At ispace the hiring process is more than just a series of steps
It’s a reflection of our Culture. We create the innovation necessary for the Lunar Quest by valuing the diverse experience and viewpoints that push us beyond convention.
First step
The more skills you bring to the table, the better — but building a fulfilling career starts with passion. It’s hard to thrive in a role that doesn’t excite you. Before you dive into the application we recommend taking an often overlooked first step: focus on yourself.
Your Resume
Its tempting to quickly update a general resume with your latest experience and send it off, but we encourage a more tailored approach. Carefully review the job description, identify the key skills and align your relevant experience to match them. This strengthens your application.
Location
If you are considering applying for positions in Japan, we encourage you to take the time to thoroughly research various aspects of life in Japan, including language, cost of living, tax obligagions and more. Reflect on whether this is truly the right path for you before moving forward.
Nationality
ispace operates in compliance with International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Japan’s export control regulations. Successful candidates must meet the nationality requirements of these regulations and ispace reserves the right to request proof of nationality during the recruitment process.
