Mining Robotics Chile

Rex.zone is hiring for a remote, full-time Mining Robotics engineering role focused on designing, deploying, and maintaining autonomous and teleoperated robotic systems used in modern mine operations. You will support production-grade autonomy stacks across perception, SLAM, motion planning, controls, safety monitoring, and operational integration.

• Build and maintain robotics software modules for mining autonomy using ROS/ROS2 patterns, message interfaces, and node lifecycle best practices
• Develop perception and sensor fusion pipelines for harsh mine conditions (dust, vibration, low light), including calibration and synchronization
• Implement and tune SLAM, localization, and navigation components for off-road environments with sparse features
• Design motion planning and control strategies for autonomous or supervised operation, including failsafes and degraded-mode behavior
• Create simulation scenarios and test harnesses to validate autonomy behavior before field rollout
• Integrate robotic systems with telemetry, fleet management, and safety monitoring signals to support operational readiness
• Support field commissioning, log analysis, incident triage, and reliability improvements using structured root-cause analysis
• Write clear engineering documentation, interface contracts, and test plans to enable cross-team delivery

• Mid-Senior experience delivering robotics or autonomy software in production or field-tested environments
• Strong robotics fundamentals: coordinate frames, kinematics, estimation, control, and navigation
• Hands-on experience with ROS/ROS2, Linux, and distributed robotics system debugging
• Experience with camera/LiDAR perception stacks, computer vision, or point cloud processing
• Practical knowledge of SLAM/localization approaches (e.g., EKF-based fusion, graph optimization concepts)
• Comfort working with logs, bag files, replay pipelines, metrics dashboards, and reproducible experiments
• Ability to collaborate remotely across time zones with actionable design docs and implementation plans
