Robotics Engineer

Robotics Engineer (Remote, US)

Rex.zone connects mid-senior engineers with remote, full-time robotics work across autonomy, perception, motion planning, simulation, testing, and deployment. You will help ship production-grade robotic applications by improving reliability, safety, and performance using simulation-first validation and structured on-robot testing.

About The Role

Design, implement, and validate core autonomy capabilities for robotic systems spanning robot software architecture, perception/state estimation, motion planning, and closed-loop control. Collaborate cross-functionally to translate product requirements into deployable behaviors, and use simulation plus real-world testing to improve robustness and uptime.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain ROS2-based robotics software modules for perception, planning, and control
• Integrate and calibrate sensors (cameras, LiDAR, IMU, encoders) and implement sensor fusion pipelines
• Develop SLAM and localization components; improve drift, relocalization, and map management
• Implement motion planning and trajectory optimization for smooth, safe navigation
• Create simulation scenarios (e.g., Gazebo) to reproduce issues and validate features pre-deployment
• Develop automated testing, logging, replay, and regression workflows
• Profile and optimize latency, throughput, and resource usage on edge compute platforms
• Partner with hardware, firmware, and cloud teams to deliver end-to-end robotic features and telemetry
  
  

Required Qualifications

• Mid-senior experience shipping robotics or automation systems in production
• Strong C++ and Python skills for real-time robotics applications
• Hands-on experience with ROS2 and distributed robotic systems
• Practical understanding of SLAM/localization, perception, sensor fusion, and control basics
• Experience with simulation, unit/integration testing, and CI for robotics codebases
• Ability to diagnose field issues using logs, metrics, and reproducible experiments
• Comfort working remotely with strong written communication and async collaboration
  
  

Work Context

• Remote role remains explicitly Remote; full-time schedule aligned with engineering delivery
• Collaboration via code reviews, design docs, and issue tracking
• Clear success metrics tied to autonomy reliability, navigation performance, and system uptime
  
  

Compensation

Hourly range: $30–$50 per hour (base salary). Final offer may vary based on experience and scope.

How To Apply
