About Intuitive Machines
Intuitive Machines is an innovative and cutting‑edge space company making cislunar space accessible to both public and private customers. Our mission is to further science and exploration, communications, and economic progress from the Earth to the Moon and beyond. With the first commercial lunar landing in history, multiple NASA lunar missions in development, and additional private missions on our manifest, we pride ourselves in supporting our customers and the nation in paving the way to return humans to the surface of the Moon. Our world‑class team includes experts in all aspects of spacecraft subsystems design, development, and test, on‑orbit operations, and safety.
Employment in this role is contingent upon NASA selecting Intuitive Machines as the winner of the LTVS program, scheduled for announcement later in 2025.
Responsibilities
Design, implement, test, and “own” environmental, vehicle and I/O simulation models
Collaborate with vehicle software, GNC, and other subsystem engineers and subject matter experts in creating high‑fidelity environment, sensor, effector, and interface models
Create and execute simulation model verification tests
Faster‑than‑real‑time and real‑time spacecraft simulation development and maintenance
Hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HWIL) simulation development and testing
Human‑in‑the‑loop simulation development
Support Fault, Detection, Isolation, and Recovery (FDIR) testing through fault modeling
Write model unit tests and coordinate high‑level testing of implemented models
Develop and maintain Software Quality Assurance (SQA) tools
Provide simulation support to flight software, ground software, and operations teams
Requirements
BS or MS in Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or related field with 5+ years of experience preferred
C, C++, and Python programming experience
6‑degrees‑of‑freedom simulation development experience
Experience in one or more areas including spacecraft dynamics, thermal modeling, power modeling, RF comm modeling, sensor modeling (IMUs, star trackers, LIDAR, etc), GNC software integration
Experience with Agile software development tools and processes
Experience with Atlassian tools, Git version control, Gitlab, Docker, and Linux is preferred
Experience with the following is a plus:
High Level Architecture (HLA)
Core Flight Software
