Electrical Hardware Engineer – PCB & Electrical SystemsColumbus, OhioBuild the Path ForwardPath Robotics is redefining what's possible in autonomous welding. Our AI-powered robotic welding systems use advanced sensing and computer vision to adapt in real time. We're building the future of manufacturing, and we're looking for engineers who want to get their hands dirty doing it.We're looking for an Electrical Hardware Engineer with a strong foundation in PCB design and electrical systems development.
You'll work on the electronics that power mobile robotic welding platforms — from sensor interfaces and motor control to power distribution and embedded communication. This is a role for someone who takes ownership of their designs end to end: from schematic capture through layout, bring-up, and integration into a working system.What You'll DoDesign and develop PCBs for embedded control, power management, motor drive, and sensor interfacing in robotic systemsOwn designs from schematic capture through layout, fabrication, assembly, and hardware validationSpecify and select components with attention to availability, cost, reliability, and fit within the broader electrical architectureDefine and validate electrical interfaces between custom PCBs, off-the-shelf modules, actuators, and sensing hardwareDevelop and execute hardware test plans; debug boards at the bench and support integration with firmware and software teamsMaintain design documentation, schematics, and BOMs in version-controlled workflowsWork with contract manufacturers and PCB fabricators to ensure designs are manufacturable and yield-friendlySupport field investigations and drive design improvements based on reliability findingsWho You AreRequired3–6 years of hardware engineering experience in a product development environmentProficiency in a professional EDA tool for schematic capture and PCB layoutExperience designing multi-layer PCBs with mixed-signal, power, and high-speed digital contentFamiliarity with common embedded communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet)Working knowledge of power electronics — motor drive, DC-DC conversion, power sequencing, and protection circuitsAbility to bring up and debug hardware independently using standard lab equipment (oscilloscope, DMM, logic analyzer)Why You'll Love Working HereCompetitive salary and equity in a well-funded, high-growth robotics companyComprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits401(k)Flexible PTOHands-on, collaborative culture*Path Robotics is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.*
