Robotics Software Engineer Jobs Medellín

Title: Robotics Software Engineer Jobs Medellín 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, Motion Planning, Control Systems, Sensor Fusion, Computer Vision, Gazebo, Docker Salary Currency: USD Salary Min: 63360 Salary Max: 126720 Pay Period: YEAR

About the Role

You will design, implement, and maintain robotics software components for autonomous behavior, including ROS/ROS2 nodes, message interfaces, and runtime orchestration. Day-to-day work spans perception (camera/LiDAR/IMU), localization and SLAM, sensor fusion, motion planning, and feedback control, with rigorous testing in simulation and hardware-in-the-loop. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements, debug issues on robots, and ship reliable releases through CI/CD and reproducible build systems.

Key Responsibilities

["Develop robotics software using C++/Python with ROS/ROS2, ensuring stable node lifecycles, QoS settings, and message definitions","Implement and tune perception and state estimation pipelines (e.g., calibration, filtering, sensor fusion, SLAM/localization)","Build motion planning and control modules, integrating kinematics, constraints, and trajectory tracking","Create simulation-first workflows using Gazebo/Ignition or comparable simulators; validate with HIL and on-robot testing","Harden systems for production: logging/telemetry, fault handling, watchdogs, and safe-state behaviors","Write unit/integration tests, code reviews, and documentation aligned with engineering standards","Collaborate with product and hardware teams on interfaces (drivers, firmware touchpoints, timing constraints) and performance budgets"]

Required Qualifications

["Mid-Senior experience delivering robotics or autonomy software in production or advanced prototypes","Strong C++ and Python skills with modern tooling, debugging, and performance profiling","Hands-on ROS/ROS2 experience (pub/sub, TF, launch, rosbag, diagnostics)","Knowledge of robotics fundamentals: kinematics, control, probability, and estimation","Experience with simulation, CI/CD, and containerized deployments (Docker)","Ability to communicate clearly in a distributed remote team and drive tasks end-to-end"]

Preferred Qualifications

["Experience with SLAM stacks, navigation frameworks, or mapping toolchains","Computer vision and perception experience (OpenCV, feature tracking, depth, object detection)","Familiarity with real-time systems and latency-sensitive pipelines","Experience with embedded/edge deployment, GPU acceleration, or on-device optimization","Exposure to safety-critical robotics practices (FMEA, redundancy, safety monitors)"]

Tools and Tech Stack

["ROS2/ROS, rclcpp/rclpy, TF2, rosbag","C++, Python, CMake, colcon","Gazebo/Ignition (or equivalent simulation)","Git, CI/CD pipelines, unit/integration testing","Docker, Linux, networking basics for distributed robotic systems"]
