Build the Path Forward

Path Robotics is redefining what's possible in autonomous welding. Our AI-powered robotic welding systems use advanced sensing and computer vision to adapt in real time. We're building the future of manufacturing, and we're looking for engineers who want to get their hands dirty doing it.

We're looking for a Mechanical Engineer with a passion for building hardware that works in the real world. You'll 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.

What You'll Do

• 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

What We're Looking For

• 3–6 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 You’ll 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
