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. Our mission: extend human reach. 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). We're building more than robots—we're building the future of physical AI. Our Core Values and How We Work Together 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. - Expedition Behavior - We climb as one. No silos, no "that's not my job." We protect the team and share the load. - Grow with Humility - We're relentless learners. We seek feedback, own mistakes, and get better every day. - Lift People Up - Humans come first. We care fiercely, speak honestly, and design for real people in real conditions. - Build the Extraordinary - We take ownership, reject the ordinary, and run toward hard problems. We live Above the Line: we take responsibility, create solutions, and shape the future. 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. Goal of the Role 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. ## What You’ll Do - Assemble, maintain, and optimize robotic systems and related equipment - Troubleshoot and repair mechanical and electrical issues - Use production tools day-to-day (soldering, CNC, crimpers, torque tools, multimeters, and related equipment) - Support warehouse logistics (inventory/shipping) as needed; keep required certs current (Hazmat, forklift, safety) - Test and validate units before they ship; document results and non-conformances - Improve assembly, QA/QC, and repair processes for efficiency, quality, and safety - Partner with engineers on prototypes and share feedback from the bench and field - Follow safety/regulatory protocols and keep required logs ## Who You Are - Hands-on builder: you like assembling, fixing, and figuring things out with your hands - Self-driven — you look for work, stay busy, and push harder when goals are missed - Strong problem-solver - Comfortable in a fast-paced production environment with quality and throughput targets - High school diploma / GED or equivalent; manufacturing, service, or electro-mechanical assembly experience is a plus - Able to lift up to 50 lbs, stand for extended periods, and use PPE - Preferred: FAA Part 107 (or willingness to get it within 6 months) - Bonus: soldering, harness work, QA tools, CNC/basic machining, or drone/robotics experience Why Join Lucid Bots? - Work directly with the founder of a fast-growing, venture-backed robotics startup. - Be part of a team solving real-world problems with frontier technology. - Get a front-row seat to fundraising, company building, and startup strategy at scale. - Learn more in one year than most people do in five—this is a career accelerant. - Help support the culture, pace, and systems of a company scaling fast and building things that matter. ## Benefits - Health, dental, and vision insurance - 3% retirement match - 15 days of paid time off (PTO) - 3 sick days - 11 paid holidays, with 3 of those being floating holidays - Employee stock option plan Additional Notes This role is based on-site at our Charlotte, NC headquarters! We’d Love to Hear from You! Don't just apply. Stand out. The Reality: 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. The Promise: This is not a black hole. If you take the time to record it, we will take the time to watch it. What to Send: (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. - Why here? Why are you excited about Lucid Bots specifically? - Why you? What is the one thing about you that a resume can't capture? If you want the highest probability of an interview, send us a video. ## About Lucid Bots ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Lucid Bots manufactures autonomous cleaning drones and ground robots for commercial exterior maintenance, painting, and construction. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series B) - **Headquarters**: Charlotte, North Carolina, United States - **Founded**: 2017 - **Founders**: Andrew Ashur ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Robotics, Automation Machinery Manufacturing, Commercial Cleaning & Construction - **Target customers**: B2B – property managers, contractors, universities, and commercial building maintenance operators - **Mission or purpose statement**: “To extend human reach” by building robots that handle the dull, dirty, dangerous, and demeaning tasks, freeing people for creativity and higher-value work. ## Products & Services - **[Sherpa Drone](https://www.lucidbots.com)**: Autonomous cleaning and window-washing drone for exterior building surfaces.
