We're growing fast and looking for a Staff Mechanical Engineer to join our core engineering team. This is a critical role for a senior individual contributor who will drive the mechanical architecture of our flagship robot platforms. You'll be responsible for taking complex systems from concept through high-volume production, leading technically across projects, and shaping the long-term direction of Slip's hardware design.
Requirements
What You'll Do:
- Own mechanical architecture decisions and lead the design of key subsystems for autonomous mobile robots.
- Serve as the technical lead across multidisciplinary teams to ensure mechanical, electrical, and software integration.
- Spearhead the design and deployment of new hardware capabilities for cargo handling and storage on and above the robot platform.
- Lead the transition from prototype to production, developing scalable, cost-effective, and reliable systems.
- Identify and solve critical electromechanical reliability challenges in real-world operating environments.
- Mentor other engineers and contribute to team best practices, reviews, and engineering culture.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
- 7+ years of industry experience in mechanical design and product development, ideally in robotics, automotive, or industrial systems.
- Proven track record of delivering complex, production-ready hardware in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.
- Expertise in CAD (e.g., Solid Works, Onshape, PDM), FEA/simulation, tolerance analysis, and DFM/DFA practices.
- Deep understanding of materials, mechanical systems, and a range of manufacturing processes.
- Strong systems thinking, with the ability to lead cross-functional efforts and balance tradeoffs across hardware, software, and operations.
- Excellent communication, documentation, and mentorship skills.
Slip Robotics is located in Atlanta, GA, just northeast of the perimeter. This position requires a majority of on-site work.
