Since 2018, our fleet of 500+ robots has helped operators generate over $75M in revenue by taking on dull, dirty, and dangerous work — safely and efficiently.</p> <p>Our mission: extend human reach.</p> <p>We're based in Charlotte, NC, where we design, engineer, manufacture, and support our products in the U.S. Customers worldwide — from global enterprises to owner-operators — deploy our robots to improve safety and productivity. We're one of the fastest-growing U.S. manufacturers (recently ranked #4 nationally), backed by a $20M Series B and investors including Y Combinator (S19).</p> <p>We're building more than robots—we're building the future of physical AI.</p> <h3><br>Our Core Values and How We Work Together</h3> <p>At Lucid Bots, we're building something extraordinary - and how we work matters just as much as what we build. These values guide how we hire, grow, and show up for one another.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Expedition Behavior</strong> - We climb as one. No silos, no "that's not my job." We protect the team and share the load.</li> <li><strong>Grow with Humility</strong> - We're relentless learners. We seek feedback, own mistakes, and get better every day.</li> <li><strong>Lift People Up</strong> - Humans come first. We care fiercely, speak honestly, and design for real people in real conditions.</li> <li><strong>Build the Extraordinary</strong> - We take ownership, reject the ordinary, and run toward hard problems.</li> </ul> <p>We live <em>Above the Line</em>: we take responsibility, create solutions, and shape the future.</p> <p>If these values energize you, you'll thrive here. If they feel like too much, this may not be the right climb - and that's okay.</p> <h3><br>Goal of the Role</h3> <p>You’ll build and test the robots that go out into the world. Real hardware, real problems, real pride when a unit ships clean. Days are hands-on: assemble, troubleshoot, and help us get sharper at how we produce. We care as much about how you show up as what you already know, people who actively problem-solve and aim to get better every week thrive here.</p> <h3><br>What You’ll Do</h3> <ul> <li>Assemble, maintain, and optimize robotic systems and related equipment</li> <li>Troubleshoot and repair mechanical and electrical issues</li> <li>Use production tools day-to-day (soldering, CNC, crimpers, torque tools, multimeters, and related equipment)</li> <li>Support warehouse logistics (inventory/shipping) as needed; keep required certs current (Hazmat, forklift, safety)</li> <li>Test and validate units before they ship; document results and non-conformances</li> <li>Improve assembly, QA/QC, and repair processes for efficiency, quality, and safety</li> <li>Partner with engineers on prototypes and share feedback from the bench and field</li> <li>Follow safety/regulatory protocols and keep required logs</li> </ul> <h3><br>Who You Are</h3> <ul> <li>Hands-on builder: you like assembling, fixing, and figuring things out with your hands</li> <li>Self-driven — you look for work, stay busy, and push harder when goals are missed</li> <li>Strong problem-solver</li> <li>Comfortable in a fast-paced production environment with quality and throughput targets</li> <li>High school diploma / GED or equivalent; manufacturing, service, or electro-mechanical assembly experience is a plus</li> <li>Able to lift up to 50 lbs, stand for extended periods, and use PPE</li> <li>Preferred: FAA Part 107 (or willingness to get it within 6 months)</li> <li>Bonus: soldering, harness work, QA tools, CNC/basic machining, or drone/robotics experience</li> </ul> <h3><br>Why Join Lucid Bots?</h3> <ul> <li>Work directly with the founder of a fast-growing, venture-backed robotics startup.</li> <li>Be part of a team solving real-world problems with frontier technology.</li> <li>Get a front-row seat to fundraising, company building, and startup strategy at scale.</li> <li>Learn more in one year than most people do in five—this is a career accelerant.</li> <li>Help support the culture, pace, and systems of a company scaling fast and building things that matter.</li> </ul> <h3><br>Benefits</h3> <ul> <li>Health, dental, and vision insurance</li> <li>3% retirement match</li> <li>15 days of paid time off (PTO)</li> <li>3 sick days</li> <li>11 paid holidays, with 3 of those being floating holidays</li> <li>Employee stock option plan</li> </ul> <h3><br>Additional Notes</h3> <p>This role is based on-site at our Charlotte, NC headquarters!</p> <h3><br>We’d Love to Hear from You!</h3> <p>Don't just apply. Stand out.</p> <p><strong>The Reality:</strong> On paper, many resumes look the same. We don't hire paper; we hire people. While a video is technically optional, it is the single best way to separate yourself from the stack.</p> <p><strong>The Promise:</strong> This is not a black hole. If you take the time to record it, we will take the time to watch it.</p> <p><strong>What to Send:</strong> (2 mins max) Please do not read a script. Do not worry about editing or production value. Just open your camera and talk to us.</p> <ol> <li><strong>Why here?</strong> Why are you excited about Lucid Bots specifically?</li> <li><strong>Why you?</strong> What is the one thing about you that a resume can't capture?</li> </ol> <p>If you want the highest probability of an interview, send us a video.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
