Senior Mechanical Engineer, Sensing & Mobile Welding Robotics
Columbus, NE - USA
Job Summary
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. Were building the future of manufacturing and were looking for engineers who want to get their hands dirty doing it.
Were looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer with a passion for building hardware that works in the real world. Youll be embedded in our sensing and mobile welding platform team designing the mechanical systems that put our robots in motion and keep them welding accurately in dynamic unstructured environments. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives on rapid iteration owns their designs end to end and cares deeply about how something gets made not just how it looks in CAD.
- Design and develop mechanical assemblies for mobile robotic welding platforms including sensor integration structural components and systems motion systems and tooling interfaces
- Own designs from concept through fabrication assembly and field validation iterating based on test results and real-world feedback
- Collaborate closely within a cross-functional team including mechanical electrical software and systems engineers to integrate sensing hardware (cameras LiDAR proximity sensors etc.) into compact robust mechanical packages
- Apply sound design-for-manufacturing (DFM) principles across multiple fabrication methods machined components sheet metal enclosures and additive/3D-printed parts
- Create and maintain detailed CAD models assemblies drawings and BOMs in SolidWorks managed through PDM
- Participate in design reviews and contribute to engineering decisions with well-reasoned tradeoffs between performance cost and manufacturability
- Work directly with fabrication vendors and internal shop resources to turn drawings into parts fast
- Support root cause analysis and design improvements driven by field findings and reliability data
- 6 years of mechanical engineering experience in a product development or hardware engineering environment
- Proficiency in SolidWorks for multi-body and multi-component assemblies with hands-on use of PDM for version control and release workflows
- Solid command of engineering drawing standards and the ability to produce clear manufacturable drawings; working familiarity with GD&T
- Demonstrated experience designing for multiple manufacturing methods machining sheet metal and additive manufacturing
- Ability to read and reason about mechanical interfaces in the context of broader electromechanical 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
