Remote Robotics Engineer - ROS2, Perception & SLAM

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

Job summary

Rex.zone is seeking a remote Robotics Engineer to build and validate production-grade software for real-world automation. You will own components end-to-end—from architecture to simulation and field validation—emphasizing safety, reliability, and measurable performance.

Responsibilities include delivering perception/localization/planning components, integrating sensors, and validating SLAM and sensor fusion in real environments, with collaboration across mechanical/electrical teams.

Qualifications

• Mid-senior experience building robotics systems in production or advanced R&D.
• Strong C++ and Python skills for real-time robotics applications.
• Hands-on ROS2/ROS experience (topics, services, actions, TF, launch).
• Experience with SLAM, localization, sensor fusion, and coordinate frames.
• Motion planning and control fundamentals (e.g., PID/MPC, trajectory generation).
• Linux, Git workflows, and containerization (Docker).
• Ability to design test plans, metrics, and regression tests for robustness and safety.

Responsibilities

• Deliver production robotics software components for perception, localization, planning, and control.
• Build ROS2/ROS nodes and integrate sensors (LiDAR, cameras, IMU), drivers, and middleware.
• Implement and tune SLAM and sensor fusion; validate accuracy and reduce drift in real environments.
• Develop motion planning and robot control loops for stability, safety, and performance.
• Create simulation scenarios (Gazebo/Isaac Sim) and regression tests/metrics to track autonomy performance.
• Analyze logs/telemetry (including rosbag) for debugging, profiling, and root-cause analysis.
• Support perception dataset QA/labeling workflows when needed (bounding boxes, segmentation, keypoints).
• Collaborate with mechanical/electrical teams on bring-up, calibration, timing, and compute constraints.
• Document system design, interfaces, operating procedures, and deployment runbooks.
