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 architecture & standards. Own the software architecture end to end including the repository, code ownership, review requirements, testing and verification strategy, and the standards that keep quality high as the team and codebase grow.
- Delivery cadence. Run a predictable release process that balances fast iteration against qualified, field-ready releases, with the verification rigor a safety-relevant product demands.
- Deployment scalability. Make site N+1 cheaper than site N: coordinate with field teams on commissioning playbooks, per-site configuration management, and navigation and perception robustness across varied facilities, driving down time-to-live for new deployments.
- Safety-critical software. Ensure safety firmware meets functional-safety expectations for mobile robots operating around people (ISO 13849, ISO 3691-4).
- Autonomy & perception. Guide the technical direction for navigation, motion planning, sensor fusion, and perception across a heterogeneous, multi-generation fleet.
- Customer deployment support. Partner with deployment and hardware teams to get robots working in real customer facilities and to close the loop between field failures and engineering priorities.
- Cross-functional partnership. Work closely with hardware, product, and program leadership to align the software roadmap with hardware timelines and customer commitments.
Requirements
- 10+ years building robotics or embedded software, including 5+ years leading and scaling engineering teams.
- Deployed the same autonomous mobile robot system across many distinct customer sites and environments and owned the hardening that follows: site variability, per-site configuration and commissioning, navigation and perception robustness across facilities, and integration differences from customer to customer.
- Experience interfacing AMRs or other industrial robots with common middleware, traffic managers, and/or WMS.
- Deep technical grounding in several of: motion planning and controls, perception and sensor fusion, localization, real-time and embedded systems, and robot middleware (ROS or equivalent).
- Experience owning cloud fleet infrastructure including remote deployment, observability, and data pipelines for a distributed fleet.
- Working knowledge of functional-safety standards for mobile robotics (ISO 13849, ISO 3691-4, ANSI R15.08) and how they shape software architecture.
- A track record of building engineering standards in a growing organization.
Preferred:
- Domain experience in freight, logistics, material handling, or warehouse automation.
- Experience with a Robotics-as-a-Service or hardware-plus-software product model.
- Exposure to defense/government programs and their documentation and process requirements.
- Fluency with modern AI-assisted / agentic development workflows and a point of view on how they change where engineering effort should go.
- Experience with embedded Linux on edge compute (e.g., Jetson-class devices) and edge-to-cloud deployment.
Benefits
- Competitive salary and equity in an early-stage robotics company
- Comprehensive benefits including health, dental, and vision
- Permissive time off policy
- A small team where your work has direct, visible impact on shipped products
Slip Robotics is an equal opportunity employer. We evaluate candidates on the merits of their experience and their fit for the role. We welcome applicants from every background.

Robotics Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a robotics professional in Georgia?
Most robotics roles in Georgia require at minimum an associate or bachelor's degree in robotics engineering, mechatronics, electrical engineering, or a closely related technical field. Georgia does not issue a state-specific robotics license, but employers in aerospace and automotive manufacturing frequently require industry certifications such as the Certified Robot Integrator credential through the Robotic Industries Association. Georgia Technical College System programs and Georgia Tech's engineering programs are well-regarded entry pathways into the field.
How much do roboticses make in Georgia?
Roboticses in Georgia earn a median of about $68,720 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $47,620 for the lowest 10% to over $119,080 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire robotics professionals in Georgia?
Employers hiring robotics professionals in Georgia right now include Georgia Tech, Mujin US, and Slip Robotics, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Georgia's concentration of automotive plants, aerospace facilities, and large-scale logistics operations creates consistent demand from both manufacturers and the systems integrators that support them.
Which Georgia cities have the most robotics jobs?
Atlanta, Smyrna, and Suwanee have the highest concentration of robotics openings in Georgia. Atlanta anchors demand through its dense manufacturing and technology sector, while Savannah's growth as a port and logistics hub drives automation investment, and Columbus benefits from large defense and industrial manufacturing employers with ongoing robotics programs.
Are there remote robotics jobs in Georgia?
Yes, but they're rare. About 14% of robotics openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most robotics work. The roles most likely to have remote flexibility are in simulation software development, technical documentation, and systems design work that does not require physical presence on a production floor.
How can I get hired as a robotics professional in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a technical diploma or associate degree from a Georgia Technical College System campus, which partners directly with regional manufacturers on co-op and apprenticeship programs. Entry-level titles like automation technician, maintenance mechanic, and controls technician are common stepping stones at Georgia plants operated by automotive and aerospace employers. Building a hands-on project portfolio using accessible robot kits and earning a FANUC or Universal Robots operator certification gives candidates a measurable edge when applying for first roles.
