Healthcare Robotics Engineer

About This Role

Rex.zone is hiring a remote, full-time Healthcare Robotics Engineer to help build and evaluate robotics systems used in healthcare settings. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams across AI/ML, QA, and product to deliver reliable robot behavior, strong test coverage, performance measurement, and production readiness.

What You Will Work On

• Design and implement robotics software for healthcare workflows (navigation, manipulation, task execution, monitoring) with production-grade reliability
• Develop perception pipelines using computer vision and sensor fusion (RGB-D, LiDAR, IMU) for localization, mapping, and obstacle avoidance
• Build motion planning and control modules for safe operation around patients and staff, including speed/force limits and fail-safe behavior
• Create simulation-first development loops (Gazebo/Ignition, Isaac Sim, Unity, or equivalent) to accelerate iteration and reduce risk
• Define test plans and validation metrics for deployment (latency, accuracy, uptime, recovery behavior)
• Instrument systems for observability (logs, traces, health checks) and support incident response and root-cause analysis
• Translate clinical requirements into engineering specs, acceptance criteria, and release gates
• Document architecture, interfaces, and operating procedures for safe deployment and maintainability
  
  

Required Qualifications

• Mid-Senior experience shipping robotics or autonomous systems in production or near-production environments
• Strong programming skills in Python and/or C++ with solid software engineering practices (code review, testing, CI)
• Hands-on experience with ROS/ROS2 and common robotics tools
• Experience with perception (computer vision), SLAM/localization, and/or motion planning
• Linux development and hardware/software integration experience
• Clear communication in a distributed, remote team with strong written documentation
  
  

Tools & tech

• ROS2, Python, C++, Linux, Docker, Git, CI/CD
• OpenCV and sensor fusion utilities
• SLAM toolkits, navigation stacks, motion planning libraries
• Simulation: Gazebo/Ignition, Isaac Sim, Unity, or equivalent
• Monitoring/telemetry: structured logging, metrics dashboards, on-device health checks
