Field Engineering Manager

Slip Robotics is a B2B Robotics-as-a-Service company deploying autonomous loading and unloading robots — SlipBots and SlipLifts — at warehouse and fulfillment sites across North America. Our customers are some of the largest shippers and 3PLs in the industry, and we're scaling fast. We build the robots, we deploy them, and we keep them running.

This is a player-coach role — you will lead a team of Field Engineers while remaining close enough to the technical work to set and enforce high standards.

You are inheriting a capable team and stepping into a function where the opportunity — and expectation — is to replace tribal knowledge and reactive heroics with structure, documented standards, and scalable execution. You will be the connective tissue between what Field Engineers observe at customer sites and what Design, Mechanical, and Product Engineering teams act on.

Responsibilities:

Direct Team

• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of 3–5 Field Engineers — setting clear performance expectations, individual growth paths, and a team culture grounded in disciplined engineering practice.
• Establish the operating cadences that make the team pre
