ABOUT LUMINOUS

Luminous Robotics is automating the construction of utility-scale solar farms. Our robot, LUMI, autonomously installs solar modules, taking on the most labour-intensive part of solar construction and doing it faster, safer, and more consistently than manual crews. We are on a mission to commoditize harsh manual work by deploying embodied AI into the world’s hardest industrial environments, starting with solar.

This is not a concept. LUMI is on active utility-scale solar sites in Australia today, and we are deploying across multiple projects as we scale. Headquartered in Boston with our Australian operation based in Melbourne, we are growing fast, and Australia is a priority market.

The opportunity is enormous. Australia alone needs tens of gigawatts of new solar built this decade, and the global pipeline is an order of magnitude larger. Labour shortages and rising costs are already throttling the industry’s ability to deliver. We are the answer to that bottleneck, and we are moving quickly to capture it.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for an Assembly Robotics Intern to join our growing team at Luminous Robotics located in South Boston. This position is hands-on and central to our Manufacturing & Assembly team. You will help assemble and test robotic components, troubleshoot mechanical and electrical issues, maintain tools and equipment, and contribute to process improvements that optimize prototype development.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Ability to interpret technical drawings, electrical schematics, and build documentation.
• Clear communication skills and a team-first mindset in high-collaboration environments.
• Some knowledge of hand tools and assembly equipment, preferred.
• Currently or recently graduated from college.

CULTURE FIT

At Luminous, we value grit, creativity, and humility. The ideal candidate is hands-on, proactive, and excited to contribute in a fast-moving environment. We look for individuals who are eager to learn, unafraid to take ownership, and passionate about helping accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy.

COMPENSATION & PERKS

• Exposure to a high-growth startup environment.
• Opportunity for meaningful contributions and tangible results.
• Mentorship from founders and senior team members.
• Field experience with cutting-edge robotic systems.
• Access to team off-sites, workshops, and events.
