Robotics Engineer (Uruguay, Remote)

Robotics Engineer (Remote, Full-Time)Design, build, and validate robotics capabilities for real-world deployments. This role spans autonomy engineering (perception, localization, mapping, planning, control), simulation and test automation, production debugging, and reliability improvements. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to define measurable requirements (safety, latency, accuracy, uptime) and deliver iterative improvements. You will also support data-driven feedback loops that improve model performance through dataset curation, labeling coordination, QA evaluation, and regression testing.Key ResponsibilitiesBuild and maintain robotics software components using ROS2, C++, and PythonImplement perception pipelines using computer vision, sensor fusion, and state estimationDevelop SLAM and localization modules with robust failure handling and recovery behaviorsImplement motion planning and control loops with constraints, obstacle avoidance, and trajectory trackingCreate simulation scenarios and simulation-to-real validation strategies to reduce on-robot riskDesign telemetry, logging, and debugging workflows for field incidents and performance regressionsEstablish test coverage with unit, integration, and hardware-in-the-loop testingPartner with data operations to improve training data quality, annotation guidelines compliance, and QA evaluationDocument designs, runbooks, and incident postmortems to improve reliability over timeRequired QualificationsMid-Senior experience shipping robotics or autonomous systems in productionStrong C++ and Python engineering skills with code review and CI/CD habitsHands-on experience with ROS2, message design, and real-time constraintsPractical knowledge of motion planning and control systemsExperience with SLAM, sensor fusion, or state estimation (e.g., EKF/UKF)Ability to define metrics, design experiments, and drive model performance improvementsClear communication and collaboration in remote teamsPay$30–$50/hr (base salary, hourly)
