What is a welding side?

A Welding Side job typically refers to welding work done as a side hustle or secondary job, often on a contract or freelance basis. Welders in these roles take on projects outside of full-time employment, such as repair work, custom fabrication, or small construction jobs. This type of work allows flexibility in scheduling and can be a way to earn extra income. Common industries for side welding jobs include automotive repair, metal art, and home improvement projects.

What are the typical responsibilities of a welding side in a manufacturing or construction environment?

A Welding Side is generally responsible for assisting certified welders by preparing materials, maintaining tools and equipment, and supporting the welding workflow on job sites. Daily tasks may include setting up welding machines, arranging workpieces, inspecting finished welds for quality, and ensuring a safe, organized work area. This role often works closely with welders, fabricators, and supervisors, providing hands-on assistance and contributing to rapid project completion. It's a great opportunity to gain experience and knowledge for career advancement in the welding trade.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the welding side position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Welding Side, you need practical skills in welding techniques, blueprint reading, and metal fabrication, often supported by a high school diploma or vocational training. Familiarity with welding equipment such as MIG/TIG welders, cutting torches, and adherence to safety standards and certifications (like AWS) is typically required. Attention to detail, teamwork, and reliability are important soft skills for excelling in this role. These competencies ensure that welds meet quality specifications and safety guidelines while maintaining efficient workflow in industrial settings.

How to find side welding jobs?

To find side welding jobs, search online job boards, local classifieds, and industry-specific websites for part-time or freelance opportunities. Building a portfolio of your work and obtaining relevant certifications can also help attract clients or employers seeking welders for short-term projects or additional work.

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 Welding Engineer who will work side-by-side with a team of welding engineers to develop an autonomous robotic welding system capable of automatically generating custom motion plans and weld parameters for any part that it sees. You will also support teams with welding experiments, generating the data that propels our technology forward. You will join a team of dedicated, supportive, and enthusiastic people to help create the future of manufacturing.
What You'll Do
  • Run weld parameter selection experiments to identify a range of welding parameters (voltage, wire speed, travel speed) that can be used for new customer applications
  • Partner with robotics engineers to develop a set of rules for how to move the workpiece and robot end-effector to automate trajectory generation
  • Perform robotic welding experiments to test other systems in development including sensors and inspection systems, path planning and welding strategies, and new hardware
  • Work with our hardware team to fabricate test coupons for application feasibility testing and other in-house experiments
  • 30%-50% travel required, in which you will be interfacing and working directly with customers.
  • Operate a state-of the art AI-powered robotic welding cell
  • Manually weld coupons and other test parts when needed
  • Use powered shop tools to cut and etch weld samples

Who You Are
  • 3+ years of experience developing robotic welding procedures in an industrial environment
  • Proficient in industrial robotics including Yaskawa, ABB, Kuka, or Fanuc platforms
  • Background in fusion-based weld parameter development for carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
  • Proficient with manual welding processes including GMAW, FCAW, GTAW, and SMAW
  • Understand weld symbology and print interpretation
  • Experience with Design of Experiment (DoE) principles
  • Passionate about what you do and enjoy working in a collaborative environment

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!
