Build the Path Forward

 At Path Robotics, we’re building the future of embodied intelligence. Our AI-driven systems enable robots to adapt, learn, and perform in the real world closing the skilled labor gap and transforming industries. We go beyond traditional methods, combining perception, reasoning, and control to deliver field-ready AI that is risk-aware, reliable, and continuously improving through real-world use.

Big, hard problems are our everyday work, and our team of intelligent, humble, and driven people make the impossible possible together.

As a Senior Hardware Technician, you own the geometric truth of every cell that leaves our floor. After Controls Bring-Up is complete, you set up a FARO Vantage laser tracker, level the rail, align positioners, and run the RoboDK robot calibration that tells the welder where it actually is within fractions of a millimeter. You'll capture the data, validate it against our tolerances, package it per the cell type, and hand it off to our Logical Bring-Up team. Without your work, the welder is guessing.
This is a precision role for someone who is at home with a laser tracker, comfortable around large industrial robots in teach mode, and gets satisfaction from clean data.

What You’ll Do

• Set up and operate a FARO Vantage laser tracker: tripod, extension, level, warm-up, and stable lock on SMRs.
• Survey and shim the robot transfer unit (RTU) rail to level within tolerance; re-survey for confirmation.
• Align positioner headstocks and tailstocks (single-side, dual-side, dynamic, static, indexable variants) and capture before/after data.
• Establish robot base coordinate systems in Polyworks Inspector via macro — verify Z-up, X-down-track.
• Run RoboDK robot calibration on welder and (where applicable) global scanner robots — base setup, geometric calibration measurement set, and validation poses.
• Capture RTU and positioner / rail-axis data using our Polyworks macros.
• Generate, clean, and export Polyworks coordinate-system and reference-point reports at six-digit decimal precision; export tables to CSV.
• Run our Python script in RoboDK to compute robot calibration error; verify against RoboDK-reported norms and flag any deviation.
• Assemble the per-cell data package (CSV, TXT, PDF) per our File Naming Convention table for the cell variant; upload to the cell's calibration-results folder.
• Walk the bring-up engineer through the data package; obtain written acceptance; tear down and pack out.
• Identify recurring fixturing, build, or alignment issues that show up on the tracker, and feed them back to design and build through our ECR process.
• Help us automate. Half of this job is repetitive (rename a file, change decimal precision, upload). If you can write Python or shell to kill those steps, we want it.
• Maintain our tracker's calibration certificate, SMRs, cabling, and bring-up laptop image; flag re-cal needs proactively.
• Mentor junior techs — we're growing the team, and being a force-multiplier matters here.

Who You Are

• 3+ years hands-on experience with a FARO laser tracker (Vantage / Ion / equivalent) in a manufacturing or contract-metrology environment.
• Working proficiency with Polyworks Inspector — running and modifying macros, generating and editing inspection reports.
• Practical understanding of dimensional metrology fundamentals: GD&T, coordinate systems, alignment, datum structures, measurement uncertainty.
• Comfort working alongside an industrial six-axis robot in teach mode — including basic teach-pendant navigation.
• Disciplined documentation and file-management practices; you understand why naming conventions matter.
• Comfortable working in PPE in an active manufacturing environment.

Preferred but not required:

• RoboDK robot calibration — geometric DH calibration and validation workflows.
• Yaskawa (or other industrial robot) teach-pendant familiarity.
• Python scripting — even basic file-rename / upload automation is a big plus.
• 3D CAD (SolidWorks) and converting CAD models into RoboDK stations.
• Experience with multiple tracker platforms (Leica, Hexagon) or photogrammetry systems.
• Manufacturer training certificates from FARO, InnovMetric, or RoboDK.
• Experience writing or editing Confluence procedure pages, work instructions, or training materials.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Daily free lunch to keep you fueled and connected with the team
• Flexible PTO so you can take the time you need, when you need it
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 6 weeks fully paid parental leave, plus an additional 6–8 weeks for birthing parents (12–14 weeks total)
• 401(k) retirement plan through Empower
• Generous employee referral bonuses—help us grow our team!

We need a Technical Marketing Engineer. Someone who's spent real time in manufacturing and can turn that knowledge into content that technical buyers actually trust.

This isn't a traditional marketing role. You'll sit on the marketing team but spend your time with engineering, applications, sales, and customer success. Your job is to make sure everything we put out speaks the language of the shop floor, not Silicon Valley.

If a welding engineer reads our white paper, they should think "these people know what they're talking about." That's the bar.

What You’ll Do

• Write white papers, case studies, application guides, product one-pagers, and blog posts grounded in actual manufacturing and welding knowledge
• Build and maintain ROI calculators, business case tools, and other quantitative sales enablement materials
• Translate AI and robotics capabilities into clear, credible messaging for manufacturing audiences. No buzzword stacking.
• Support product launches with technically accurate positioning, competitive analysis, and go-to-market materials
• Create demo scripts, talking points, and presentation content for trade shows (FABTECH, AWS, industry events)
• Work with the applications engineering team to capture customer stories, weld data, and production metrics
• Be the last check on all outbound technical marketing. If it would lose credibility with a fabrication manager, it doesn't go out.
• Contribute to website content, video scripts, and social posts that need technical depth
• Help sharpen competitive positioning against traditional automation and other robotics companies

Who You Are

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Welding Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a closely related field
• 3+ years in engineering, manufacturing, welding, or fabrication environments. You've been on shop floors and understand the realities of production.
• Strong technical writing. You can explain complex concepts clearly without dumbing them down.
• Familiarity with welding
• Comfortable working across engineering, sales, and leadership teams

Desired but not required:

• AWS CWI or CWE certification
• Experience with robotic welding or automation systems
• Background in applications engineering, technical sales, or product marketing at a manufacturing technology company
• Experience building ROI models or business case analyses
• Familiarity with heavy fabrication, shipbuilding, structural steel, or defense manufacturing
• Working understanding of AI/ML concepts (you don't need to write code, but you should be able to explain what a model does and why it matters)

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Daily free lunch to keep you fueled and connected with the team
• Flexible PTO so you can take the time you need, when you need it
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 6 weeks fully paid parental leave, plus an additional 6–8 weeks for birthing parents (12–14 weeks total)
• 401(k) retirement plan through Empower
• Generous employee referral bonuses—help us grow our team!
