Automotive Robotics Engineer — Remote

About The Role

Rex.zone is hiring an Automotive Robotics Engineer (Querétaro) — Remote to engineer and deploy robotics solutions used in automotive manufacturing workflows (welding, sealing, painting, assembly, and metrology). This is a remote, full-time role supporting plant and supplier deployments connected to Querétaro hiring demand and global teams.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain robotics software modules (ROS2 nodes, drivers, middleware) for industrial robot applications
• Implement motion planning and trajectory generation with collision checking, constraints, and cycle-time optimization
• Develop perception components for robot guidance and inspection using computer vision, calibration, and sensor fusion
• Integrate robotics systems with PLCs and industrial networks (OPC UA/EtherNet/IP/PROFINET as applicable)
• Define acceptance tests and validation plans: repeatability, accuracy, takt time, fault recovery, and safety behaviors
• Diagnose field issues using logs, traces, and telemetry; implement robust error handling and recovery
• Produce engineering documentation: interfaces, configuration management, and change control for production deployments
  
  

Qualifications

• Mid-Senior experience in robotics engineering for industrial automation or automotive manufacturing
• Strong fundamentals: kinematics, dynamics, controls, motion planning, calibration, and state estimation
• Proficiency in C++ and/or Python; ROS2 experience strongly preferred
• Experience with industrial robot programming/integration (ABB, FANUC, KUKA, Yaskawa, UR, or equivalent)
• Working knowledge of functional safety concepts and safe robotics operation
  
  

Nice to Have

• Vision-guided robotics with 2D/3D sensors and metrology/inspection pipelines
• Simulation/digital twins (Gazebo/Isaac Sim/MoveIt/industrial simulators)
• Exposure to ML-enabled perception, dataset curation, labeling strategy, and evaluation
  
  

Compensation

Base salary range: $30–$50 per hour (HOURLY), depending on skills and experience.
