Job summary

Slip Robotics is seeking a Technical Program Manager for Robotics Software to own the release life cycle from simulation to live customer sites, including qualification, staging rollout, and post-release monitoring.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in technical program management, release management, or engineering operations for software that ships to physical systems.
• Experience owning a release process end to end: qualification criteria, go/no-go decisions, staged rollouts, and post-release monitoring.
• Experience planning and coordinating testing that involves physical hardware and field environments.
• Technical fluency to engage engineers on their terms: dashboards, logs, and failure data; engineering background a plus.
• Experience designing workflows and driving adoption across stakeholders.

• Release management. Drive releases through qualification to fleet deployment: entry/exit criteria, go/no-go reviews, staged rollout plans, rollback criteria.
• Post-release observation. Monitor fleet health, triage regressions, route field issues to owners, feed back into backlog.
• Cross-functional partnership. Be the connective tissue between software engineering and product, hardware, deployment, and customer teams.
• Process that scales. Build lightweight, durable process that makes the next release cheaper and scalable with growth.
