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
