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.

Were seeking a Robotics Software Engineer who thrives on hard systems problems. Welding is where we started but the mission is broader: robots that sense plan and act to take on skilled manual work. Youll write modern C across the full robotics stack perception and scanning motion and task planning real-time execution and closed-loop control and see your code run on live robotic cells doing real work. Youll also help us advance our planning and control by combining classical techniques with modern learning-based methods making our robots faster smarter and more capable. If youre ready to take on the hardest problems with the best team on the planet bring your expertise and enthusiasm.

What Youll Do

  • Build motion and trajectory planning for a variety of task goals from patterned and adaptive sensor-driven motions to resource-aware sequencing that coordinates multiple robots working the same part.
  • Develop kinematics reachability and motion planning inverse kinematics and trajectory planning for robotic manipulators and validate plans so motion is collision-free and executable.
  • Build the real-time control and feedback loops that keep the robot on target as it works trajectory correction feature tracking and camera-based visual servoing.
  • Extend our robots beyond fixed workcells to mobile platforms localization mapping and navigation so a moving robot can find its work and hold position while it acts.
  • Own the driver layer that connects to robot hardware streaming motion commands to the robot controller in real time and abstracting sensors scanners and cameras behind clean reliable interfaces.
  • Advance the stack with learning-based methods and simulation reinforcement learning learned planners and sim-to-real training alongside classical approaches.

Who You Are

  • A Bachelors in Computer Science Robotics Electrical Engineering or Mathematics or equivalent experience.
  • 24 years building robotics software in modern C (Python a strong plus).
  • Hands-on experience with real-time robotics motion control or controls software youve built software that drives physical hardware.
  • Comfortable with multithreading concurrency and debugging systems-level behavior.
  • Fluent developing and operating software on Linux with Git.
  • Familiar with solid engineering practice some mix of TDD unit testing and CI/CD.
  • Bonus points for experience with learning-based methods or robot simulation (RL imitation learning sim-to-real) SLAM and navigation or ROS.

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!
