• Collaborate cross-functionally with Design Engineering, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain to ensure supplier readiness and alignment with product requirements.
• Drive supplier selection and qualification strategies, ensuring alignment with Lucid’s technical and timeline expectations.
• Oversee APQP deliverables, PPAP submissions, and quality planning activities across commodities.
• Support early design reviews and DFM discussions, incorporating lessons learned and driving manufacturability improvements.
• Lead root cause analysis and corrective action efforts for supplier quality issues, ensuring containment and long-term resolution.
• Conduct supplier audits and process assessments, identifying risks and driving improvement initiatives.
• Monitor supplier performance metrics and lead continuous improvement efforts across the supply base.
• Manage change control activities related to supplier components, ensuring traceability and alignment with engineering updates.
• Travel up to 30% globally to support supplier development and issue resolution.

You Bring:

• 5+ years of professional experience in Supplier Quality Engineering, with extensive exposure to Powertrain and Electrical/Electronics commodities.
• At least 2 years of formal experience managing direct reports in a technical or quality function.
• Strong working knowledge of GD&T, tolerance analysis, and inspection methods for molded and assembled components.
• Familiarity with statistical tools such as SPC, MSA, DOE, and capability analysis.
• Experience with APQP, PPAP, and quality systems (e.g., IATF 16949, IPC-A-610, ISO 16750).
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, schematics, and specifications.
• Exposure to SMT manufacturing, PCB/PCBA testing methods (ICT, Flying Probe, FCT), and low/high voltage components.
• Strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint; experience with Smartsheets, Minitab, JIRA, or Tableau is a plus.
• Language skills in Chinese or Vietnamese are a plus.

Additional Compensation and Benefits: Lucid offers a wide range of competitive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability insurance, vacation, and 401k.
