Lunar Terrain Vehicle Services (LTVS) is 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.

Safety engineers develop an overall understanding of the vehicle and vehicle operation and ensure hazards are identified, understood, and mitigated across the vehicle and within an integrated Artemis system. This is a key role in ensuring the safe operation of the LTV and the success of the Artemis missions. Experienced and new hire positions are available for this role.

Candidates are expected to have experience and be proficient with:

• Ensuring safety plans follows NASA safety standards and identifies a system for managing safety risks by identifying, characterizing, communicating, and mitigating hazards to eliminate, reduce, or control the hazard.
