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: Robotics engineering, ROS2, ROS, C++, Python, SLAM, motion planning, sensor fusion, computer vision, controls, embedded systems | Salary Currency: USD | Salary Min: 63360 | Salary Max: 126720 | Pay Period: YEAR
You will design, implement, and maintain robotics software and system integrations for autonomous and semi-autonomous robots. Typical work includes developing ROS/ROS2 nodes, integrating perception stacks (camera/LiDAR/IMU), building navigation and manipulation behaviors, and validating performance in simulation (Gazebo/Ignition) and on hardware. You will collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and product teams to translate requirements into reliable robot capabilities, improve safety and robustness, and reduce field failures through disciplined testing and observability.

A Robotics Engineer builds software and system integrations that enable robots to perceive their environment, localize, plan motions, and execute control safely and reliably. Work commonly includes ROS/ROS2 development, sensor integration, SLAM/localization, motion planning, and simulation-based testing.
Yes. The roles on this page are marked Remote and FULL_TIME. Some teams may require overlap hours with distributed engineering groups and occasional coordination for hardware testing depending on the project.
Emphasize ROS/ROS2, C++ and Python, SLAM/localization, motion planning, sensor fusion, computer vision, controls, simulation (Gazebo/Ignition), Linux, and debugging with rosbag and visualization tools.
Common hiring domains include technology companies, robotics startups, AI labs, automation providers, and product teams building warehouse robots, inspection drones, service robots, or industrial automation systems.
Compensation is listed as a yearly range in USD with Salary Min 63360 and Salary Max 126720 and Pay Period YEAR. Final offers depend on interview performance and role scope.
ROS2 is often preferred for modern production systems due to improved communication and deployment patterns, but strong ROS fundamentals can transfer. If you have ROS experience, highlight your ability to migrate packages, work with Nav2, and handle real-time constraints.
