About Lightship
Lightship builds the first fully electric travel trailer engineered from the ground up to inspire a new form of travel. The AE.1 carries a 77 kWh pack standard and propels itself, offsetting its own aerodynamic drag to improve towing efficiency, range, and safety. It raises its roof at camp, runs off-grid on solar, and is assembled in Broomfield, Colorado with roughly 80% of component value sourced in the US.
In May 2026 we launched PowerSled, the same battery and propulsion-assist architecture in a
commercial platform: up to 240 kWh usable, 38 kW of continuous 240VAC output, 8,500 lbs of payload, under 12,000 lbs GVWR. It supplements diesel generators and inert cargo trailers for commercial and defense uses, and serves as a platform for other vehicle manufacturers to build on.
Two businesses, one foundation. A consumer brand people fall in love with, and a commercial platform that turns the same engineering into fleet revenue. We are scaling production to match demand and we sell direct to our customers.
Reporting to the Chief Commercial Officer and Co-Founder, you’ll own marketing at Lightship: the strategy, the team, and the numbers. You will set a marketing strategy that drives fast brand exposure and measurable sales ROI, and hold it steady as a North Star while the weekly and monthly realities of a growth-stage hardware company shift under it. This is a builder’s seat.
This role is based in either of our offices: Broomfield, CO or South San Francisco, CA. We expect frequent in-office presence (3-5 days per week). This is a hardware company, and the best marketing ideas here come from standing next to the product: walking the build floor, sitting in a trailer, talking to the engineers who built it. Expect periodic travel between the Bay Area and Colorado, plus owner events, shows, and shoots (estimating up to 25% travel).
Lightship offers all of its full time employees and their dependents full benefits including health, dental and vision insurance. We are on a mission to create a more healthful all-electric experience for a pastime that millions of families enjoy and believe strongly that our team should not have to worry about quality healthcare for themselves or their loved ones along the way.
Lightship is an early-stage hardware startup launched in 2020 by Tesla alumni that is bringing the $26B recreational vehicle industry into the electric age. Based in San Francisco and Broomfield, Colorado, Lightship is designing and producing an aerodynamic, battery-powered trailer that liberates travelers from the noise, emissions, and range anxiety of gas RVing.
