Qualified candidates will support the software development on the Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV). Lunar Terrain Vehicle Services (LTVS) provides a human-class rover that will extend the exploration range of Artemis crew members on the surface of the Moon. Mobility will enable the humans to traverse greater distances to better explore the Lunar Surface and make scientific discoveries and build the future of lunar development.

LTVS will also provide for uncrewed autonomous exploration. Odyssey Space Research provides key support in the development, training, and operation of the LTVS system.

Candidates will be innovative, analytical, and excited to further space exploration through their work on practical and impactful projects. Candidates are expected to be proficient with:

• C/C++, Simulation Development including thermal, power, navigation, and surface dynamics.
• Linux development environments
• Software development life cycles and software development tools (Docker, Jenkins, Git, Gitlab)
