Job summary

Rex.zone is seeking a mid- to senior- level Robotics Engineer to design and deploy autonomy software across perception, planning, and control. The role is remote, full-time, and involves developing software in ROS/ROS2, validating with simulation, and collaborating with hardware and QA teams.

You will work on navigation, obstacle avoidance, SLAM, and sensor fusion using camera, LiDAR, IMU, and testing pipelines.

Qualifications

Experience delivering robotics features from prototype to deployment.
Strong C++ and Python skills with Linux development workflows.
Hands-on ROS/ROS2 experience (nodes, TF, messages, bagging, launch, parameters).
Foundations in kinematics, dynamics, and control (PID/MPC) and motion planning basics.
Experience with calibration, synchronization, debugging logs, profiling, and automated testing.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and maintain robotic software modules (perception, planning, control) using ROS/ROS2.
Develop autonomy behaviors such as navigation, obstacle avoidance, and manipulation primitives.
Build perception pipelines with camera/LiDAR/IMU and sensor fusion.
Implement SLAM/localization and mapping workflows.
Use Gazebo/Isaac Sim for regression testing, scenario coverage, and sim-to-real iteration.
Create tooling for logging, metrics, dataset replay, and performance debugging.
Collaborate with hardware, QA, and product teams to deliver reliable robot releases and field updates.
