Controls Engineer

We're building the future of embodied intelligence at Path Robotics, and we're looking for a Controls Engineer to help build and refine the electrical and controls foundation behind our automation platform.

Requirements

• Design and implement scalable electrical and controls systems for advanced automated equipment and robotic welding cells using SOLIDWORKS Electrical.
• Produce and maintain schematics, panel layouts, I/O lists, cable schedules, and BOMs to enable consistent builds and faster deployment.
• Experiment with, test, and validate new electrical components, controls hardware, and system approaches to improve performance, reliability, manufacturability, and safety.
• Develop, test, and debug PLC software across multiple platforms (e.g., Allen-Bradley / Studio 5000 and Delta PLCs / CODESYS).
• Program and commission VFDs, servos, and motion systems, balancing performance, robustness, and ease of commissioning.
• Integrate and validate third-party electrical components and subsystems, including safety-rated devices (e-stops, light curtains, safety relays, scanners).
• Contribute to machine safety design and risk assessments, supporting compliance with applicable standards while maintaining usability and throughput.
• Partner with supply chain and manufacturing to optimize BOM cost, availability, standardization, and safety compliance.
• Support systems through build, FAT, installation, and commissioning, resolving field issues, and improving future deployments.
• Feed lessons learned back into design improvements, documentation, tools, and standards.
• Collaborate in cross-disciplinary design reviews to align electrical, mechanical, safety, and product decisions.

Benefits

• Daily free lunch
• Flexible PTO
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 6 weeks fully paid parental leave, plus an additional 6–8 weeks for birthing parents (12–14 weeks total)
