Robotics Engineer (Montevideo)

Robotics Engineer (Montevideo) — Remote (US) Join Rex.zone to design, implement, and validate robot capabilities for autonomous systems in a remote, full-time role. You will improve navigation and manipulation performance through simulation, on-robot testing, and data-driven iteration, and may contribute to AI/ML training and evaluation workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain ROS2 nodes, services, and message pipelines for robotic behaviors
• Implement localization and mapping using SLAM and sensor fusion
• Develop motion planning and control modules; tune controllers (PID/MPC concepts) for stability
• Integrate cameras, LiDAR, IMU, and wheel odometry with calibration and timestamping
• Create simulation-based test plans (e.g., Gazebo) and automate regression testing
• Define QA metrics (success rate, collision rate, drift, latency) and drive performance improvement
• Diagnose field issues using logs/telemetry; reproduce failures and ship fixes with documentation
• Support safety validation, edge-case testing, and reliability engineering

Required Qualifications

• Mid-Senior experience shipping robotics software/autonomy features
• Strong Python and C++ skills
• Hands-on ROS/ROS2 experience (launch, TF, nav stacks, bagging, diagnostics)
• Understanding of kinematics, control fundamentals, and motion planning
• Experience with computer vision/perception and sensor fusion
• Strong testing discipline (simulation + unit/integration tests + QA evaluation)

Tools & Workflows ROS2, Python, C++, Linux, Git-based CI/CD, Gazebo simulation, logging/telemetry, test automation, and structured QA evaluation.

Pay range: $30–$50 per hour.
