Job description

In this role, you will define and lead the architecture of complex robotics systems across multiple domains, including mobile robots, robotic arms, drones, and autonomous platforms. Working within SoftServe’s Robotics Group, you will operate at the intersection of system architecture, engineering delivery, and client collaboration, shaping scalable robotics solutions and driving technical excellence across projects and teams.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Designing and developing solutions for different kinds of space robots (mobile robots, robotic arms, drones)
• Building multiple rapid prototypes as well as production-ready solutions
• Testing robotics solutions both in simulation and in the real world
• Designing automated robotic systems used to increase the production and precision levels within a specific industry, but not be limited to the space domain only
• Performing regular research of the latest trends and modern approaches in robotics (navigation, sensing, decision making, performance of robotic mechanism components or systems, etc.)
• Taking part in pre-sales activities

REQUIREMENTS

• Experienced in architecture and development of application software for flight and ground systems. Involved in technical pre-sales activities (presentations, workshops, etc.), C-level presentation skills
• Directly experienced writing satellite or spacecraft software
• Experienced in simulation and automation of manufacturing processes such as the manufacturing of rockets and rocket components, such as engines, etc.
• Experienced in verification, validation, and integration of flight software
• Feeling at home programming in C/C++ and Python for embedded Linux systms
• Experienced in working from requirements to space-qualified products being launched into space
• A person with a hands-on, can-do attitude, team player, great interpersonal skills, and the ability to collaborate effectively
• Highly attentive to details with strong analytical skills, mathematical foundation, and a problem-solving attitude
• A technology enthusiast who enjoys expanding the knowledge and share it with others
• Experienced with software running in autonomous systems (satellites and spacecraft preferred, but other examples would include UAVs, self-driving cars, etc), NVIDIA Isaac Sim, NVIDIA Omniverse, or other simulation tools
• High-fidelity simulations with ANSYS, Matlab, etc.
• Implement software for automated testing at component, functional, and system levels, including HITL (Hardware in the Loop) testing
• Experience with HDL design for FPGAs (is not a must)
• Proficient in FPGA design using VHDL/Verilog, Vivado, and ModelS
