japan to a greater extent than ever before.
As for technological trends, advances in technologies such as reusable rocket technology, space debris removal, miniaturisation of satellites and satellite constellations (networks of several small satellites) are notable.And around them, exploration technology, including robot teleoperation technology, and surface observation technology have developed respectively.
In Japan, in line with the Space Technology Strategy newly formulated by the Japanese Government for 2024, the development of various technologies related to lunar exploration and development, such as lunar landing, communications and lunar resource development and utilisation, is also of high importance.
These new technologies have significantly reduced the cost of access to space and facilitated the expansion of space business. Commercial Earth observation satellite data and space infrastructure are also being developed, with potential applications in a wide range of fields, including disaster prevention and mitigation, environmental monitoring and agricultural support.

There are many opportunities in engineering jobs related to satellite development and rocket launches. Due to the increasing complexity of each project, engineers with a wealth of practical experience are required, and it is generally a difficult field for those with no industry experience to take on the challenge. Embedded software engineers are also required to have a major or experience in a similar field, such as automotive or robotics. - Data scientist and analytical engineer
These positions analyse the vast amounts of data acquired from satellites and space exploration missions, and are in increasing demand by governments and commercial companies in many countries, particularly for their ability to utilise AI and big data.
- USA
The USA is a leader in space tech, with some 5,600 space companies (as of 2021), mainly large companies such as SpaceX, Blue Origin, Boeing and Northrop Grumman, generating a relatively large number of job opportunities. Engineering jobs are also increasing, particularly in California, where SpaceX is also headquartered, and in Texas, which is home to many technology companies and has historically been a leader in space exploration from the Johnson Space Center. - EU
Europe is also seeing an increase in job opportunities, particularly in ESA (European Space Agency) and Airbus Defence and Space. The UK (world’s second-largest space company), Germany (fourth-largest) and France (seventh-largest) are of particular interest, as are their participation in space exploration and communications satellite projects.
- Changing talent needs in each phase of the business
During the business start-up phase in space ventures, there is a high need for business positions and other positions that oversee the entire project. As the commercialisation and mass production phases progress, there is a tendency for highly specialised positions such as technical/solutions and manufacturing positions to be sought after.
The ideal candidate needs to be breakthrough and highly motivated in order to create and expand innovative businesses, and all positions tend to require people who can work on a global scale.

- Increase in low earth orbit (LEO) satellite projects
Business using low earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations is accelerating worldwide, including SpaceX’s Starlink in the USA, and the demand for engineers is expected to increase further as a result. In particular, the number of engineering jobs in satellite design and system operations is expected to increase. - Expansion of space exploration missions
Private companies as well as state-affiliated organisations are actively participating in space exploration missions, such as NASA’s privately procured payload transportation services (CLPS) to the Moon. Demand is expected to continue in projects related to Mars and lunar exploration, making this a field where long-term career development is possible.
- Attitude and Orbit Control System (AOCS) engineers
The increase in the number of satellites creates a greater demand for attitude and orbit control system (AOCS) engineers, who are particularly needed for satellite communications and observation missions, as they provide the technical support to ensure that satellites maintain their orbits accurately and are able to carry out their missions. - Flight Dynamics Engineer
The role of flight dynamics engineers, who perform orbit calculations and predictions during satellite operations and launches, is also becoming increasingly important. The need for such specialists will increase, especially in complex missions involving multiple satellites. - Data scientist
As the amount of data acquired from satellites grows, the demand for data scientists to analyse data and develop AI-based systems will continue to increase. Data analysis for new satellite missions, earth observation and weather data will become more advanced.
- Commercial space travel
In September 2024, the first ever ‘extra-vehicular activity’ in space by a private citizen was widely covered in the news by a SpaceX spacecraft. Commercial space travel led by SpaceX and Blue Origin is expected to continue to develop, and new occupations are likely to emerge, such as astronaut training, mission support and life support in the space environment. - Sustainability and space debris disposal
With the increase in satellite destruction experiments and small satellite constellations, space debris is also increasing at an accelerated rate, and the deterioration of the space usage environment is becoming an issue. As rules are developed around the world regarding the control of space debris generation in orbit and the reduction of space debris, demand for companies with debris disposal technology and satellite life extension technology is expected to increase and new jobs related to these technologies are also expected to increas.Japanese start-up Astroscale is one of the companies ahead of the US and Europe in debris removal technology demonstrations and is attracting a lot of attention.Ami

Japan Dev is a job site dedicated to engineers working in Japan, but you can also find jobs related to space exploration. The site is particularly useful for jobseekers looking to work for foreign companies or start-ups.
- Advantages of using a recruitment agent
Recruitment agents with expertise in the space exploration industry are more likely to be able to introduce you to private jobs, and there are many scouting opportunities available through these agents. They can also help you brush up your resume and prepare for interviews, so you can proceed with confidence even if this is your first job change.Unfortunately, there are still not many agents in Japan with dedicated space industry teams or consultants, but we Talisman are one of the few.AmiIn addition, although the space industry is becoming increasingly privatised, many projects are related to national politics, and from a security perspective, the country of origin of applicants may be restricted. However, some companies disclose this and some do not, so there are significant advantages to using an agent to avoid wasting effort.Ami
- Use of the scout function
It is important to enable the scout function on LinkedIn and other job sites and make your profile attractive. In particular, detail your technical skills and experience in space exploration projects to catch the attention of company recruiters.
- Technical questions
The space industry requires an in-depth understanding of the technical aspects of the industry, so many of the interview questions relate to technical specialisms. Technical interview questions are often related to your personal experience (CV) and you should be able to talk about them in depth by reviewing your own background rather than preparing for a pattern. From the stage of preparing your application, you should be looking ahead to the interview, reviewing your basic knowledge of your field of expertise and preparing to showcase your practical experience. - Questions on project experience
There are always questions about past projects. You should be able to give specific details about the scale of the projects you were involved in, the technical challenges and your role in the team. Highlight how you solved problems and contributed to the success of the project to demonstrate your practical skills. - 企業や国の文化に関する質問Questions about company and national culture
The fit with the culture of the company and the country is also a key factor to be checked. This is to minimise any gaps in the working environment and working style that you may experience after joining the company. For example, if you are moving from the US to Japan, you may be asked about the unique Japanese business style and salary gap.
- Emphasise problem-solving skills
In the field of space exploration, the ability to deal with unknown challenges is of great importance. Therefore, the key to success in an interview is to demonstrate your ‘problem-solving’ and ‘innovation’ skills. It is a good idea to prepare specific episodes of how you solved technical problems and troubles you actually experienced. - Teamwork and communication skills
Cooperation with multinational and multidisciplinary teams is essential in the space industry. In interviews, demonstrate your leadership and communication skills by talking about your role in teams on previous projects and specific examples of collaboration with other departments.
