Job Title: Shipping and Receiving Clerk

Department: Procurement

Employment Type: Full-Time

Location: Houston, TX

Who We Are

Persona AI is building humanoid robots for the most demanding environments in heavy industry — shipyards, steel mills, fabrication facilities, and offshore platforms — performing welding, grinding, maintenance, inspection, and material-handling work that is dangerous, physically demanding, and increasingly difficult to staff.

We are backed by leading strategic and financial investors and engaged with global industrial leaders across Korea, Japan, the United States, and Singapore. Korea is the center of gravity for our early commercial strategy, anchored by relationships with the world’s leading shipbuilders and steelmakers. Our work spans both the robot platform itself and the systems, partners, and playbooks required to deploy it at scale.

Why Join Persona AI?

• We offer competitive compensation, a performance-based bonus, 99% employer covered medical benefits, early-stage equity, competitive PTO, and a company-wide paid winter break between December 24th and January 2nd.

• You’ll shape technology that’s redefining the possibilities of robotics and human interaction.

• Work alongside passionate teammates who value creativity, and continuous learning.

About the Role

Persona AI is building a rugged humanoid platform to supplement the industrial skilled-labor workforce. Building and testing these robots depends on a steady, accurate flow of parts, components, tools, and equipment into and out of our Houston facility.

We are looking for a Shipping and Receiving Clerk to own that flow. You will receive and inspect incoming materials, keep inventory accurate, and prepare outbound shipments — including robots, prototypes, and spare parts headed to customers and partners in the United States and abroad. Your work keeps our engineering and build teams moving and makes sure what we ship arrives safely and on time.

What You Will Be Doing

• Receive incoming shipments, verify contents against purchase orders and packing slips, and inspect for damage or discrepancies

• Log received items in our inventory or ERP system and route them promptly to the right engineering, build, or test team

• Pick, pack, crate, and label outbound shipments, including high-value robot assemblies, prototypes, and spare parts

• Prepare shipping documentation such as bills of lading, packing lists, commercial invoices, and export paperwork for international shipments
