Robotics Engineer: Perception, SLAM & Autonomy

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

Benefits offered by this job

Remote-work equipment support

Job summary

Rex.zone is seeking a mid-senior robotics software engineer to advance production-grade perception, localization (SLAM), planning, and control. You will build ROS/ROS2 modules, integrate sensors (camera, LiDAR, IMU), validate autonomy in Gazebo/Isaac Sim, and deploy to hardware with robust logging and safety checks.

Responsibilities include designing modules for perception, SLAM, planning, and control; sim-to-real validation; and CI/CD quality gates.

Qualifications

• Mid-Senior experience delivering robotics systems in production or advanced prototypes.
• Strong Python and C++ skills; hands-on ROS/ROS2 (topics, services, actions, tf2, lifecycle nodes)
• Understanding of kinematics, dynamics, and feedback control (e.g., PID/MPC)
• Knowledge of SLAM/localization concepts and practical debugging across HW/SW boundaries
• Experience with Linux, Git, Docker, and reproducible builds

Responsibilities

• Design and implement robotics software modules for perception, SLAM, planning, and control
• Integrate sensors and compute hardware; develop state estimation and sensor fusion pipelines
• Create simulation scenarios and perform sim-to-real validation
• Build automated tests, regression suites, and performance benchmarks; maintain CI/CD quality gates
• Optimize runtime performance on Linux/embedded compute; debug using logs and bag files
• Contribute to safety practices, failure analysis, and fleet/field issue support
• Document interfaces, calibration steps, and operational runbooks
