Robotics Engineer

Robotics Engineering Jobs (Remote, US)

As a Robotics Engineer at Rex.zone, you will design, build, and deploy production-grade autonomy capabilities across perception, localization, mapping, planning, and controls. You will work end-to-end across simulation, log analysis, field testing, and performance tuning to ensure robust behavior under real-world constraints (latency, sensor noise, changing environments).

Apply via Rex.zone with your resume and a short summary of shipped robotics systems and measurable outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain robotics software modules for perception, localization, mapping, planning, and controls
• Implement ROS2 nodes, message interfaces, and lifecycle management
• Develop and validate SLAM and sensor fusion pipelines (IMU, LiDAR, camera, wheel odometry)
• Integrate path planning and trajectory optimization for mobile robots and manipulators
• Create simulation and test harnesses (Gazebo, Isaac Sim) and support hardware-in-the-loop validation
• Establish calibration, logging, and observability practices for repeatable experiments
• Optimize runtime performance, determinism, and safety constraints for deployment
• Collaborate on requirements, design reviews, and incident retrospectives to improve reliability
  
  

Required Qualifications

• Mid-senior experience delivering robotics systems in production or advanced prototypes
• Strong C++ and Python for robotics software development
• Hands-on experience with ROS2 tooling, debugging, and package management
• Understanding of state estimation and multi-sensor fusion (e.g., Kalman filtering concepts)
• Familiarity with SLAM, coordinate frames, transforms, motion planning, and control loops
• Strong Linux development skills and experience with CI/testing for robotics codebases
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Computer vision and perception integration (e.g., feature tracking, depth, stereo)
• Real-time considerations, threading, and performance profiling
• Manipulation planning, grasping pipelines, or whole-body control
• Safety standards, fault detection, recovery strategies, and autonomy evaluation metrics
  
  

Compensation

• Competitive hourly rate: $30–$50/hr (USD)
