Robotics Engineer (Salvador)

About the role

Rex.zone connects mid-senior robotics engineers with remote full-time opportunities building and deploying real-world robotics systems. You will design, implement, and validate autonomous and semi-autonomous robot software across perception, SLAM/localization, motion planning, controls, simulation, and field reliability.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain ROS2 nodes, services, and interfaces for robot autonomy
• Build perception pipelines using computer vision and sensor fusion (RGB-D, LiDAR, IMU)
• Implement localization and mapping (SLAM), calibration, and drift mitigation
• Design motion planning and control modules; tune controllers for stability and smoothness
• Create simulation-first validation in Gazebo/Isaac Sim with reproducible test scenarios
• Write automated tests, CI checks, and performance benchmarks for releases
• Analyze logs/telemetry to diagnose field issues and improve reliability, latency, and uptime
• Collaborate with hardware, QA, and product on safety requirements and deployment processes

Qualifications

• Mid-senior experience building production robotics systems
• Strong Python and C++ on Linux; debugging, profiling, and tooling
• Hands-on experience with ROS2 and distributed robot software
• Understanding of kinematics, control systems, and state estimation
• Experience with SLAM, motion planning, and navigation stacks
• Comfortable working remotely with clear documentation and async collaboration
