About the role

  • Big, hard problems are our everyday work, and our team of intelligent, humble, and driven people make the impossible possible together.
  • We're seeking passionate ML Engineers to join our team at the intersection of welding science and artificial intelligence.
  • You'll use your skills in computer vision, deep learning, and Python programming to tackle challenges in our field alongside our talented teams.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain data pipelines for training and evaluating perception models, spanning annotated 3D scan data ingestion, synthetic data generation, and structured dataset management for iterative model improvement.
  • Write clean, well-tested Python code; participate actively in code and experiment reviews; and maintain clear documentation of methods, parameters, and results.
  • Senior/Staff: Lead research, development, and production deployment of advanced perception algorithms spanning point cloud registration, seam detection, and real-time in-process tracking across structured light, RGB, and stereo sensors.
  • Define and own the end-to-end ML lifecycle, from dataset design and annotation strategy through training, benchmarking, and fleet deployment, with clear go/no-go evaluation frameworks.
  • Architect distributed training and hyperparameter optimization workflows; drive strategy for data acquisition, annotation tooling, and synthetic vs. real scan data usage.
  • 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.
  • We currently have experienced (L3/L4), senior (L5) and staff (L6) level openings within and you'll be instrumental in developing robotic welding solutions.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's with strong production ML experience also considered.
  • 3+ years (Experienced) / 7+ years (Senior/Staff) in real-world robotics or industrial ML.
  • Experience with 3D point cloud data and libraries such as Open3D, including geometric concepts like surface segmentation, spatial queries, and point-wise labeling.

Benefits

  • Who You Are Master's or Ph.D. in CS, Robotics, or related field (Computer Vision, ML, or Perception); Bachelor's with strong production ML experience also considered.
