Remote Mining Robotics Engineer – Autonomy & Perception

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

Job summary

Rex.zone is hiring for a remote, full-time role focused on building and testing autonomy features for mining robots. You will work with ROS/ROS2 pipelines to advance perception, navigation, and safety.

Expect collaboration across remote teams, dataset curation, and QA workflows to ensure robust model performance. You will contribute to labeling taxonomy design, evaluation harnesses, and data-driven improvements across simulation and field logs, with a strong emphasis on QA and safety engineering

Qualifications

• Mid-Senior experience in robotics, autonomy, or applied ML.
• Hands-on knowledge of ROS/ROS2 and C++ and/or Python.
• Experience with SLAM, perception, computer vision, and/or sensor fusion.
• Familiarity with data labeling workflows, QA evaluation, and taxonomy design.
• Understanding of safety engineering concepts for industrial robotics.
• Strong communication skills for cross-functional remote collaboration.

Responsibilities

• Develop and test autonomy features for mining robots (haulage, inspection, mapping) using ROS/ROS2 pipelines.
• Build evaluation harnesses for perception and planning, including scenario-based testing and regression tracking.
• Define labeling taxonomies and enforce annotation guidelines compliance for computer vision and sensor datasets.
• Run QA evaluation on labeled data, monitor inter-annotator agreement, and implement sampling plans.
• Track and document metrics (precision/recall, collision-risk proxies, localization drift, dataset shift).
• Support RLHF-style human feedback and prompt evaluation for LLM assistants used in procedures and incident triage.
• Partner with vendors and internal teams to scale data labeling and validation throughput.
