Robotics Engineer Jobs in Rio de Janeiro (Remote)

Title: Robotics Engineer Jobs in Rio de Janeiro (Remote) 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, Docker Salary Currency: USD Salary Min: 63360 Salary Max: 126720 Pay Period: YEAR You will build and maintain robotics software that connects perception, localization, planning, and control into dependable autonomy capabilities. The work spans ROS2 integration, real-time communication, robot state estimation, navigation stacks, and simulation-based testing to increase deployment confidence. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to define interfaces, tune performance, and improve reliability in robotics pipelines. Key responsibilities include developing ROS2 nodes and services, integrating LiDAR/IMU/camera drivers, implementing SLAM and sensor fusion approaches, and supporting motion planning with safe control loops. You will design testing and validation workflows using simulation (Gazebo) and CI, add telemetry/diagnostics, and help enforce safety and operational best practices. You will also write clean, maintainable code, contribute to code reviews, and document architecture decisions for long-term ownership. This role fits engineers who have shipped robotics systems, understand real-world constraints (latency, noise, calibration, edge failures), and can balance algorithmic work with production engineering. You should be comfortable debugging distributed systems, analyzing logs/telemetry, and iterating quickly with hardware-in-the-loop or simulated environments. Employment modifiers you may encounter on Rex.zone for similar roles include remote, full-time, contract, freelance, entry-level, and senior robotics engineer openings across autonomy, computer vision, and AI/ML robotics teams.

What You Will Do

Design and implement robotics software components for perception, localization, mapping, planning, and control. Integrate sensors (LiDAR, cameras, IMU, GPS) and build robust sensor fusion pipelines. Develop SLAM and state estimation workflows; tune accuracy and runtime performance. Build motion planning and navigation behaviors; ensure stable control under real-world constraints. Create simulation-to-real validation using Gazebo and automated tests to reduce deployment risk. Add observability via logging, diagnostics, telemetry, and failure-mode analysis. Collaborate with product and engineering teams to define APIs, message schemas, and integration standards. Maintain engineering quality through code reviews, documentation, and CI/CD practices.

Required Qualifications

Mid-senior experience building production robotics systems or autonomy software. Strong C++ and Python skills with practical debugging and performance optimization. Hands-on ROS2 experience (nodes, topics, services, TF, launch, build tooling). Understanding of SLAM, sensor fusion, and probabilistic state estimation basics. Experience with motion planning, control systems, and trajectory tracking fundamentals. Comfort with simulation, testing, and containerized development (Gazebo, Docker). Strong communication skills for remote collaboration and cross-team coordination.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with real-time systems and latency-sensitive robotics pipelines. Computer vision experience (calibration, feature tracking, visual odometry, deep perception). Deployment experience on edge hardware (x86/ARM, GPU acceleration, embedded constraints). Familiarity with autonomy stacks and navigation frameworks. Experience with safety practices, operational monitoring, and field debugging. Background working in AI labs, robotics startups, or engineering teams deploying robots at scale.
