Robotics Technician

Lucid Bots is a U.S. AI robotics manufacturer building exterior cleaning drones and robotics for commercial and government customers. 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.

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.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 3% retirement match
• 15 days of paid time off (PTO)
• 11 paid holidays, with 3 of those being floating holidays
• Employee stock option plan
