Why we read it this way (6)
Path Robotics is headquartered in Columbus, OH; no explicit location is stated in the posting but the company is known to be based there. Remote status is assumed on-site given the robotics/hardware nature of the role and the mention of daily free lunch.
The JD requires only 1–2 years of experience and a Bachelor's or equivalent hands-on experience, placing this firmly at the Junior band despite the breadth of the tech stack.
Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, and GitHub Actions appear in the 'Tech you'll use' narrative stack section rather than the 'Who You Are' requirements block, so they are treated as preferred/context rather than hard gates.
Computer vision is listed under the 'Nice to have' section alongside motion planning and sensor integration, so it is marked preferred.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Degree requirement is None because the JD explicitly accepts 'equivalent hands-on experience' in lieu of a Bachelor's degree.
