WE ARE

SoftServe is a global digital solutions company, headquartered in Austin, Texas, founded in 1993. Our associates work on 2,000+ projects with clients in the USA, Europe, and LATAM. We are about people who create bold things, make a difference, have fun, and love their work.

SoftServe Robotics Group is a team of engineers and researchers building advanced robotics solutions across terrestrial and space domains. The team works on mobile robots, robotic arms, drones, autonomous systems, high-fidelity simulation, and embedded robotics software.

The environment is supportive and collaborative, enabling continuous growth, experimentation, and influence on next-generation robotics solutions. As the group expands work in space robotics and simulation, the focus is on designing architectures for flight and ground systems, leading technical direction, and contributing to research and prototyping.
