Remote Autonomous Robotics Software Engineer

Rex.zone; United States; On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Rex.zone is seeking a Remote Robotics Engineer to develop production-grade software for autonomous systems using ROS/ROS 2. You will build, test, and deploy components with SLAM, perception, mapping, planning, and control across distributed teams.

The role emphasizes C++ and Python development, sensor fusion, and validation with Gazebo/Isaac Sim, plus strong debugging and CI/CD practices. Some coordination with hardware labs may occur.

Qualifications

• Production robotics software experience required.
• Strong C++ and Python development.
• Hands-on ROS/ROS 2 experience.
• Knowledge of estimation, kinematics, and control.
• Experience with sensor calibration and integration.

Responsibilities

• Develop ROS/ROS 2 robotics components in C++ and Python (nodes, drivers, autonomy behaviors).
• Implement and tune SLAM and map management (including loop-closure strategies).
• Create sensor fusion pipelines (camera, LiDAR, wheel odometry, IMU, GPS when available).
• Implement motion planning and control (trajectory generation/tracking for mobile robots and/or manipulators).
• Validate features using Gazebo/Isaac Sim, hardware‑in‑the‑loop, and automated tests.
• Analyze telemetry/field logs to improve robustness and reduce downtime/navigation errors.
• Maintain engineering standards with Git workflows, CI/CD, documentation, and reproducible Linux environments.
