Description

Slip Robotics builds autonomous robots that load trailers and move heavy loads. Our robots run at warehouse and manufacturing sites across North America, and we now hold an Air Force contract for depot aircraft maintenance. Our Air Force SBIR Phase II is under way, and we're growing our government business on that foundation.

As Government Capture Lead, you'll own capture from the first look at an opportunity through the signed award.

Keep the pipeline, SAM.gov registration, and compliance baseline current (CMMC, Section 889, ITAR, Buy American).
Turn customer requirements into clear asks for engineering.

Requirements

7+ years in DoD capture, proposals, or contracting.
A record of winning SBIR Phase III awards or follow-on production contracts (named awards).
Experience at a small defense-tech company, or helping one scale.
Proposals and briefings that senior government readers act on.

About the Company

Slip Robotics

Robotic loading automation for trucks

Slip Robotics provides the SlipBot, an Automated Loading Robot offered as a Robots-as-a-Service for loading docks. The system loads or unloads a full trailer in about five minutes by staging freight at the dock and moving it as a single unit, with control software (SlipController and SlipView) and attachments for non-uniform items, all without facility changes or IT setup. They differentiate themselves with rapid deployment, trailer-agnostic hardware, a data-driven management layer, and a safety advantage by removing forklift operators from trailer interiors under a subscription model. Their goal is to cut dock loading time and truck dwell, boost throughput, and scale deployments while delivering actionable operational data.
