Job Details

divh2Simulation and Modeling Software Developer/h2pHouston Texas/ppIntuitive 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./ph3About the Position:/h3pWe are seeking a talented and experienced Simulation and Modeling Software Developer to join our Software Simulation team. The Simulation and Modeling Developer will play a key role in developing models and building simulations that support design, analysis, and testing of flight software, GNC, and ground software as well as training for flight operations. 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 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)./ph3Responsibilities:/h3ulliDesign, implement, test, and own environmental, vehicle and I/O simulation models/liliCollaborate with flight software, GNC, and other subsystem engineers and subject matter experts in creating high-fidelity environment, sensor, effector, and interface models/liliCreate and execute simulation model verification tests/liliFaster-than-real-time and real-time spacecraft simulation development and maintenance/liliHardware-in-the-loop(HWIL)simulation development and testing/liliSupport Fault, Detection, Isolation, and Recovery(FDIR)testing through fault modeling/liliWrite model unit tests and coordinate high-level testing of implemented models/liliDevelop and maintain Software Quality Assurance(SQA)tools/liliProvide simulation support to flight software, ground software, and operations teams/li/ulpThe 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.
