Remote Robotics Software Engineer — Perception & SLAM

Rex.zone; United States; On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Benefits offered by this job

Remote work

Asynchronous collaboration

Job summary

Rex.zone is seeking a mid-senior Robotics Software Engineer for a fully remote role in the United States. You will design perception, localization, mapping, and motion planning modules using ROS/ROS 2, build robust control loops, and integrate diverse sensors for state estimation.

You will drive sim-to-real validation, develop QA-focused workflows, and collaborate across teams to enhance perception performance and reliability in production or advanced prototypes.

Qualifications

• Measurable reliability of robotics software shipped to production or advanced prototypes.
• Strong C++ and Python with clean architecture, profiling, and debugging practices.
• Hands-on ROS/ROS 2 experience (nodes, TF frames, message timing, real-time constraints).
• Solid fundamentals in SLAM, motion planning, and control systems.
• Computer vision and sensor fusion experience (calibration, depth, detection or tracking).
• Comfortable owning test plans, QA evaluation, and release readiness.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement robot software modules for perception, localization, mapping, and motion planning using ROS/ROS 2.
• Build production-ready control loops and trajectory tracking, including tuning and stability analysis.
• Integrate sensors (camera, LiDAR, IMU, wheel odometry) and implement sensor fusion pipelines for robust state estimation.
• Develop simulation-first workflows (Gazebo/Ignition, Isaac Sim, Webots, or similar) and drive sim-to-real validation.
• Create automated QA evaluation for robotics behaviors: regression tests, scenario playback, and safety assertions.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to improve robotics perception performance loops (data collection, labeling specs, error analysis).
