Chief Financial Officer

About Lucid Bots Lucid Bots is an AI robotics company building the world’s most productive and responsible robots. Our mission is simple: extend human reach. We design intelligent machines that take on dangerous, demanding, and repetitive work—so people don’t have to. 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. 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. Position Summary The Chief Financial Officer is one of the most important hires Lucid Bots will make. This person will take a financial foundation that is already in place and scale it into the infrastructure required to carry a high-growth manufacturing robotics company from low 8-figures toward 9-figure revenue and, eventually, the public markets. This is not a maintenance role, and it is not an advisory role. We are not looking for someone who comes in with a deck full of recommendations and waits for someone else to act on them. The CFO at Lucid Bots gets into the weeds. They take what is working, make it better, and execute alongside the team with radical ownership of the company's financial health. The right person has been inside a manufacturing startup at this stage before and helped it grow through the next phase. They know the difference between a company that is ready for institutional capital and one that just thinks it is. They have been in the trenches and they thrived there. They are startup-minded, operationally sharp, and genuinely excited about what AI tooling can do for a finance team that wants to punch above its weight without just scaling headcount. If you are looking for a caretaker role, this is not it. We are building something, and we need a CFO who wants to build it with us. How You'll Win Own the financial narrative.
