Job Description
🤖 CST | Senior Robotics & Automation Software Engineer (Lead)
📍 Oklahoma City, OK (On-Site) / Relocation Welcomed!
🏢 Partnered Search via Career Staffing Talent (CST)
💼 Full-Time | Robotics | Aerospace Automation
💰 Competitive Base + Bonus (DOE)
Career Staffing Talent (CST) is partnered with a next-generation robotics company deploying Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) solutions across aerospace manufacturing and maintenance environments.
This is not a “lab role.” This is real-world robotics at scale.
We’re looking for a Lead Software Engineer to architect and deploy autonomous systems operating in mission-critical, production environments. You’ll sit at the center of perception, planning, and motion — owning systems end-to-end and helping define how these robots perform in the field.
If you’re a builder who wants to see your code move physical systems in the real world, this is worth a conversation.
All inquiries are strictly confidential.
🚀 What You’ll Own
- Lead development of robotic and mobile manipulator software systems operating in production environments
- Architect real-time systems across motion control, kinematics, and trajectory planning
- Build autonomy stacks — perception, localization, mapping, sensor fusion, intelligent task execution
- Develop and scale ROS 2 / MoveIt pipelines (C++ / Python)
- Own full-stack integration across mechanical, electrical, and controls systems
- Optimize system performance — latency, synchronization, calibration, and reliability
- Design simulation environments, HIL testing frameworks, and telemetry pipelines
- Set the bar for engineering — code quality, CI/CD, testing, and system robustness
- Mentor engineers and lead design + code reviews
- Partner with operations to deploy and support robotic systems in the field

- Your work goes from code → robot → real-world execution
- High ownership — you’re shaping systems, not maintaining them
- Direct exposure to both engineering and field operations
- Opportunity to help define next-gen autonomy in aerospace environments
- This is a high-impact seat — you won’t be another cog in the wheel; you’ll directly shape how real-world robotic systems are built, deployed, and scaled.
