Job description

Open Role: Robotics Software Engineer (Remote, Full-Time)

Rex.zone connects candidates with Robotics Software Engineer opportunities focused on real-world autonomous systems. You will design, implement, and maintain robotics software components that run reliably in simulation and on hardware, spanning perception, state estimation, SLAM, planning, and controls.

What You Will Do

Build and maintain ROS/ROS2 nodes for perception, localization, mapping, planning, and control.
Implement sensor drivers and time-synchronization pipelines for camera, LiDAR, radar, and IMU inputs.
Develop and tune SLAM and state estimation (EKF/UKF) with sensor fusion and covariance handling.
Improve motion planning (sampling-based and optimization-based) and trajectory tracking for dynamic environments.
Create reproducible simulation scenarios in Gazebo/Ignition and help close the sim-to-real gap.
Instrument, profile, and optimize latency, memory, and throughput for real-time constraints.
Ship maintainable code with unit/integration tests, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and CI/CD pipelines.
Document interfaces, calibration assumptions, and operational runbooks for deployment and QA.

Required Qualifications

Mid-Senior experience building production robotics software in C++ and/or Python.
Strong ROS/ROS2 development skills (messages, tf2, lifecycle nodes, launch, bagging).
Hands-on understanding of kinematics, coordinate frames, transforms, and calibration workflows.
Experience with at least one autonomy area: perception, SLAM, motion planning, or controls.
Comfort working with Linux, Git, Docker, and automated testing practices.

Workplace

This role is categorized as Remote

. Some projects may require occasional on-site robot testing depending on the team and scope.

Compensation

Hourly pay range: $30–$50/hr (USD)
