Senior Graphic Designer

Columbus, Ohio

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 seeking a Senior Graphic Designer to own the visual output of Path’s marketing: social graphics, one-pagers, slide decks, web and email assets, trade show materials, and print collateral. This is a senior individual contributor role, and we mean hands-on — you will be in the file every day producing the work yourself, not assigning it out and reviewing it. What makes it senior is the judgment you bring to that work: you take a thin brief, a spec sheet, or a wall of technical copy and decide what it should become, execute it cleanly within our established brand, and extend the brand where it does not yet cover a need. Our audience is manufacturing executives, defense primes, and shipbuilders, so the work has to be precise and credible rather than decorative, and a recurring challenge is layout under constraint: dense technical information, real specs, and charts that have to be accurate, made readable. 

You will work directly with the Head of Marketing, alongside our photo and video producer and external design partners, on a team small enough that your work ships within days and gets seen at real scale — trade show floors, defense conferences, and customer plants.

We are hiring for craft first and we are open on level. If you bring the depth to steward Path’s brand and set creative direction across marketing, there is room in this role to take that on — but the person we hire will still be the one in the file every day. If your strengths include photo and video as much as design, look at our Photographer / Videographer and Creative Content Producer postings as well; we read every application against all three.

What You’ll Do

  • Design one-pagers, spec sheets, case studies, and sales enablement materials.
  • Build and refine slide decks for sales, executive presentations, and conference keynotes.
  • Lay out longer-form pieces: whitepapers, reports, and printed handouts.
  • Create charts and simple data visualizations that stay accurate and on-brand.
  • Produce social graphics across LinkedIn and other channels, sized and adapted per platform.
  • Design email templates, web graphics, banners, and paid ad creative.
  • Adapt existing creative into multiple formats, aspect ratios, and sizes.
  • Design trade show graphics — booth panels, banners, signage, and handouts.
  • Prepare production-ready print files and coordinate proofs with vendors.
  • Set the visual direction on campaigns and launches, then execute it yourself end to end.
  • Own and evolve Path’s design system — build and maintain the reusable templates that keep the rest of the company on-brand without a designer in the loop.
  • Brief and art direct external design partners when volume calls for extra hands, and hold the quality bar on what comes back.
  • Bring recommendations to the Head of Marketing on what we should be making, not only how it should look.
  • Grow into brand stewardship and creative direction across marketing if you have the depth for it — this role scales with the person in it.
  • Keep design files and assets organized in the company drive.

Who You Are

  • 5+ years of professional design experience in an in-house, agency, or established freelance practice — or equivalent demonstrated ability. We weigh the portfolio more heavily than the year count.
  • A senior designer who still wants to be the one making the work — you are looking for craft and ownership, not a management track.
  • Judgment to set your own direction from a thin brief, and to push back when a request won’t serve the audience.
  • Working command of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, plus Figma.
  • Comfort designing slide decks — in PowerPoint or Google Slides, not just as static mockups.
  • Ability to work quickly across many small requests without losing quality or consistency.
  • Care about typography, alignment, and hierarchy at the detail level.
  • Experience building or maintaining a brand system others work within.
  • Receptiveness to feedback and quick iteration cycles.
  • Familiarity with print production basics — bleeds, color profiles, and large-format specs — is a plus.
  • Motion or animated social asset experience (After Effects, Canva, or similar) is a plus.
  • Experience designing for technical, industrial, or B2B audiences is a plus.
  • Familiarity with HubSpot or a similar marketing platform is a plus.
  • Any exposure to manufacturing, robotics, or engineering environments is a plus.

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!

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
