Mining Robotics Engineer (Peru) — Remote

About the role

Join Rex.zone to build and support robotic and autonomy features for mining operations connected to Peru-based programs. You will focus on perception, navigation, remote operations, telemetry readiness, and reliability engineering to improve safety, uptime, and productivity.

Responsibilities

• Own autonomy/robotics features from prototype through field rollout and operational readiness
• Integrate ROS2 nodes, vehicle interfaces, and perception pipelines (LiDAR/cameras/radar)
• Build evaluation harnesses for navigation, obstacle detection, and localization performance
• Define data capture plans, telemetry KPIs, and monitoring dashboards for field performance
• Conduct root-cause analysis on incidents, regressions, and reliability issues
• Coordinate computer vision annotation and sensor fusion ground-truth workflows; enforce data quality and guideline compliance
• Contribute to safety cases, hazard analysis, and safety systems engineering reviews
• Document procedures for remote operations, validation, and maintenance

Requirements

• Mid-senior experience in robotics, autonomy, or industrial automation
• Strong programming skills in Python and/or C++
• Hands-on experience with ROS2, SLAM/localization, perception, and sensor fusion
• Familiarity with calibration, time synchronization, and field data logging
• Ability to design experiments, interpret metrics, and communicate tradeoffs

Preferred Qualifications

• Mining equipment autonomy or off-road robotics experience (haul trucks, drills, loaders)
• Experience with continuous validation, drift detection, and telemetry monitoring
• Exposure to GNSS/INS integration and geospatial systems

Pay

Competitive hourly pay: $30–$50 per hour (USD), based on skills and experience.
