Flexible Work Model
Work from home, from the office, or in a hybrid format that supports focus and collaboration.
ABOUT THE ROLE
In this role, you'll design and develop software for space robots - mobile robots, robotic arms, and drones - as part of SoftServe's Robotics Group, a team working at the intersection of space robotics, autonomous systems, and industrial automation. You'll own solutions end-to-end, from early concept to delivery, and engage directly with world-leading clients across space, energy, medical, and manufacturing domains.
This is a US-based remote role with an anticipated base salary range of $138,000.00 – $217,000.00 annually, plus variable compensation.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Design and develop software solutions for space robots using C/C++ and Python on embedded Linux systems, from rapid prototypes to production-ready products
- Verify, validate, and integrate flight software - from requirements definition through to space-qualified, launch-ready products
- Test robotics solutions in simulation environments such as NVIDIA Isaac Sim, NVIDIA Omniverse, and MATLAB, and validate them in real-world conditions
- Design automated robotic systems to improve production efficiency and precision across space, energy, medical, and industrial domains
- Research emerging trends in robotics navigation, sensing, decision-making, and robotic mechanism performance, and share findings with the team
- Lead client workshops, deliver technical presentations to C-level stakeholders, and contribute to solution estimations and proposals as part of presales activities
- Collaborate with space team leads, delivery managers, and company leadership across multiple concurrent projects
REQUIREMENTS
- Proven experience in architecture and development of application software for flight and ground systems
- Hands-on experience writing satellite or spacecraft software
- Strong background in verification, validation, and integration of flight software - from requirements through to launched, space-qualified products
- Proficiency in C/C++ and Python for embedded Linux systems
- Experience with simulation and automation of manufacturing processes, including rockets and rocket components
- Confident in conducting technical presales activities - workshops, presentations, and C-level meetings
- Strong mathematical foundation with an analytical, detail-oriented approach to problem-solving
- Familiarity with spacecraft communication protocols such as CCSDS, CAN, or SpaceWire (as an advantage)
- Experience with autonomous systems and simulation tools, including NVIDIA Isaac Sim, NVIDIA Omniverse, ANSYS, or MATLAB (would be a plus)
This is a leadership role where you will drive impact in two main directions:
-
Leading People
Hire and onboard talent, build trust and inclusion, set clear priorities, coach growth, deliver results, and lead change aligned to our values.
-
Leading Business
Deliver client value through business understanding, market and financial insight, global collaboration, and continuous improvement.
