Robotics Engineer (Remote, Full-Time)
Rex.zone is hiring for a remote Robotics Engineer role supporting US-based engineering teams. You will build and improve production-grade robotics software for autonomous systems spanning perception, localization/SLAM, motion planning, and controls, with a strong focus on reliability, testing, and validation in simulation and hardware-in-the-loop.
Key Responsibilities
-
Design, implement, and maintain ROS/ROS2 components for perception, planning, and control
-
Integrate sensors (LiDAR, cameras, IMU, encoders) including calibration, sensor fusion, and time synchronization
-
Build and tune SLAM/localization pipelines and navigation behaviors
-
Implement motion planning (trajectory generation, collision checking, recovery behaviors)
-
Develop and tune control algorithms (PID, MPC, or classical control) for safe operation
-
Create simulation and validation workflows using Gazebo/Isaac Sim; define metrics and regression tests
-
Establish HIL/field testing, log analysis, incident retrospectives, and reliability improvements
-
Contribute to CI/CD, code quality, documentation, and long-term maintainability
Required Qualifications
-
Mid-Senior experience delivering robotics/autonomous systems in production or advanced prototypes
-
Strong Python and C++ proficiency for robotics software development
-
Hands-on ROS/ROS2 experience (tf, navigation stacks, message definitions, launch tooling)
-
Understanding of estimation, coordinate frames, uncertainty, and practical deployment constraints
-
Linux-based development, debugging/profiling, and log-driven troubleshooting
Preferred Qualifications
-
Experience in logistics/warehouse, industrial automation, manufacturing, agriculture, or field robotics
-
Safety and reliability practices (fail-safes, watchdogs, redundancy)
-
Docker and CI pipelines; reproducible builds
-
Simulation robustness techniques (Gazebo/Isaac Sim plugins, domain randomization)
Compensation
Competitive hourly pay:
$30–$50/hr
(based on experience and scope).
