## Job description

Build the Path Forward

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. We go beyond traditional methods, combining perception, reasoning, and control to deliver field-ready AI that is risk-aware, reliable, and continuously improving through real-world use.

Big, hard problems are our everyday work, and our team of intelligent, humble, and driven people make the impossible possible together.

We are looking for a hands-on Product Enablement Training Manager to own our technical training strategy end-to-end. In this high-impact, individual-contributor role, you will build and deliver the curriculums that empower both our internal fleet technicians and customer operators to run, maintain, and get the absolute most out of our autonomous welding robots. You will serve as the crucial bridge between Engineering and the field, turning product innovations into real-world adoption, safety, and uptime.

## What You’ll Do

- Design, build, and maintain comprehensive training curriculums for internal fleet technicians (maintenance, troubleshooting, service) and customer operators (safe, efficient daily operation)

- Partner closely with Engineering and Product to turn release notes, new features, and technical manuals into engaging, actionable field training

- Travel up to 40% to customer sites and fleet locations to deliver hands-on training, gather field feedback, and evaluate curriculum effectiveness

- Build scalable, repeatable training frameworks, certification programs, and refresher courses that grow alongside our fleet

- Track and measure training outcomes, using data on feature adoption, certification completions, and support ticket trends to continuously optimize programs

- Serve as the voice of the field back to Product and Engineering, highlighting friction points in tooling, documentation, or user experience

- Maintain, version, and continuously update all training materials as our hardware and software rapidly evolve

## Who You Are

- Experienced: 4+ years in technical training, curriculum design, or customer enablement—ideally within robotics, industrial equipment, or manufacturing environments

- Program Builder: Proven ability to design and roll out technical training programs from scratch rather than just delivering pre-existing content

- Technical Translator: Skilled at converting complex engineering documentation into intuitive, practical learning for diverse technical and non-technical audiences

- Dynamic Facilitator: Exceptionally strong in-person instruction skills, equally comfortable on a busy shop floor or in a classroom setting

- Field-Ready: Willing and able to travel 30%–40% to customer sites and fleet locations

- Self-Directed: Comfortable acting as the single owner of the training function, setting priorities, and driving cross-functional projects independently

- Bonus Points: Familiarity with LMS platforms, welding or manufacturing domain knowledge, or experience supporting both internal tech teams and external customers

## Why You’ll Love Working Here

- Daily free lunch to keep you fueled and connected with the team

- Flexible PTO so you can take the time you need, when you need it

- 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)

- 401(k) retirement plan through Empower

- Generous employee referral bonuses—help us grow our team!

## About Path Robotics

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Path Robotics builds physical AI systems that enable autonomous robotic welding for heavy industries, addressing the critical skilled labor shortage in manufacturing.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series D, $271M total funding)
- **Headquarters**: Columbus, Ohio, United States
- **Founded**: 2014
- **Founders**: Andy Lonsberry (CEO) and Alex Lonsberry (CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Industrial robotics, AI-powered manufacturing automation, heavy fabrication
- **Target customers**: B2B, Enterprise — specifically heavy industry, defense, utility & energy, data center construction, and general manufacturing
- **Mission**: Create real value for customers while rebuilding the backbone of American industry by helping manufacturers navigate the skilled labor shortage.

## Products & Services
- **Intelligent Welding Cells**: Fixed robotic cells that use AI and computer vision to see, understand, and adapt to part variations in real-time, enabling autonomous welding without precision fixturing.
- **Obsidian™ AI**: A foundational AI model for welding, trained on tens of millions of welded inches, enabling real-time adaptation for high-quality welds across part-to-part variations.
- **JobBuilder**: A web-based software application launched at FABTECH 2024 that simplifies part programming, reducing the setup bottleneck and expanding the addressable market to fabricators without specialized robotics staff.
- **Path Foundry (RaaS)**: A Robotics-as-a-Service model where Path owns and operates the welding cells, charging customers for welding capacity with $0 CapEx, targeting a 30% lower cost and 4x productivity improvement.
- **Rove**: A mobile welding system mounted on a quadruped platform (announced April 2026), extending adaptive welding capabilities beyond fixed-cell applications.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: $271M total funding raised (Series D, last raised ~2 years ago)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not publicly named in available sources; the company has a Board of Directors and leadership team including a Chief Revenue Officer (Heather Carroll) and EVP of Global Operations (Mike Renn).
- **Growth Signals**: 198 employees as of March 2026; launched Path Foundry RaaS model in October 2024; launched JobBuilder at FABTECH 2024; announced Rove mobile welding system in April 2026; serves 4 key industries (Defense, Data Centers, Utility & Energy, Heavy Industry); addresses a forecasted 600k welder shortage by 2030.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Perception-driven fit-up**: The core differentiator is the ability to recognize part geometry, compensate for dimensional variation, and execute a weld without precision fixturing — a capability traditional robotic welding lacks, which requires tight part consistency.
- **Obsidian™ foundational AI model**: A purpose-built, first-of-its-kind AI model for welding trained on tens of millions of welded inches, enabling continuous learning and real-time adaptation.
- **RaaS model (Path Foundry)**: Eliminates upfront CapEx for customers, lowering adoption barriers for mid-market fabricators who cannot justify six- or seven-figure capital commitments.
- **End-to-end autonomy**: The system handles pick, fit-up, and weld in a single automated flow, with 24/7 mission control support, targeting 4x productivity improvement.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling the RaaS model**: Path Foundry is the primary go-to-market strategy, requiring the company to manage fleet maintenance, logistics, service-level guarantees, and asset utilization across a distributed installed base.
- **Expanding addressable geometry**: The Rove mobile platform announcement signals a push beyond fixed-cell applications into more varied and mobile welding environments.
