Overview

Lightship is the first American all-electric recreational vehicle manufacturer currently developing an aerodynamic, battery-powered trailer for the electric age. As the macro transition to an all-electric transportation ecosystem accelerates, Lightship is bringing the increased convenience and superior performance that electrification offers to a pastime enjoyed by over 11 million American families.

Honoring Diverse Perspectives

Lightship is committed to hiring and developing top talent from diverse backgrounds. We believe representing and supporting diverse groups is key to the success of our team members, customers, shareholders and the achievement of our mission and vision. We operate in a collaborative environment with a flat organizational structure and expect a high degree of integrity, autonomy and creativity from all members of the team.

About the Role
As a Manufacturing Technician, you're a member of a production crew building Lightship's all-electric RVs from the ground up. Lightship manufacturing runs low-volume, new-product-introduction builds - work instructions aren't always mature, and part of the job is building correctly and safely even when the paperwork hasn't caught up yet.

You'll start by executing detailed instructions under close guidance, and grow into handling ambiguity, working across multiple stations, and making judgment calls engineering and quality can trust. A combination of hard work, good judgment, and a good attitude will be essential to your success.

Day shift starts at 7:00 a.m. and finishes at 3:30 p.m. each day (Monday–Friday), with two 15-minute breaks and a half-hour lunch. This role is eligible for overtime pay, and occasional extra hours may be required.

There are multiple openings available, and we'll continue hiring on a rolling basis as we grow our team in 2026.

Beyond Your Station
At this stage of the company, no job description can capture everything that comes up on a given day, and "that's not my job description" isn't how this team operates. You may be asked to step outside your assigned station to help Service, support Test on a vehicle commissioning or shakedown, assist the field team on-site, or lend a hand on a customer's vehicle. When the need arises you're expected to bring the same ownership and care to that work as you do at your home station.
