Robotics Engineer (Remote, Full-Time)
Rex.zone is hiring a mid-senior Robotics Engineer to build, implement, and evaluate real-world autonomy workflows across perception, planning, and control. This role blends robotics software engineering with rigorous dataset creation, QA evaluation, prompt evaluation, and safety-focused validation to improve ML-driven robotics reliability.
Key Responsibilities
-
Own robotics perception, planning, and control modules with measurable reliability targets
-
Build simulation-to-real evaluation workflows using logs/bags and scenario replays
-
Define and enforce annotation guidelines and labeling taxonomies for vision/sensor/task data
-
Perform QA evaluation of labeled datasets and model outputs; drive training data quality improvements
-
Run prompt evaluation for instruction-following and operator tooling used in robotics workflows
-
Support RLHF-style preference data collection for behavior selection and safety constraints when applicable
-
Conduct error analysis, regression testing, and benchmark reporting
-
Collaborate cross-functionally to align priorities, acceptance criteria, and deployment readiness
Required Qualifications
-
Mid-senior experience building robotics systems in production or advanced R&D
-
Strong Python and C++ skills; comfortable with ROS2-based development
-
Hands-on knowledge of robot perception, computer vision, SLAM, and sensor fusion
-
Experience with motion planning and control systems, including real-world debugging
-
Familiarity with dataset creation, data labeling workflows, and training data quality principles
-
Ability to write clear documentation, labeling specs, and test plans
Preferred Qualifications
-
Experience with Gazebo/Ignition (or similar) simulation and autonomy evaluation
-
Exposure to LLM-assisted robotics tooling, prompt evaluation, and safety review
-
Familiarity with RLHF concepts and human-in-the-loop evaluation
