Remote Robotics Developer: Autonomy & Perception

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

Job summary

Rex.zone is seeking a Robotics Developer to design, build, and deploy robot software that connects perception, planning, and control into reliable real-world systems. You will work across simulation and hardware, implement ROS/ROS2 nodes, sensor drivers, and motion planning.

This remote, full-time role emphasizes autonomy, safety, and performance, requiring testing in Gazebo and on hardware, with contributions to robust release pipelines for distributed robotics systems.

Qualifications

• Mid-senior experience building production software in robotics or autonomous systems.
• Strong C++ and Python skills with modern software engineering practices.
• Hands-on experience with ROS/ROS2 concepts including nodes, topics, services, actions, TF, and lifecycle management.
• Practical knowledge of SLAM, localization, sensor fusion, and motion planning fundamentals.
• Experience working with robot sensors (camera, LiDAR, IMU) and debugging data pipelines.
• Familiarity with simulation tooling (e.g., Gazebo) and automated testing approaches.
• Ability to work remotely with strong communication, documentation, and cross-team collaboration.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement robotics software modules for autonomy and robot motion
• Build ROS2 packages, message interfaces, launch configurations, and parameterization for multi-robot deployments
• Develop perception pipelines for obstacle detection, tracking, and scene understanding using computer vision and point cloud processing
• Implement localization, SLAM, and sensor fusion workflows to improve pose accuracy and mapping reliability
• Develop motion planning and control loops, including trajectory generation, controllers, and safety constraints
• Integrate with embedded systems and hardware interfaces (CAN, serial, UDP/TCP where applicable)
• Create simulation scenarios and regression tests to verify robot behavior, edge cases, and failure recovery
• Optimize runtime performance, determinism, and reliability for real-time or near-real-time constraints
• Participate in code reviews, documentation, incident analysis, and continuous improvement of engineering practices
