We’re hiring a Systems Engineer to own system-level alignment across our robotic platforms.

This is classical systems engineering — not IT, not DevOps.

You will define how hardware and software come together, ensure every requirement is measurable, and prevent integration failures before they happen.

Ensure all engineering teams are building to a shared, testable system definition

Translate product requirements into clear, quantified engineering specifications and maintain system architecture and interface documentation

Eliminate integration surprises before they occur

Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, we design, engineer, manufacture, and support our products in the United States. Our production-ready robots are deployed by customers around the world to improve safety, increase productivity, and elevate operational standards.

We are one of the fastest-growing manufacturing companies in the United States, recently ranked fourth nationally. Backed by leading investors including Y Combinator (S19), Cubit Capital, Idea Fund Partners, Danu Ventures, and others, we are scaling quickly at the intersection of AI, hardware, and real-world impact.

We’re building more than robots—we’re building the future of physical AI.

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.
