About the role
- Big, hard problems are what Path tackles every day, and our people are our greatest asset to get that job done.
- A confident wrong answer is the most dangerous thing this role can produce, because the loop will act on it.
- You will evaluate sensing options, run the experiments that settle them, and defend the choice with numbers.
Responsibilities
- Making the estimate honest about its own failure. A confident wrong answer is the most dangerous thing this role can produce, because the loop will act on it. We want estimates that know when they are wrong and say so early enough to matter.
- Geometric estimation against a known model - recovering where things are, well enough to work against, from partial and imperfect data, and knowing when the geometry does not actually support the answer you just produced.
- Build the Path Forward
- Our intelligent, hardworking team of people do the impossible every single day, yet remain incredibly kind, humble, and always ready to support one another.
Requirements
- You have closed a real-time loop on what a camera saw, on real hardware, and something physical moved in response.
- You can state its rate, its measured end-to-end latency, and how you measured it - not the model's inference time, the whole chain.
- A physical accuracy claim you can defend - measured against something independent of the system that produced it, with bias reported separately from repeatability.
Benefits
- First-principles depth in classical vision and 3-D geometry - camera geometry, triangulation, registration and where it fails, calibration, and propagating error properly rather than quoting a single number.
- We are building an elite robotics and perception team, and we are looking for an exceptional hands-on Perception Engineer to own the vision a real-time control loop closes on.
- Flexible PTO so you can take the time you need, when you need it
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
- 6 weeks fully paid parental leave, plus an additional 6-8 weeks for birthing parents (12-14 weeks total)
- 401(k) retirement plan through Empower

- Robustness where the signal is being actively degraded. Getting a reliable measurement out of imagery that something is deliberately ruining is the hardest part of the job and the part that decides whether the whole system works.
- Choosing and proving the instruments. You will evaluate sensing options, run the experiments that settle them, and defend the choice with numbers. This is a real part of the role, not an occasional errand.
- At Path Robotics, we're attacking a trillion dollar opportunity - doing things that have never been done before to support an industry hurting from a lack of skilled labor.
