Welding Engineer

Build the Path ForwardAt 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 applicationsPartner with robotics engineers to develop a set of rules for how to move the workpiece and robot end-effector to automate trajectory generationPerform robotic welding experiments to test other systems in development including sensors and inspection systems, path planning and welding strategies, and new hardwareWork with our hardware team to fabricate test coupons for application feasibility testing and other in-house experiments30%-50% travel required, in which you will be interfacing and working directly with customers.Operate a state-of the art AI-powered robotic welding cellManually weld coupons and other test parts when neededUse powered shop tools to cut and etch weld samplesWho You Are3+ years of experience developing robotic welding procedures in an industrial environmentProficient in industrial robotics including Yaskawa, ABB, Kuka, or Fanuc platformsBackground in fusion-based weld parameter development for carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.Proficient with manual welding processes including GMAW, FCAW, GTAW, and SMAWUnderstand weld symbology and print interpretationExperience with Design of Experiment (DoE) principlesPassionate about what you do and enjoy working in a collaborative environmentWhy You’ll Love Working HereDaily free lunch to keep you fueled and connected with the teamFlexible PTO so you can take the time you need, when you need itComprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage6 weeks fully paid parental leave, plus an additional 6–8 weeks for birthing parents (12–14 weeks total)401(k) retirement plan through EmpowerGenerous employee referral bonuses—help us grow our team!Who We AreAt Path Robotics we love coming to work to solve interesting and tough challenges but also because our ideas are welcomed and valued.
