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 will architect and deliver software systems for space robotics - spanning satellites, spacecraft, robotic arms, and drones - for clients operating at the frontier of the space industry. You will shape technical strategy from early requirements through space-qualified product launch, engage clients at the executive level, and drive innovation across both flight and ground systems.
This is a US-based remote role with an anticipated base salary range of $130,000.00 – $220,000.00 annually, plus variable compensation.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Design and own end-to-end software architecture for space robotics systems, covering flight software, ground systems, and simulation environments
- Develop production-ready and prototype solutions for diverse space platforms, including mobile robots, robotic arms, and autonomous spacecraft
- Collaborate with clients and cross-functional teams to translate mission requirements into robust, real-time embedded software architectures
- Define verification, validation, and integration strategies for flight software across safety-critical and space-qualified environments
- Build and validate simulations using Isaac Sim, NVIDIA Omniverse, or MATLAB to support development, testing, and HITL workflows
- Research emerging trends in space robotics - navigation, sensing, and autonomy – and apply modern approaches to active client engagements
- Lead pre-sales activities, including technical workshops, architecture presentations, and C-level client engagements
REQUIREMENTS
- Hands-on experience designing and developing application software for flight and ground systems, including satellite or spacecraft software delivered to production
- Strong command of C/C++ and Python for embedded Linux systems, with experience implementing real-time software on spacecraft or autonomous platforms
- Solid experience with verification, validation, and integration of flight software - from requirements through space-qualified launch
- Knowledge of spacecraft communication protocols such as CCSDS, CAN, or SpaceWire
- Experience with robotics simulation tools, including Isaac Sim, NVIDIA Omniverse, Gazebo, or MATLAB/Simulink in an aerospace context
- Experience with autonomous systems software - spacecraft and satellites preferred; UAVs or self-driving systems also considered
- Proven ability to design software architectures and implement efficient algorithms for complex, resource-constrained embedded environments
