The posting

Slip Robotics is a B2B Robotics-as-a-Service company deploying autonomous loading and unloading robots — SlipBots and SlipLifts — at warehouse and fulfillment sites across North America. Our customers are some of the largest shippers and 3PLs in the industry, and we're scaling fast. We build the robots, we deploy them, and we keep them running.

We are seeking a Machinist - Laser Operator to staff our newly created machine shop with a primary focus on rapid prototyping, R&D support, and engineering iteration. This role will primarily be responsible for operating and maintaining a fiber laser cutter. Additionally, the role includes operating and maintaining a press brake, deburrer, and MIG, TIG, and laser welders. This role is central to accelerating product development—partnering closely with Engineering to quickly fabricate, test, modify, and refine components as designs evolve.

While the shop will support limited production needs, the core mandate is speed, flexibility, and technical collaboration—not high-volume machining. The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced development environments, can translate rough concepts into physical parts quickly, and understands how to balance precision with iteration velocity.

Responsibilities:

  • Operate and maintain a Senfeng SF3015C fiber laser cutter
  • Operate and maintain a Amada FBD1253NT press brake
  • Operate and maintain MIG, TIG, and laser welders
  • Rapid Prototyping & R&D (Primary Focus)
  • Partner directly with Engineering to fabricate prototype components, test fixtures, and development hardware with fast turnaround.
  • Enable rapid iteration by quickly modifying parts, optimizing toolpaths, and adjusting setups as designs evolve.
  • Provide design-for-manufacturability feedback early in the development cycle.
  • Support experimental builds, mechanical validation testing, and small-batch development runs.
  • Help create flexible, reusable fixturing and processes that accelerate future iterations.
  • Limited Production Support (Secondary)
  • Support short-run and bridge-production needs such as edge extensions, tray feet, brackets, and other hardware when required.
  • Maintain repeatable processes and documentation to ensure consistent quality for small-batch runs.

Requirements

  • Strong CNC & CAM expertise, including 2D/3D toolpath creation and efficient G-code optimization.
  • Demonstrated experience in prototype-driven or R&D-heavy environments.
  • Ability to work directly with engineers to interpret evolving designs and incomplete specifications.
  • Strong judgment on when to prioritize speed vs. precision in development builds.
  • Deep understanding of shop safety and ability to train others.
  • Shop Operations: Familiarity with fabrication equipment and machine shop best practices.

Preferred:

  • Robotics Exposure: Experience working in robotics, especially in prototyping or manufacturing environments.
  • ERP/Inventory Systems: Experience using ERP systems to track materials or jobs.
  • General Fabrication: Welding, deburring, tapping, or assembly experience is a plus.
  • Documentation: Comfort documenting processes, setups, and toolpaths for repeatability.

Qualifications:

  • Experience: Minimum 5 years of experience in a machine shop or fabrication setting.
  • Education: Technical training, certifications, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Travel: Little to no travel required.
  • Physical: Able to lift and carry up to 50 pounds; comfortable working on your feet.
  • Attitude: You take ownership, thrive on independence, and are excited to build something new. You bring a “can do” attitude and a commitment to safety, quality, and service.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and equity in an early-stage robotics company
  • Comprehensive benefits including health, dental, and vision
  • Permissive time off policy

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.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
