Software Engineer, C++/Robotics

About the role

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. Our Software Engineers play a crucial role in shaping the future of manufacturing by building robust, real-time back-end and robotics systems.

Responsibilities

• Design modular, concurrent, and distributed systems for perception, planning, and execution — strong multithreading and synchronization
• Develop robotic welding features with automated testing, optimized for real-time, deterministic behavior
• Integrate computer vision, motion planning, and control systems with industrial robots
• Debug complex issues across real-time motion control, perception pipelines, and multi-package integration
• Conduct code reviews and write comprehensive unit and integration tests

Requirements

• Bachelor's in CS, Robotics Engineering, or related field — or equivalent hands-on experience
• 1–2 years in production robotics or C++ systems with real-world deployment
• Strong C++ proficiency
• Experience with ROS and ROS2 (publishers/subscribers, services, node lifecycle, or equivalent)
• Solid multithreading/concurrency skills — thread-safe, real-time, deterministic systems
• Proficient with Git, CI/CD, and containerized deployments (Docker)

Qualifications

• Robotics background — motion planning, perception, or control on real hardware
• Real-time or safety-critical systems experience and performance profiling
• Computer vision and sensor integration in an industrial setting

Skills

• C++ for high-performance, real-time systems development
• ROS and ROS2 (publishers/subscribers, services, multi-package integration)
• Catkin and colcon workspaces with CMake build systems
• Git, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform (AWS)
• CI/CD with GitHub Actions

Benefits
