Path Robotics

Robotics Software Engineer

Columbus, OhiomidAdded today

About this role

Path Robotics is hiring a Robotics Software Engineer to develop AI-driven robotic systems that perform skilled manual work. You'll write modern C++ across the full robotics stack—from perception and planning to real-time control—and deploy code on live robotic cells, combining classical techniques with learning-based methods.

What you'll do

  • Design motion and trajectory planning for adaptive, sensor-driven robotic tasks with multi-robot coordination
  • Develop inverse kinematics, motion planning, and collision-free trajectory validation for manipulators
  • Build real-time control loops including trajectory correction, feature tracking, and visual servoing
  • Extend robotic systems with mobile platform capabilities: localization, mapping, and navigation
  • Develop hardware drivers and interfaces for robot controllers, sensors, scanners, and cameras
  • Integrate learning-based methods like reinforcement learning and sim-to-real training alongside classical approaches

What they're looking for

  • Modern C++ (systems-level programming)
  • Python
  • Real-time robotics and motion control
  • Multithreading and concurrency
  • Linux development and Git
  • Robot simulation, SLAM, or ROS
  • Reinforcement learning or imitation learning
  • Test-driven development and CI/CD practices

Benefits

  • Daily free lunch
  • Flexible PTO
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • 6-14 weeks fully paid parental leave
  • 401(k) retirement plan through Empower
  • Generous employee referral bonuses
