About the Role

As a ROS Engineer in warehouse robotics, you will design and maintain ROS/ROS2 software for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) operating in fulfillment and distribution centers. Your work spans robotics middleware, sensor integration, perception, localization and mapping (SLAM), navigation, motion planning, and simulation. You will collaborate with hardware, operations, and safety stakeholders to ship reliable robot behaviors, improve uptime, and scale deployments across sites.

What You Will Do

You will build ROS2 nodes and packages, integrate sensors (LiDAR, cameras, IMU, wheel encoders), and tune localization and navigation for warehouse constraints like narrow aisles, dynamic obstacles, and reflective surfaces. You will develop and validate behaviors in simulation (Gazebo/Isaac Sim) and deploy to real robots, instrumenting telemetry, logs, and health checks. You will contribute to fleet management interfaces, coordinate with WMS/ERP integrations, and support production incidents with root-cause analysis and corrective actions.

Core Workflows and Systems

Typical workflows include mapping and localization pipelines, navigation stack tuning, costmap configuration, path planning validation, and motion controller tuning. You will work with TF frames, URDF/Xacro models, sensor fusion/filters, and real-time constraints. You will maintain reproducible builds and deployment pipelines using Linux, containers, and CI/CD, while ensuring robotics software meets safety and operational requirements.

Required Qualifications

Mid-Senior experience shipping robotics software in production environments, strong C++ and Python, and hands-on ROS/ROS2 development. Practical knowledge of SLAM, localization, navigation, and motion planning for mobile robots. Experience integrating perception sensors, debugging timing/TF issues, and operating robots in the real world (or supporting field deployments). Comfort with Linux tooling, Git, and automated testing.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with MoveIt or manipulation planning (if warehouse includes robotic arms), behavior trees or state machines, multi-robot coordination, and fleet orchestration. Familiarity with DDS tuning, real-time considerations, and robust logging/observability for robotic systems. Exposure to warehouse systems (WMS), mission planning, docking/charging behaviors, and safety standards for industrial environments.

Quality, Safety, and Reliability

You will implement guardrails for safe operation, improve failure detection and recovery behaviors, and reduce mission aborts. You will validate changes through simulation, staged rollouts, and on-robot testing. You will create clear runbooks and diagnostics to support remote operations teams and accelerate mean time to resolution.

Remote Collaboration

This is a Remote role with distributed collaboration across engineering, hardware, and operations. You will participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and incident reviews, and you will maintain documentation that enables repeatable deployments. When needed, you may support field teams asynchronously through logs, bag files, and telemetry dashboards.

How to Apply on Rex.zone

Apply through Rex.zone by submitting your resume and highlighting ROS/ROS2 projects, production deployments, and measurable outcomes (uptime improvements, navigation success rate, reduced localization drift, faster recovery). Include links to relevant repositories, technical write-ups, or simulation demos when available.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: What does a ROS Engineer do in warehouse robotics?

    A ROS Engineer builds and maintains ROS/ROS2 software that enables AMRs/AGVs to localize, map, plan paths, navigate around obstacles, and execute missions in warehouses. The role involves sensor integration, navigation tuning, simulation testing, and production support for deployed robots.

  • Q: Is this role Remote and Full-Time?

    Yes. The role is explicitly Remote and FULL_TIME, designed for distributed teams supporting production robotics deployments.

  • Q: Which ROS skills are most important for warehouse automation?

    Common high-impact skills include ROS2 architecture, TF/TF2, URDF/Xacro, Nav2 or navigation stack concepts, SLAM/localization, costmaps, controller tuning, sensor fusion, rosbag-based debugging, and simulation workflows (Gazebo/Isaac Sim).

  • Q: What types of robots are typical in warehouse robotics jobs?

    Most warehouse deployments use autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) or automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for picking, putaway, pallet transport, and inventory movement, sometimes paired with robotic arms for picking/packing.

  • Q: How do you evaluate success in a warehouse robotics ROS role?

    Success is measured by safe mission completion rate, navigation reliability, localization stability, reduced interventions, improved uptime, faster recovery from failures, and smooth integration with fleet management and warehouse systems.

  • Q: Do I need simulation experience?

    Simulation experience is strongly preferred because teams validate navigation, perception, and regression tests in Gazebo or Isaac Sim before deploying to physical robots, reducing risk and improving iteration speed.

  • Q: What industries hire for Warehouse Robotics Jobs?

    Employers include robotics vendors, tech startups, e-commerce fulfillment operations, 3PL logistics companies, and enterprise warehouses modernizing automation systems.

  • Q: How do I apply through Rex.zone?

    Use Rex.zone to apply and tailor your submission to warehouse robotics: highlight ROS/ROS2 packages you built, real robot deployment experience, navigation/localization tuning results, and examples of debugging complex sensor/TF timing issues.
