Robotic Engineering M

Build the Path ForwardAt 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. Big, hard problems are what Path tackles every day, and our people are our greatest asset to get that job done. We are building an elite robotics team to solve real-time, high-accuracy manipulation — making a robot arm and end-effector do precise physical work in the real world, from live sensor feedback, on platforms that are never perfectly calibrated. Make hard, honest engineering calls about what can and cannot be estimated from the available sensing, and design systems that know their own uncertainty and fail safely.Build robust hard-real-time software that runs reliably on physical robots, not just in simulation.Who You AreDeep, first-principles real-time control and state estimation — model-predictive control, Kalman/particle/moving-horizon estimation, observability analysis. Manipulation robotics — arm kinematics and dynamics, trajectory generation and correction, coordinate frames, hand-eye and extrinsic calibration.Sensor-guided motion / visual servoing — closed perception-to-control loops on real hardware (vision- or sensor-guided manipulation)Track record of real-time robotic systems, built and run on hardware.Depth in robot perception — geometric/model-based vision, 3D sensing, point-cloud registration, calibration — to define what your control loop needs from perception and to reason about how perception error propagates into motion. Modern, production C++ for real-time systems.ROS / ROS 2 and the discipline of hard-real-time software — deterministic loops, timing budgets, buffered concurrency, thread-safety, debugging on real hardware.Why You'll Love It HereDaily free lunch to keep you fueled and connected with the teamFlexible PTO so you can take the time you need, when you need itComprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage6 weeks fully paid parental leave, plus an additional 6-8 weeks for birthing parents (12-14 weeks total)401(k) retirement plan through EmpowerGenerous employee referral bonuses—help us grow our team!Who We AreAt Path Robotics we love coming to work to solve interesting and tough challenges but also because our ideas are welcomed and valued.
