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

Job summary

Rex.zone is seeking a senior robotics software engineer to design, implement, and test production-grade autonomous systems. You will own modules end-to-end, from perception to manipulation, across simulation and real hardware.

The role emphasizes ROS/ROS2, SLAM, and sensor fusion, with a heavy focus on real-time robotics workloads, cross-functional collaboration, and remote-work collaboration in a global team.

Qualifications

• Mid-to-senior experience shipping robotics software.
• Hands-on ROS/ROS2 experience in real-time workloads.
• Practical knowledge of SLAM, state estimation, and sensor fusion.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and test robot software modules for perception, localization, navigation, and manipulation.
• Build ROS/ROS2 nodes, services, launch files, and message interfaces.
• Develop SLAM and sensor fusion pipelines using LiDAR, IMU, cameras, and wheel odometry.
• Implement motion planning and trajectory tracking for mobile robots and robotic arms.
• Tune control loops and state estimation for stability and safety.
• Create simulation-first test plans using Gazebo/Isaac and hardware-in-the-loop when available.
• Write unit/integration tests, CI checks, and performance benchmarks.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to translate requirements into validated robot behaviors.
• Document architecture decisions, interfaces, and deployment procedures.
