Software Engineer – Robotics & Systems

<h1><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>About Path robotics</strong></span></h1> <p>Path Robotics is redefining what's possible in autonomous welding. Our AI-powered robotic welding systems use advanced sensing and computer vision to adapt in real time — no fixtures, no programming, no limits. We're building the future of manufacturing, and we're looking for engineers who want to get their hands dirty doing it.</p> <h2><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>The Role</strong></span></h2> <p>We're looking for a <strong>Software Engineer</strong> with strong systems-level instincts and experience building software that interfaces directly with hardware. You'll work across our sensing stack, robotic platform, and compute infrastructure — writing the code that lets our robots see, move, and think. This is a role for someone who's comfortable working close to the metal: writing HALs, integrating sensors and actuators, and squeezing performance out of embedded compute platforms.</p> <h2><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>What You’ll Do</strong></span></h2> <ul> <li>Develop full-stack software for sensing and robotic systems, including HALs for cameras, laser sensors, and communication interfaces.<br><br></li> <li>Build and extend the software architecture that integrates robotic arms, welding systems, and peripheral hardware into a unified control stack.<br><br></li> <li>Design and implement robust device drivers, HALs, and ROS-based components for production robotic applications.<br><br></li> <li>Develop and optimize software for embedded compute platforms such as NVIDIA Jetson, including real-time and GPU-accelerated workloads.<br><br></li> <li>Work closely with hardware, firmware, and systems teams to bring up devices, debug issues across the stack, support deployments, and improve field performance.</li> </ul> <h2><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Who You Are</strong></span></h2> <ul> <li>3–6 years of software engineering experience in robotics, automation, embedded systems, or a related field.<br><br></li> <li>Strong C++ skills in production environments, with working knowledge of Python for tooling, scripting, and testing.<br><br></li> <li>Hands-on experience with ROS or ROS2 in deployed systems.<br><br></li> <li>Experience building HALs, device drivers, or other low-level software for sensors, actuators, and hardware peripherals.<br><br></li> <li>Comfortable with embedded Linux, cross-compilation, and working alongside hardware and firmware engineers to debug integrated s
