Jobs at Slip Robotics

Owns government capture from opportunity identification through contract award, with primary responsibility for converting an Air Force SBIR Phase II into Phase III and follow-on production contracts. Leads pursuit qualification, bid/no-bid decisions, proposal development, pricing input, teaming, compliance, pipeline management, and engineering requirement translation. Requires deep DoD capture experience, proven SBIR or production-contract wins, and 25–40% travel.

Own revenue operations infrastructure, including forecasting, territory and quota management, pipeline reporting, CRM administration, lead routing, analytics, and cross-functional alignment. The role partners with Sales, Marketing, and Finance to build scalable processes, improve productivity, support executive decision-making, and establish repeatable revenue systems in a growth-stage B2B robotics company.

Own full-cycle recruiting for technical roles across hardware, software, data, systems, robotics, and engineering. Partner with hiring managers to define requirements, build interview processes, source passive candidates, manage candidate experiences, and close offers. Develop pipelines for specialized talent, track recruiting metrics, improve hiring processes, and represent the company in a competitive robotics and hardware market.

Lead forensic analysis of mechanical and electrical field returns, identify root causes, drive CAPA and cross-functional design or process improvements, and develop quality tools and tests to detect or eliminate defects.

Owns end-to-end launch timelines for autonomous robotics deployment sites. Coordinates Production, Engineering, Supply Chain, Account Management, customers, and other stakeholders; tracks milestones, dependencies, risks, and forecasts; leads status reviews; escalates delays; and maintains a scalable source of truth for launch reporting. The role also develops process tools and automation to improve tracking efficiency as launch volume grows.

Owns the full customer site lifecycle for autonomous warehouse robotics deployments, including site assessments, solution design, configuration, quality handoff, installation, commissioning, operator training, post-launch support, and issue resolution. Serves as the primary on-site customer contact, documents risks and gaps, reports launch status, and feeds lessons learned into deployment processes. Requires extensive warehouse operations knowledge, customer-facing training skills, commissioning experience, and 50–75% domestic and international travel.

Conduct outbound outreach and qualify inbound leads to build pipeline for large shippers and 3PLs. Nurture prospects, track lead progression, provide marketing feedback, and hand off qualified opportunities to sales.

Design and develop mixed-signal electrical systems and PCBs for autonomous robotic systems. Specify components, perform analysis and simulations, create schematics/BOMs, support manufacturing, testing, debugging, and regulatory compliance while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Develop and optimize path planning, trajectory generation, and motion controllers for heavy-payload autonomous mobile robots. Integrate localization and perception, validate sim-to-real behavior, implement obstacle avoidance and safety behaviors, analyze field telemetry, and collaborate across hardware, perception, and cloud teams to deploy reliable navigation in production.

Own the hardware-software interface for production robotic platforms: develop sensor and actuator drivers, manage communication buses and Linux configurations, integrate new hardware, monitor system health, build edge/cloud device management, and support field-deployed robots through diagnostics and validation.

Own and ship the perception stack for autonomous mobile robots, integrating LiDAR, cameras, IMUs and other sensors. Design detection, segmentation, localization, mapping, and sensor-fusion pipelines; build datasets and CI/CD for perception models; debug deployed systems on-site; collaborate with navigation, controls, and hardware teams to deliver reliable production performance in real freight facilities.

Lead mechanical architecture and design of autonomous mobile robots from concept to high-volume production. Own subsystem design, integration with electrical and software teams, improve electromechanical reliability, deploy cargo handling hardware, mentor engineers, and establish scalable DFM/DFA processes.

Design and execute comprehensive hardware tests, develop manufacturing test setups and automated test systems, analyze results to identify defects, collaborate with engineering to resolve issues, mentor junior engineers, and document procedures to ensure production readiness.

Lead and scale the robotics software function across autonomy, perception, firmware/controls, simulation, and safety. Own architecture, engineering standards, release cadence, and deployment scalability for multi-site AMR fleets. Hire and mentor engineers, ensure functional-safety compliance, guide autonomy/perception direction, and support customer deployments and cross-functional alignment.

Lead and scale the program management function for hardware-focused NPD. Own stage-gate processes, integrated schedules, requirements traceability, program risk, production ramp, field deployments, and post-launch monitoring. Hire and develop PM/TPM team and provide a single trusted portfolio view for executives.

Sell multi-site, multi-year Robots-as-a-Service contracts to enterprise customers. Own full sales cycle, build C-suite relationships, create ROI business cases, lead cross-functional pursuit teams, navigate procurement/legal, forecast pipeline in CRM, and partner with post-close teams for deployment and expansion.

Lead the solutions engineering team from discovery through post-sale deployment. Support account executives on technical strategy, validate site feasibility and SOWs, translate site conditions into configurations and ROI, bridge Sales and Product/Engineering, and produce reusable configuration playbooks to ensure operationally viable, profitably deliverable solutions.
