About the Position
Space Software Engineer
- Location: Pisa, Italy
- Employment Type: Full-time
- Remote Working: Possible, based on the schedule of experimental activities
At Fluid Wire Robotics, we are developing a new generation of dexterous robotic manipulators designed for extreme environments, from deep underwater to outer space, and even in radioactive zones. In this role, you will help turn our in-orbit demonstration of Fluid Wire technology into a real mission by defining architecture and developing software for our robotic payload.
Responsibilities
You’ll work within our Space Division, and you will be responsible for the software development of our robotic platforms to perform missions in the fields of In-Orbit Servicing & Assembly and Debris Removal. Your main tasks will include:
- Defining robot API architecture and developing software for the in-orbit demonstration of Fluid Wire technology.
- Integrating with space vessel systems to ensure communication between the ground station and space vessel for sending commands and receiving telemetry from the Fluid Wire Robotics payload.
Requirements
To be successful in this role, you should have:
- Studies in computer science or software engineering (master’s degree or PhD required).
- 5+ years of hands-on software development for space missions.
- Solid background in space software regulations (ECSS standards).
- Heritage in flight model software deployment.
- Good understanding of real-time systems and real-time operating systems for space applications.
- Understanding in API development.
- Background in satellite/space vessel communication stacks.
- Experience delivering embedded software in any C-family language.
- Use of common building and versioning tools.
- Knowledge of typical embedded communication interfaces such as USART, SPI, I2C, CAN, SpW, MIL-STD-1553, and related protocols.
- Good knowledge of telemetry and telecommand standards.
- Fluent professional English written and spoken.
Nice to Have
- Background in robotics and automation.
- Experience in software for advanced robotic systems, such as robotic arms or legged robots or humanoids.
- Familiarity with communication protocols, such as Ethernet, EtherCAT, CAN/CANopen, UDP/TCP, etc.
We Offer
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology in space robotics.
- Collaborative environment with world-class mechanical and electronics teams.
- Potential for remote work based on the schedule of experimental activities.
