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.

About The Role

As the Simulation Software Technical Lead for the LTV program, you will provide technical direction and hands-on leadership for the design, implementation, integration, and validation of high-fidelity simulation environments. You will guide a multidisciplinary team of developers and engineers in building, testing, and maintaining simulation models that accurately represent spacecraft dynamics, environmental interactions, and system behavior. This role requires a deep understanding of software architecture, simulation frameworks, and spacecraft system modeling, as well as strong communication and mentoring skills.

• 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 :

The ideal candidate for the role of Simulation and Modeling Software Developer will be encouraged to take initiative in developing, maintaining, and improving simulation models, tools, and infrastructure. The position is multidisciplinary in nature as the simulation supports a number of internal and external customers which requires regular collaboration with other subsystem engineers for model development and technical support for simulation environments (HWIL simulations, FDIR testing, operations training, etc).
