Columbus, OH, United States Path Robotics, Inc Full time
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.

Our Mechanical Engineers work on some of the most important things we need to change the future of manufacturing - electromechanical components and automation systems that enable safe part holding and quality welds. Our flexible backend system integrates robots, sensors, and other systems present in manufacturing and combines them with our cutting-edge algorithms. You will report to our Hardware Engineering Manager and will join a team of dedicated, supportive, and enthusiastic people to help create the future of manufacturing.
What You'll Do
  • Design welding fixtures, tooling, and robotic cell layouts for automated robotic welding systems.
  • Create build-to-print part and assembly drawings, mechanical BOMs, and layouts in SolidWorks, applying GD&T as needed.
  • Perform structural validation using SolidWorks Simulation (FEA) to support design decisions.
  • Design and integrate pneumatic and low-voltage electrical subsystems within mechanical assemblies.
  • Build and validate designs at our manufacturing facility by hands-on prototyping.
  • Assist in manufacturing through machine shop work and assembly as needed
  • Support builds, kitting, and installations, resolving mechanical issues as systems are deployed.
  • Implement engineering change requests (ECRs) driven by build and field feedback.
  • Partner with manufacturing and supply chain to reduce BOM cost, improve availability, and standardize parts.
  • Capture lessons learned and roll improvements into standards, libraries, and future designs.
Who You Are
  • Bachelors degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering, or equivalent
  • 2-6+ years of experience in mechanical design for automation or robotic systems, ideally in robotic welding environments.
  • Experienced with fixture design, robotic cell layouts, and production automation hardware.
  • Strong user of SolidWorks, including FEA, with the ability to interpret and apply results pragmatically.
  • Comfortable producing manufacturing-ready engineering drawings
  • Familiar with pneumatic systems, electrical interfaces, and mechanical integration points.
  • Knowledgeable in machine safety as it applies to mechanical design, risk reduction, and designing for safe operation and maintenance.
  • Experienced in working with PDM/PLM systems and supporting designs through change.
  • Hands-on and curious about how designs translate to the shop floor.
  • Thinks in terms of repeatability, deployment efficiency, and operational scale.
  • Seeks feedback from internal and external customers, and uses it to drive continuous improvement.
  • Communicates clearly, works well across disciplines, and values shared ownership.
  • Motivated by making each deployment easier, faster, and more reliable than the last.
Why You'll Love Working Here
  • Daily free lunch to keep you fueled and connected with the team
  • 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
  • Generous employee referral bonuses-help us grow our team
