Robotics Engineer (Remote) — Rex.zone
Join Rex.zone to help teams ship production robotics systems—from prototype to deployment. This remote-first, full-time role supports robotics engineering work across perception, SLAM/localization, sensor fusion, motion planning, control, simulation validation, and reliability testing.
Responsibilities
-
Build and maintain ROS/ROS2 nodes for perception, planning, and control
-
Implement and tune SLAM/localization and state estimation (sensor fusion)
-
Develop motion planning and control loops for navigation and manipulation
-
Create simulation-first validation workflows (Gazebo/Isaac Sim) and hardware-in-the-loop tests
-
Define test plans, logging/telemetry, metrics, and regression checks to improve safety and reliability
-
Optimize runtime performance on Linux edge platforms; profile latency and CPU/GPU usage
-
Document interfaces, message schemas, and operational runbooks for field support
Qualifications
-
Mid-senior experience delivering robotics software to real hardware deployments
-
Strong Python and C++ skills with modern software engineering practices
-
Hands-on experience with ROS/ROS2, debugging tools, and Linux development
-
Familiarity with autonomy stacks: perception, SLAM, planning, control, and safety
-
Comfort collaborating cross-functionally in a remote setting
Nice to Have
-
Manipulation experience (IK, grasp planning, trajectory optimization)
-
Embedded compute experience (e.g., Jetson) and real-time constraints
-
Exposure to robotics MLOps and dataset curation
Compensation
Base pay: $30–$50 per hour (USD), dependent on experience.
