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. We are looking for a Welding Engineer who will work side-by-side with a team of welding engineers to develop an autonomous robotic welding system capable of automatically generating custom motion plans and weld parameters for any part that it sees.
What You’ll Do:
- Run weld parameter selection experiments to identify a range of welding parameters (voltage, wire speed, travel speed) that can be used for new customer applications
- Partner with robotics engineers to develop a set of rules for how to move the workpiece and robot end-effector to automate trajectory generation
- Perform robotic welding experiments to test other systems in development including sensors and inspection systems, path planning and welding strategies, and new hardware
- Work with our hardware team to fabricate test coupons for application feasibility testing and other in-house experiments
- 30%-50% travel required, in which you will be interfacing and working directly with customers.
- Operate a state-of the art AI-powered robotic welding cell
- Manually weld coupons and other test parts when needed
- Use powered shop tools to cut and etch weld samples
Who You Are:
- 3+ years of experience developing robotic welding procedures in an industrial environment
- Proficient in industrial robotics including Yaskawa, ABB, Kuka, or Fanuc platforms
- Background in fusion-based weld parameter development for several metal alloys
- Understand dynamic robotic welding technologies including adaptive fill, touch sensing, and seam tracking
- Proficient with manual welding processes including GMAW, FCAW, GTAW, and SMAW
- Understand weld symbology and print interpretation
- Experience with Design of Experiment (DoE) principles
- Passionate about what you do and enjoy working in a collaborative environment
