Rex.zone connects candidates with robotics engineering teams building autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), drones, warehouse automation, inspection robotics, and manipulation systems. Workstreams commonly include ROS/ROS2 middleware, navigation stacks, mapping, localization, perception pipelines, planning and controls interfaces, simulation environments, and production deployment practices such as CI/CD, code review, observability, and on-robot debugging.
Design and implement ROS2-based robot software components (nodes, services, actions, topics) with clean interfaces and reliable lifecycle management. Build and tune autonomy features such as localization, SLAM, path planning, obstacle avoidance, and behavior coordination. Integrate sensors (camera, LiDAR, radar, IMU, GPS) and implement sensor fusion pipelines for robust state estimation. Improve robot runtime performance using profiling, concurrency patterns, and resource-aware scheduling on Linux. Maintain simulation-to-real workflows in tools like Gazebo and improve test coverage with unit, integration, and hardware-in-the-loop testing. Partner with embedded and hardware teams to validate drivers, timing, calibration, and safety constraints. Own deployment processes including configuration management, versioning, and rollback strategies for fleet updates.
Typical stacks include ROS2/ROS, C++ and Python, Linux, DDS communication, and modern build tooling. Autonomy areas may include SLAM, localization, planning (global and local), kinematics, and control. Teams often rely on simulation (Gazebo or equivalent), structured logging and telemetry, and CI pipelines for repeatable releases.
This position is best for mid-senior engineers who can ship production robotics software, reason about real-time constraints, and debug across software and hardware boundaries. You should be comfortable with system integration, writing maintainable code, and turning field data into actionable improvements to stability, safety, and autonomy performance.
Success is measured by autonomy reliability in real environments, improved navigation and manipulation performance, reduced failure rates, and safer operation. Additional signals include faster incident resolution through good observability, higher test coverage and regression prevention, and smoother releases across robot fleets.
Remote: This role remains Remote and supports distributed collaboration across US time zones. You may occasionally coordinate with on-site teams for field logs, hardware access windows, and validation cycles depending on the robotics platform.

A Robotics Software Engineer builds and maintains the robot software stack (often ROS2), integrates sensors and actuators, improves autonomy modules like perception, SLAM, planning, and controls interfaces, and ships reliable releases with testing and observability. Remote work typically emphasizes strong logs, simulation, CI, and structured debugging workflows.
Common skills include ROS2, C++, Python, Linux, perception and sensor fusion, SLAM/localization, motion planning, control systems integration, simulation (e.g., Gazebo), and software engineering practices such as testing, code review, and performance profiling.
Yes. This posting is marked Remote and should remain Remote. Some teams may coordinate limited validation windows with hardware owners, but the primary work arrangement is Remote.
Teams commonly come from Technology organizations such as AI labs, tech startups, and robotics product companies building AMRs, drones, logistics automation, inspection systems, and manipulation platforms.
You can find Remote, Contract, Freelance, Full-Time, Entry-Level, and Senior roles. This specific posting is FULL_TIME and Mid-Senior.
Show shipped robotics features, ROS2 architecture decisions, sensor integration experience, and evidence of reliability improvements (reduced crash rates, better localization accuracy, faster recovery). Include links to demos, logs/metrics outcomes, and clear descriptions of how you tested and deployed to real robots.
