SLAM Robotics Engineer Jobs

SLAM Robotics Engineer Jobs (Remote, US)

Rex.zone is hiring SLAM Robotics Engineers to build, optimize, and validate real-time localization and mapping systems for autonomous robots. You will fuse LiDAR, camera, IMU, wheel odometry, and GPS; improve pose estimation accuracy; and deliver robust SLAM outputs used by navigation stacks in production.

Key Responsibilities

• Own SLAM workflows including sensor calibration, time synchronization, and multi-sensor fusion
• Build and tune visual SLAM and LiDAR SLAM pipelines (scan matching, VIO, pose graphs)
• Implement state estimation (EKF/UKF), factor graph optimization, and loop closure strategies
• Improve mapping, relocalization, and drift mitigation over long trajectories
• Integrate SLAM outputs with navigation stack components (odometry, costmaps, planners)
• Create evaluation suites using rosbag playback, simulation, and ground-truth benchmarking (ATE/RPE)
• Debug field failures using logs, metrics, and reproducible test cases
• Write production-grade robotics software with profiling, CI, and testing
  
  

Required Qualifications

• Mid-Senior experience delivering SLAM/localization systems for robots
• Strong C++ and practical Python for tooling and evaluation
• Hands-on experience with ROS/ROS2 and tf transforms
• Strong fundamentals in estimation, probability, optimization, and geometry
• Experience with at least one: visual-inertial odometry, scan matching/ICP, pose graphs, factor graphs
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience shipping autonomy on AMRs, drones, or field robotics
• Familiarity with OpenCV, PCL, Eigen, and optimization libraries (e.g., GTSAM/Ceres)
• Simulation experience (Gazebo, Isaac Sim) and dataset-driven validation
  
  

Compensation

Competitive hourly base pay: $30–$50/hour (USD), depending on experience.
