Job Description

Robotics Engineer (Remote, Full-Time)

Rex.zone connects mid-senior robotics engineers to remote roles building production-grade robotic systems and AI-enabled automation. You will develop autonomy features for mobile robots and/or manipulators, improving safety, reliability, and real-world performance.

Responsibilities

  • Own robotics software modules for perception, localization, mapping, planning, and control
  • Develop ROS 2 nodes and interfaces for sensors and actuators
  • Build and tune SLAM and sensor fusion pipelines using LiDAR, camera, IMU, and wheel odometry
  • Implement motion planning and control strategies for mobile robots and/or manipulators
  • Create simulation-first workflows in Gazebo or Isaac Sim with repeatable test scenarios
  • Run hardware-in-the-loop and field testing, analyze logs, and drive root-cause fixes
  • Improve real-time performance, reliability, and safety constraints across the stack
  • Maintain engineering standards: code review, CI, documentation, and release management

Requirements

  • Mid-senior experience shipping robotics features to real hardware
  • Strong C++ and Python skills in Linux environments
  • Hands-on experience with ROS 2 (tf2, launch, and common ROS tooling)
  • Practical knowledge of SLAM, state estimation, and sensor fusion
  • Familiarity with motion planning and control systems
  • Ability to debug distributed robotics systems using logs, rosbag, profiling, and on-robot testing
  • Experience with simulation, testing pipelines, and reproducible experiments
  • Clear communication and collaboration in a remote team

Nice to Have

  • Computer vision for robotics
  • MoveIt / manipulation planning
  • Docker-based deployment and CI/CD
  • Safety practices, fault handling, and system monitoring

Compensation

$30–$50 per hour (base pay), depending on experience and scope.
