Remote Robotics Engineer — Perception, SLAM & ROS

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

Job summary

Rex.zone is seeking a skilled robotics software engineer to design, implement, and validate software for production-grade robots and automation cells. The role emphasizes simulation-to-real deployment, safety, reliability, and performance across perception, planning, and control.

You will develop ROS/ROS2 packages, integrate sensors, tune controllers, build perception pipelines, create Gazebo simulations, and contribute to CI/CD through tests and hardware-in-the-loop testing.

Qualifications

• Mid-Senior experience delivering robotics or autonomous systems.
• Strong C++ and Python skills with Linux development workflows.
• Hands-on ROS or ROS2 experience in real projects.
• Understanding of kinematics, dynamics, control systems, and state estimation.
• Strong debugging skills across software and hardware interfaces.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain ROS/ROS2 packages, nodes, and launch configurations.
• Integrate sensors (LiDAR, cameras, IMU, encoders) including calibration and time synchronization.
• Implement/improve localization, mapping, and navigation (SLAM, sensor fusion, costmaps, path planning).
• Build perception features using computer vision and sensor fusion pipelines.
• Tune controllers (PID/MPC as applicable) for stability, accuracy, and safety.
• Create simulation scenarios (Gazebo/Isaac/other) and run regression tests to reduce sim-to-real gaps.
• Diagnose field issues using logs, rosbags, profiling, and root-cause analysis.
• Improve CI/CD with unit/integration tests and (when available) hardware-in-the-loop testing.
• Document architecture, interfaces, and operational playbooks.
