Field Install Technician

At Path Robotics, we're attacking a trillion dollar opportunity - doing things that have never been done before to support an industry hurting from a lack of skilled labor. As a Field Installation Technician, you will travel to customer sites to build and install Path's robotic welding cells. You'll be part of the install team that takes each cell from crates on the customer's floor to a fully assembled, wired and verified system, ready for hand-off to our Deployment Engineers. You will report to the Field Installation Manager and work closely with Deployment Engineering, Deployment PMs and the customer's plant team on every install. This role travels 80-90% of the time, and on site you are the face of Path to our customers.
