About the role
Build the Path Forward
Path Robotics's standard text
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.
Our Software Engineers play a crucial role in shaping the future of manufacturing by building robust, real-time back-end and robotics systems. Our flexible system integrates robots, sensors, and other manufacturing systems and combines them with our cutting-edge algorithms. Come solve the hardest problems with the best team on the planet!
What You’ll Do
- Design modular, concurrent, and distributed systems for perception, planning, and execution — strong multithreading and synchronization
- Develop robotic welding features with automated testing, optimized for real-time, deterministic behavior
- Integrate computer vision, motion planning, and control systems with industrial robots
- Debug complex issues across real-time motion control, perception pipelines, and multi-package integration
- Conduct code reviews and write comprehensive unit and integration tests
Who You Are
- Bachelor's in CS, Robotics Engineering, or related field — or equivalent hands-on experience
- 1–2 years in production robotics, C++ systems with real-world deployment or equivalent experience. Strong C++ proficiency preferred.
- Experience with ROS2 (publishers/subscribers, services, node lifecycle, or equivalent)
- Comfortable with CMake, colcon workspaces, and dependency management
- Solid multithreading/concurrency skills — thread-safe, real-time, deterministic systems
- Proficient with Git, CI/CD, and containerized deployments (Docker)
Tech
