Robotics Software Engineering Leader

Slip Robotics is at the forefront of robotic automation, delivering cutting-edge solutions that transform how businesses move goods. Our autonomous platforms redefine efficiency, reliability, and scalability in logistics. We’re a fast-growing team of innovators passionate about helping customers adopt automation seamlessly and successfully.

As the Robotics Software leader, you own the entire robotics software function including the people, the architecture, and the delivery. You’ll lead a growing team spanning autonomy and navigation, perception, firmware and motor controls, simulation, and safety-critical software. You’ll set the technical direction and engineering standards, build and scale the team, and take operational ownership of the codebase and release process. The core challenge of this role is scale across sites, not scale at one: making a system that works beautifully at one facility work reliably at the fiftieth, without deployment effort growing linearly. This is a hands-on leadership role. You’ll spend your time on architecture decisions, hiring, unblocking the team, designing and implementing workflows, and raising the quality bar.

Responsibilities:

• Team leadership & growth. Build, mentor, and scale a robotics software team across autonomy, perception, firmware/controls, simulation, and safety. Set clear module ownership, hire against the roadmap, and grow senior ICs and future managers.
• Technical architec
