Job Summary

Build the Path Forward

At Path Robotics were 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.

Our Mechanical Engineers work on some of the most important things we need to change the future of manufacturing - electromechanical components and automation systems that enable safe part holding and quality welds. Our flexible backend system integrates robots sensors and other systems present in manufacturing and combines them with our cutting-edge algorithms. You will report to our Hardware Engineering Manager and will join a team of dedicated supportive and enthusiastic people to help create the future of manufacturing.

What Youll Do

Design welding fixtures tooling and robotic cell layouts for automated robotic welding systems.
Create build-to-print part and assembly drawings mechanical BOMs and layouts in SolidWorks applying GD&T as needed.
Perform structural validation using SolidWorks Simulation (FEA) to support design decisions.
Design and integrate pneumatic and low-voltage electrical subsystems within mechanical assemblies.
Build and validate designs at our manufacturing facility by hands-on prototyping.
Assist in manufacturing through machine shop work and assembly as needed
Support builds kitting and installations resolving mechanical issues as systems are deployed.
Implement engineering change requests (ECRs) driven by build and field feedback.
Partner with manufacturing and supply chain to reduce BOM cost improve availability and standardize parts.
Capture lessons learned and roll improvements into standards libraries and future designs.
