Welding Engineer, Robotics & Automation

Build the Path Forward

At Path Robotics, we’re building the future of embodied intelligence. Our AI-driven systems enable robots to adapt, learn, and perform in the real world closing the skilled labor gap and transforming industries. We go beyond traditional methods, combining perception, reasoning, and control to deliver field-ready AI that is risk-aware, reliable, and continuously improving through real-world use.

Big, hard problems are our everyday work, and our team of intelligent, humble, and driven people make the impossible possible together.

We are looking for a Welding Engineer who will work side-by-side with a team of welding engineers to develop an autonomous robotic welding system capable of automatically generating custom motion plans and weld parameters for any part that it sees. You will also support teams with welding experiments, generating the data that propels our technology forward. You will join a team of dedicated, supportive, and enthusiastic people to help create the future of manufacturing.

What You’ll Do

• Run weld parameter selection experiments to identify a range of welding parameters (voltage, wire speed, travel speed) that can be used for new customer applications

• Partner with robotics engineers to develop a set of rules for how to move the workpiece and robot end-effector to automate trajectory generation

• Perform robotic welding experiments to test other systems in development including sensors and inspection systems, path planning and welding strategies, and new hardware

• Work with our hardware team to fabricate test coupons for application feasibility testing and other in-house experiments

• 30%-50% travel required, in which you will be interfacing and working directly with customers.

• Operate a state-of the art AI-powered robotic welding cell

• Manually weld coupons and other test parts when needed

• Use powered shop tools to cut and etch weld samples

Who You Are

• 3+ years of experience developing robotic welding procedures in an industrial environment

• Proficient in industrial robotics including Yaskawa, ABB, Kuka, or Fanuc platforms

• Background in fusion-based weld parameter development for carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

• Proficient with manual welding processes including GMAW, FCAW, GTAW, and SMAW

• Understand weld symbology and print interpretation

• Experience with Design of Experiment (DoE) principles

• Passionate about what you do and enjoy working in a collaborative environment
