Job summary

Path Robotics, based in the United States, is seeking a Welding Engineer to develop an autonomous robotic welding system that can automatically generate custom motion plans and weld parameters for any part it sees. You will support welding experiments and generate data to propel the technology forward.

You will join a dedicated team to help create the future of manufacturing, collaborate with robotics and hardware teams, and operate cutting-edge equipment in a growth-focused environment.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of robotic welding procedure development in an industrial environment.
• Proficient with industrial robotics including Yaskawa, ABB, Kuka, or Fanuc.
• 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.
• Experience with Design of Experiment (DoE) principles.
• Passionate about collaborative work and problem solving.

Responsibilities

• Run weld parameter selection experiments to identify a range of welding parameters (voltage, wire speed, travel speed) for new customer applications.
• Partner with robotics engineers to develop rules for moving the workpiece and robot end-effector to automate trajectory generation.
• Perform robotic welding experiments to test sensors, inspection systems, path planning, welding strategies, and new hardware.
• Work with our hardware team to fabricate test coupons for feasibility testing and other in-house experiments.
• 30%-50% travel required; interface with customers directly.
• Operate a state-of-the-art AI-powered robotic welding cell.
• Manually weld coupons and other test parts when needed.
• Use powered shop tools to cut and etch weld samples.
