Remote Robotics Engineer – Autonomy, SLAM & Controls

Rex.zone; United States; On-site; USD 41,328 - 68,880; Full time

Job summary

Rex.zone in the United States is seeking a Robotics Engineer to design, implement, and maintain production-grade robotics software spanning perception, localization and mapping, planning, and controls to improve autonomy, safety, and uptime in real-world environments.

This fully remote, full-time role requires strong C++ and Python, hands-on ROS/ROS2 experience, and the ability to work across distributed teams to ship robust robotics solutions.

Qualifications

• Production-grade robotics software experience required.
• Strong C++ and Python in real-time robotics development.
• Hands-on ROS/ROS2 debugging and distributed systems.
• Foundations in kinematics, dynamics, and controls.
• Experience with SLAM, motion planning, and simulation workflows.

Responsibilities

• Develop and ship robotics features from design through deployment, including autonomy logic, tooling, and observability.
• Build and maintain ROS/ROS2 packages, interfaces, and launch configurations for multi-sensor stacks.
• Implement and tune SLAM, localization, and navigation pipelines using sensor fusion and state estimation.
• Design motion planning and control loops (e.g., PID/MPC) for stable and safe robot movement.
• Integrate hardware drivers and embedded interfaces for cameras, encoders, IMUs, and motor controllers.
• Create simulation and test harnesses (SIL/HIL) to validate fixes and reduce regressions.
• Define benchmarks and regression tests for accuracy, latency, and safety constraints.
• Collaborate remotely with QA, operations, and field teams to diagnose incidents and improve reliability.
