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.
We’re looking for a Software Engineer with deep experience in C++ and Python to lead the development of core systems powering our intelligent robotic platforms. In this role, you’ll architect and implement high-performance software at the intersection of real-time robotics, perception, and machine learning. You’ll take technical ownership of critical components, mentor team members, and help shape the future of our robotics software stack.
What You’ll Do
- Drive software architecture decisions across robotics and perception systems.
- Design, implement, and optimize performance-critical components of the robotics and perception stack in C++ and Python.
- Develop and integrate 3D point cloud processing algorithms for weld joint perception, including registration, pose estimation, segmentation, and geometric reasoning.
- Lead the integration of machine learning models into real-time systems, ensuring low-latency, high-reliability performance.
- Design and implement gRPC/Protobuf service interfaces with attention to schema versioning and backward-compatible API evolution.
- Instrument perception systems for production observability, building telemetry pipelines that connect algorithmic metrics to business outcomes.
Who You Are
- Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering; title and compensation will be commensurate with experience.
- Solid grasp of system-level software design, concurrency, memory management, and optimization.
