Robotics Software Engineer

Robotics Software Engineer (Remote, Full-Time)

Rex.zone connects engineers with US-based remote robotics roles supporting real-world automation and AI/ML-enabled robotics workflows. You will build, integrate, and validate production-grade autonomy software across perception, localization, planning, and controls, with a strong focus on reliability through test automation, telemetry, and QA.

Key Responsibilities

• Own robotics software features across perception, planning, and controls
• Integrate sensors (LiDAR, cameras, IMU) and maintain calibration workflows
• Build and tune SLAM and localization pipelines for mobile robots
• Implement motion planning, trajectory generation, and collision checking
• Develop simulation scenarios and sim-to-real validation (Gazebo / Isaac-style)
• Design CI-backed test automation, regression suites, and hardware-in-the-loop validation
• Monitor deployments with logs, metrics, and telemetry to drive reliability improvements
• Document interfaces, safety constraints, and operational runbooks for distributed teams

Required Qualifications

• Mid-senior experience shipping robotics or autonomy software
• Strong C++ and Python for production systems
• Hands-on ROS2 knowledge (nodes, topics, services, TF, lifecycle)
• Understanding of kinematics, dynamics, and state estimation concepts
• Experience with SLAM/localization, sensor fusion, or perception pipelines
• Comfort working on Linux, Docker, CI/CD, and debugging distributed systems

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with MoveIt, Nav2, or custom planning stacks
• Computer vision familiarity (e.g., OpenCV) and edge inference exposure
• Background in industrial robotics, AMRs, or cobots
• Safety practices (FMEA, fault handling, redundancy) and field operations exposure
• Cloud robotics / fleet management / OTA update workflows

Remote Work Expectations

Optional travel may occur for hardware integration or on-site testing depending on project needs.

Compensation

Competitive hourly base rate: $30–$50 per hour (USD).

How To Apply

Apply through Rex.zone with a robotics-focused resume highlighting shipped systems, ROS2 packages, autonomy features, and test/validation work. Include links to GitHub, publications, or demos when available.
