Job summary

Path Robotics is seeking a Welding Engineer to join a team developing an autonomous robotic welding system that generates custom motion plans and weld parameters for parts it sees. You will support welding experiments and generate data driving our technology forward, collaborating with welding, robotics, and hardware teams to advance automated welding solutions.

You will work with a dedicated team to solve tough manufacturing challenges, including parameter development for carbon steel,

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience developing robotic welding procedures in an industrial environment.
• Proficient in industrial robotics including Yaskawa, ABB, Kuka, or Fanuc platforms.
• 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 what you do and enjoy working in a collaborative environment.

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 other systems in development including sensors, inspection systems, path planning, welding strategies, and new hardware.
• Work with hardware team to fabricate test coupons for feasibility testing and other in-house experiments.
• Occasional travel (30%-50%), interfacing and working directly with customers.
• 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.
