Responsibilities
- Build motion and trajectory planning for patterned, adaptive, sensor-driven motions and resource-aware multi-robot sequencing.
- Develop kinematics, reachability, inverse kinematics, and collision-free trajectory planning for robotic manipulators.
- Build real-time control and feedback loops, including trajectory correction, feature tracking, and camera-based visual servoing.
- Extend robots to mobile platforms through localization, mapping, and navigation.
- Own the hardware driver layer for real-time robot-controller communication and reliable sensor, scanner, and camera interfaces.
- Advance the robotics stack with reinforcement learning, learned planners, simulation, and sim-to-real training.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or Mathematics, or equivalent experience.
- 2–4 years of experience building robotics software in modern C++; Python experience is a strong plus.

About Path Robotics
Path Robotics was founded by brothers Andy and Alex Lonsberry with a desire to help fill workforce gaps in the manufacturing industry. At Path Robotics, we understand manufacturers are constantly being asked to do more with less; more reshoring, more demand, and more requirements with less time, less talent, and less tolerance. We’re helping guide the Fourth Industrial Revolution in manufacturing by providing robotic support to help keep up with those challenges. Our welding robots absorb high-volume, repetitive tasks by leveraging AI and machine learning. By doing this, we’re putting humans in safe, productive environments that allows manufacturers to increase productivity and grow their business.
