Senior Hardware Technician, Controls Bring-Up
Share this job
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'll be the first person to bring electricity, intelligence, and motion to a freshly built robotic welding cell. After our build team completes mechanical assembly, the cell rolls to your bench. You'll image the PC and HMI, configure the safety PLC and managed network, set up the robot controller and Functional Safety Unit, configure every field device on EtherNet/IP and IO-Link, run a bit-level I/O check, and execute the safety functional test that proves the cell is safe to move and weld. From there, you hand off to our Logical Bring-Up team for software calibration and production validation.
This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to live at the intersection of controls, robotics, and safety, and who takes pride in being the person who makes a cell come alive.
What You’ll Do
- Execute the full Controls Bring-Up procedure on each new cell: hardware device setup, robot controller setup, and safety QC.
- Configure managed switches and VLANs (control, safety, vision, diagnostic) per the network plan.
- Update PLC firmware, download the released PLC program, and verify a clean startup.
- Set IPs and verify EtherNet/IP comms for valve packs, IO-Link masters, remote I/O blocks, area scanners, distance sensors, and servo packs.
- Configure the welding power source (firmware update, comms interface, weld I/O exchange).
- Set up the robot controller end-to-end: IP, remote pendant, EtherNet/IP scanner/adapter mapping to PLC, safety logic load, controller-to-PLC interlock verification.

Senior Hardware Technician, Laser Tracker Calibration
Share this job
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.
