About Path robotics

Path Robotics is redefining whats possible in autonomous welding. Our AI-powered robotic welding systems use advanced sensing and computer vision to adapt in real time no fixtures no programming no limits. Were building the future of manufacturing and were looking for engineers who want to get their hands dirty doing it.

The Role

Were looking for a Software Engineer to build and maintain the infrastructure that powers our AI and machine learning workflows. Youll be the bridge between our AI research team and production building the tooling pipelines and deployment systems that let models go from experiment to factory floor. This is a role for someone who thinks in systems but speaks ML: you understand what researchers need and you know how to build reliable software around it.

What Youll Do

• Build and maintain the software infrastructure that supports robot learning including model training experiment tracking versioning and deployment.
  
  
• Develop pipelines and tools for collecting processing and curating large-scale robotic sensor and telemetry data.
  
  
• Support deployment of AI models onto robotic systems including simulation hardware integration runtime monitoring and feedback loops from field data.
  
  
• Build internal tools that accelerate AI engineering workflows across dataset exploration testing evaluation and productionisation.
  
  
• Partner closely with AI researchers and robotics engineers to turn model requirements into robust scalable software systems.

Who You Are

• You have 36 years of software engineering experience with solid exposure to ML infrastructure MLOps or AI-enabled systems.
  
  
• You write strong production software in Python and ideally also have experience with C ROS or robotics software stacks.
  
  
• You have experience with PyTorch and a practical understanding of the software systems needed to support AI model development.
  
  
• You are comfortable with data pipelines simulation environments containerised workflows and GPU compute in Linux environments.
  
  
• You enjoy working across AI and robotics and can support the full path from data collection and testing through to deployment on real systems.

Why Youll Love Working Here

• Competitive salary and equity in a well-funded high-growth robotics company
• Comprehensive health dental and vision benefits
• 401(k)
• Flexible PTO
• Hands-on collaborative culture

Who We Are

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.

Were looking for a Software Engineer with deep experience in C and Python to lead the development of core systems powering our intelligent robotic this role youll architect and implement high-performance software at the intersection of real-time robotics perception and machine learning. Youll take technical ownership of critical components mentor team members and help shape the future of our robotics software stack.

What Youll Do

• Drive software architecture decisions across robotics and perception systems.
• Design implement and optimize performance-critical components of the robotics and perception stack in C and Python.
• Develop and integrate 3D point cloud processing algorithms for weld joint perception including registration pose estimation segmentation and geometric reasoning.
• Lead the integration of machine learning models into real-time systems ensuring low-latency high-reliability performance.
• Design and implement gRPC/Protobuf service interfaces with attention to schema versioning and backward-compatible API evolution.
• Instrument perception systems for production observability building telemetry pipelines that connect algorithmic metrics to business outcomes.

Who You Are

• Bachelors Masters or PhD in Computer Science Robotics Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 5 years of professional experience in software engineering; title and compensation will be commensurate with experience.
• Solid grasp of system-level software design concurrency memory management and optimization.
• Advanced proficiency in modern C and Python with demonstrated experience building production services using gRPC and Protobuf.
• Experience with robotics or perception applications including familiarity with ROS/ROS2 motion planning and hardware interfaces is preferred.
• Proficient in Linux-based development; experience with Docker strongly preferred

Why Youll Love Working Here

• Daily free lunch to keep you fueled and connected with the team
• Flexible PTO so you can take the time you need when you need it
• Comprehensive medical dental and vision coverage
• 6 weeks fully paid parental leave plus an additional 68 weeks for birthing parents (1214 weeks total)
• 401(k) retirement plan through Empower
• Generous employee referral bonuseshelp us grow our team!
