Job summary

Path Robotics, based in Columbus, OH, is seeking a Welding Engineer to join our autonomous robotic welding team. You will help develop an AI-powered welding system that generates motion plans and weld parameters for each part, and perform experiments to advance our technology.

You’ll collaborate with robotics and hardware teams, run parameter experiments, validate welding strategies, and travel 30–50% to work with customers.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience developing robotic welding procedures in an industrial environment.
• Experience with DoE principles and welding parameter development.
• Background in fusion-based weld parameter development for carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
• Proficient with manual welding processes including GMAW, FCAW, GTAW, and SMAW.
• Understand weld symbology and print interpretation.

Responsibilities

• Run weld parameter selection experiments to identify a range of welding parameters for new customer applications.
• Partner with robotics engineers to develop rules for motion of workpiece and robot end-effector to automate trajectory generation.
• Perform robotic welding experiments to test systems including sensors, inspection, and welding strategies.
• Work with hardware team to fabricate test coupons for feasibility testing and experiments.
• Travel 30%-50% to interface with customers.
• Operate a state-of-the-art AI-powered robotic welding cell.
• Manually weld coupons and test parts when needed.
• Use powered shop tools to cut and etch weld samples.
