Technical Marketing Engineer

Columbus, Ohio Full Time

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 need a Technical Marketing Engineer. Someone who's spent real time in manufacturing and can turn that knowledge into content that technical buyers actually trust.

This isn't a traditional marketing role. You'll sit on the marketing team but spend your time with engineering, applications, sales, and customer success. Your job is to make sure everything we put out speaks the language of the shop floor, not Silicon Valley.

If a welding engineer reads our white paper, they should think "these people know what they're talking about." That's the bar.

What You’ll Do

  • Write white papers, case studies, application guides, product one-pagers, and blog posts grounded in actual manufacturing and welding knowledge
  • Build and maintain ROI calculators, business case tools, and other quantitative sales enablement materials
  • Translate AI and robotics capabilities into clear, credible messaging for manufacturing audiences. No buzzword stacking.
  • Support product launches with technically accurate positioning, competitive analysis, and go-to-market materials
  • Create demo scripts, talking points, and presentation content for trade shows (FABTECH, AWS, industry events)
  • Work with the applications engineering team to capture customer stories, weld data, and production metrics
  • Be the last check on all outbound technical marketing. If it would lose credibility with a fabrication manager, it doesn't go out.
  • Contribute to website content, video scripts, and social posts that need technical depth
  • Help sharpen competitive positioning against traditional automation and other robotics companies

Who You Are

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Welding Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a closely related field
  • 3+ years in engineering, manufacturing, welding, or fabrication environments. You've been on shop floors and understand the realities of production.
  • Strong technical writing. You can explain complex concepts clearly without dumbing them down.
  • Familiarity with welding
  • Comfortable working across engineering, sales, and leadership teams

Desired but not required:

  • AWS CWI or CWE certification
  • Experience with robotic welding or automation systems
  • Background in applications engineering, technical sales, or product marketing at a manufacturing technology company
  • Experience building ROI models or business case analyses
  • Familiarity with heavy fabrication, shipbuilding, structural steel, or defense manufacturing
  • Working understanding of AI/ML concepts (you don't need to write code, but you should be able to explain what a model does and why it matters)

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!
