About this role
About Lucid Bots
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.
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.
About This Role
In this role, you'll build pipeline from scratch and close it. You hunt, earn the conversation, and own deals end to end — measured on closed-won, not busywork. You'll execute Lucid's outbound motion: convert meetings into real pipeline early, then own a revenue target. Built for people who like hunting and scaling what works.
What You'll Do
- Prospect and qualify through outbound (cold outreach, LinkedIn/social, referrals, events, targeted accounts)
- Own the full cycle from first touch through negotiation and close
- Test messaging and ICP targeting; share what works so the playbook gets sharper
- Keep CRM tight — hygiene, forecasting, and deal progression
- Get curious about the product and what actually moves our buyers
Who You Are
- 2–4 years B2B sales with a track record of self-generating pipeline (not just riding inbound)
- You've hit or exceeded quota consistently in a role where outbound was primary or required
- You qualify fast, push deals forward, and walk away from noise
- Comfortable with ambiguity — you don't need a finished playbook to start
- Hardware, SaaS, industrial, or field-ops background is a plus
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 in Charlotte, NC. Hybrid flexibility is possible, but significant on-site presence is expected.

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.
