About Lucid

About Lucid At Lucid we are creating exceptional mobility experiences through innovation to drive the world forward Built on Lucid s proprietary technology and software-defined vehicle architecture our award-winning vehicles bring our Compromise Nothing approach to the global automotive market That means refusing to choose between performance and sustainability design and engineering ambition and integrity In Lucid Air and Lucid Gravity we have designed and built vehicles that have redefined their segments combining exceptional range performance design and expansive space in a single experience We achieve this through deep vertical integration with design engineering and production happening in-house across our global offices and manufacturing facilities Our teams come from industries around the world united by a shared commitment to excellence By refusing to settle you can help redefine what s possible and shape the future of mobility Position Overview The Resident Product Engineering RPE team is the plant-based engineering organization responsible for resolving product issues that impact vehicles in production This Engineering Manager role leads the RPE team supporting Body Structures Closures and Low Voltage Harness across Lucid s production vehicle programs The role exists to strengthen engineering ownership for production issue triage containment root cause analysis permanent corrective actions and cross-functional escalation management In the first 12 months success means establishing clear issue ownership improving response time to production concerns reducing repeat issues and creating a stronger feedback loop between current production future programs and core Vehicle Engineering teams What you will find here that you will not find in a comparable role elsewhere is direct influence over complete vehicle system robustness across structural closure mechanical and electrical interfaces in a fast-moving EV manufacturing environment

Key Responsibilities

• Engineering Leadership Lead the RPE organization across Body Structures Closures and LV Harness setting priorities balancing workload developing engineers and building capability for current production launch support and continuous improvement
• Product Issue Resolution Own engineering triage for production and field concerns ensuring clear problem definition risk assessment containment root cause investigation corrective action planning and effectiveness verification
• Plant Escalations Serve as the engineering escalation point for build assembly quality supplier and manufacturing disruptions making timely decisions that balance safety quality delivery cost manufacturability and customer impact
• Cross-Functional Alignment Coordinate Vehicle Engineering Manufacturing Engineering Production Quality Supplier Quality Service Supply Chain Purchasing and Program teams to align ownership timing resources and closure evidence
• Launch Readiness Support launch ramp and Safe Launch activities by ensuring production learnings are incorporated into design standards validation plans manufacturing requirements and future program readiness
• Operational Improvement Improve RPE standard work escalation forums issue management systems reporting cadence and problem-solving discipline to reduce recurrence and increase transparency

Skills

Demonstrated experience leading structured problem solving for complex product issues, including containment, root cause analysis, corrective action development and effectiveness verification. Strong working knowledge of vehicle structures, closures and/or low-voltage electrical distribution systems, with the ability to manage cross-system interfaces in a manufacturing environment.
