Remote Robotics Engineer — Perception, SLAM & Autonomy

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

Job summary

Rex.zone is looking for a Robotics Engineer to design, build, and deploy production‑grade autonomy across perception, localization, mapping, planning, and controls. You will work end‑to‑end from simulation to field testing, ensuring robust behavior under real‑world constraints (latency, sensor noise, changing environments).

Key responsibilities include building robotics software modules for perception/localization/controls, implementing ROS2 nodes, validating SLAM and sensor fusion, and

Qualifications

• Mid‑senior experience delivering robotics systems in production or advanced prototypes.
• Strong C++ and Python for robotics software development.
• Hands‑on experience with ROS2 tooling, debugging, and package management.
• Understanding of state estimation and multi‑sensor fusion (e.g., Kalman filtering concepts).
• Familiarity with SLAM, coordinate frames, transforms, motion planning, and control loops.
• Strong Linux development skills and experience with CI/testing for robotics codebases.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain robotics software modules for perception, localization, mapping, planning, and controls.
• Implement ROS2 nodes, message interfaces, and lifecycle management.
• Develop and validate SLAM and sensor fusion pipelines (IMU, LiDAR, camera, wheel odometry).
• Integrate path planning and trajectory optimization for mobile robots and manipulators.
• Create simulation and test harnesses (Gazebo, Isaac Sim) and support hardware‑in‑the‑loop validation.
• Establish calibration, logging, and observability practices for repeatable experiments.
• Optimize runtime performance, determinism, and safety constraints for deployment.
• Collaborate on requirements, design reviews, and incident retrospectives to improve reliability.
