Title: Robotics Engineer Jobs Cali Date: 25-02-2026 Company: Rexzone Country: US Remote Type: Remote Employment Type: FULL_TIME Experience Level: Mid-Senior Industry: Technology Job Function: Engineering Skills: ROS2, C++, Python, SLAM, Sensor Fusion, Motion Planning, Control Systems, Computer Vision, Gazebo, Isaac Sim Salary Currency: USD Salary Min: 63360 Salary Max: 126720 Pay Period: YEAR
As a Robotics Engineer (Remote, US), you will design, implement, and validate robotics software components for autonomy and robot behavior. Typical work spans perception pipelines (camera, LiDAR, IMU), localization and mapping (SLAM), motion planning, control loops, and system integration in ROS/ROS2. You will collaborate with hardware, embedded, and product teams to ship reliable robotic features, improve field robustness, and maintain engineering quality through testing, simulation, and code review.
Develop and maintain ROS/ROS2 nodes, message interfaces, and real-time data pipelines; build perception and sensor fusion modules for robust state estimation; implement localization, mapping, and navigation behaviors using SLAM and planning algorithms; design control strategies for mobile bases or manipulators (PID, MPC, cascaded control); create simulation-first workflows using Gazebo or Isaac Sim for regression testing; optimize performance for CPU/GPU and embedded constraints; integrate with hardware drivers and calibrate sensors; define and run validation in simulation and on robot, including safety and fault handling; document system architecture and operational procedures for deployment.
Mid-senior experience shipping robotics software in production or advanced R&D; strong C++ and Python for robotics and real-time systems; practical ROS/ROS2 experience with debugging tools (rosbag, rviz) and distributed systems concepts; solid understanding of kinematics, dynamics, control systems, and state estimation; experience with SLAM, sensor fusion, and motion planning foundations; ability to design tests, troubleshoot field issues, and drive root-cause analysis.
Experience with LiDAR and camera calibration, time synchronization, and sensor drivers; familiarity with autonomy safety practices, fault detection, and operational design domains; experience with manipulation, grasp planning, or whole-body control; background in CUDA, OpenCV, or acceleration for perception workloads; experience deploying to embedded Linux, Docker, and CI for robotics; exposure to fleet telemetry, logging, and on-robot monitoring.
Typical toolchains include ROS/ROS2, C++17, Python, OpenCV, Eigen, PCL, Gazebo, Isaac Sim, Git, Docker, and CI pipelines. You will follow engineering practices such as interface design, unit and integration tests, simulation regression suites, and performance profiling to improve reliability, latency, and navigation success rates.
This is a FULL_TIME Remote role based in the US. Salary range is 63360 to 126720 USD per YEAR, depending on experience and role scope.
Apply through Rex.zone by submitting your resume and a brief summary of robotics systems you have shipped (navigation, perception, controls, simulation, or manipulation). Include links to publications, portfolios, demos, or code samples if available.
Yes. The roles on this page are explicitly marked Remote and are listed as FULL_TIME with US country metadata.
“Cali” targets the job search intent for California-related robotics opportunities while the roles remain Remote; teams may collaborate with California-based programs, labs, or business units while hiring remotely within the US.
Common domains include perception (computer vision, LiDAR processing), sensor fusion and state estimation, SLAM, motion planning, navigation, control systems, simulation testing, and ROS/ROS2 system integration.
Emphasize ROS2, C++, Python, SLAM, sensor fusion, motion planning, control systems, computer vision, and simulation experience (Gazebo or Isaac Sim), plus examples of debugging and shipping reliable robotic features.
