Robotics Engineer Uruguay

Rex.zone is hiring a mid-senior Robotics Engineer to build, integrate, and deploy reliable robotic systems across perception, localization/SLAM, planning, and control. You will develop ROS/ROS2 software, integrate sensors, and validate performance in simulation-first workflows with scheduled hardware integration/testing windows.

• Own robotics software components for perception, localization/mapping, planning, and control
• Integrate and calibrate sensors (LiDAR, cameras, IMU, encoders) and implement time sync/filtering/sensor fusion
• Develop and tune control loops (PID/MPC as applicable) for navigation/manipulation/actuation
• Implement and evaluate SLAM/localization (drift, loop closure, recovery behavior)
• Build simulation and test harnesses (Gazebo/Ignition or equivalent) to reproduce field issues
• Define performance metrics (latency, accuracy, reliability) and drive continuous improvement
• Support hardware bring-up, embedded interfaces, and field debugging procedures
• Document architecture, interfaces, and operational runbooks

• Mid-senior experience building robotics systems in production or advanced prototypes
• Strong C++ and Python on Linux
• Hands-on ROS/ROS2 experience (TF frames, nav stack concepts, launch systems, messages)
• Robot kinematics, coordinate frames, and motion planning fundamentals
• SLAM/localization and sensor fusion (e.g., EKF/UKF)
• Debugging distributed robotic systems (logs, bag files, profiling, latency analysis)
• Docker and CI-friendly workflows

• AMRs, industrial automation, or field robotics experience
• Computer vision pipelines and calibration
• Embedded systems and device drivers (CAN/UART, real-time constraints)
• Move It/OMPL and trajectory optimization exposure

$30-$50 per hour (USD, HOURLY).

Pay may vary based on skills depth (ROS2/SLAM/planning) and system scope.
