Powertrain Robotics Engineer - Launch & Automation (EV)

Lucid Motors Middle East; Saudi Arabia; Sur place; SAR 300 000 - 450 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Lucid Motors in Saudi Arabia is seeking a Powertrain Robotics Engineer to join during facility launch, supporting FANUC, ABB, and KUKA cells from first commissioning through ramp. You will help optimize robot uptime, cycle times, and safety compliance across HV powertrain systems.

The role requires hands-on programming, offline simulation, and lifecycle optimization, with a strong focus on safety, technical documentation, and cross‑functional collaboration in a greenfield EV launch environment.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics, Electrical, or Robotics Engineering.
• 3+ years in industrial robotics.
• Fluent in English; Arabic strongly preferred.

Responsabilités

• Robot Integration, Commissioning, Teaching & Programming for FANUC, ABB, and KUKA.
• Support offline programming and simulation activities
• Maintain and optimize the robots to maximize the throughput throughout the life-cycle of the asset.
• Diagnose robot faults: encoder, drive, cables, controller, program issues, etc
• Support production recovery events including robot resynchronization and program restoration
• Conduct structured RCA for repeating robot failures
• Support end‑of‑arm tooling design reviews, integration, and change management
• Troubleshoot EOAT issues etc
• Support robot safety validation activities
• Ensure safety configurations, light curtains, and interlocks are maintained and validated
• Enforce HV LOTO, HVIL continuity, and mandatory HV PPE for all work on or near EV Powertrain equipment
• Comply with SASO, IEC 60204, and functional safety standards (ISO 13849 / IEC 62061)
• Support HV emergency response including thermal runaway isolation and battery‑related incident procedures
• Achieve and maintain HV safety competency appropriate to scope of work
• Support AMP‑2 Safe Launch activities, run‑at‑rate events, and capacity verification within scope
• Contribute to Launch Readiness Reviews, Layered Process Audits, and Process Confirmation routines
• Participate in QRQC / RCCA escalations during launch and ramp‑up phases
• Develop maintainable robot programs, frames, TCPs, payload data, zones, mastering, backups and recovery standards; validate path accuracy and cycle repeatability.
• Integrate EOAT, vision, conveyors, safety PLC handshakes, process equipment and MES/traceability signals; confirm failure‑mode recovery and restart behavior.
• Execute reach, collision, singularity and cycle‑time studies using RoboGuide, RobotStudio or KUKA.Sim and verify results on equipment.
• Maintain controlled robot/EOAT backups, revision history, spare strategy and preventive‑maintenance inputs.
• Control production, process, software and test changes through documented risk assessment, approvals, validation, revision history and rollback or containment planning.
• Participate in readiness reviews, Layered Process Audits, Process Confirmation and QRQC/RCCA; close assigned actions with verified effectiveness.
• Apply role‑specific HV LOTO/HVIL, machine safety, stored‑energy isolation, electrical safe‑work and PPE requirements; never bypass safety devices or product protections.
• Protect product genealogy, calibrated‑tool status, test/measurement integrity, document control and audit‑ready objective evidence.
• Comply with applicable AMP‑2, SASO, Saudi labor/EHS, IATF 16949, IEC 60204 and functional‑safety requirements within assigned scope.
• Build Saudi national capability through structured OJT, skills matrices, practical assessment, certification, cross‑training and documented knowledge transfer.
• Create technical standards, troubleshooting guides and training material
• Collaborate across Production, Quality, Maintenance, Automation/Robotics, Manufacturing Engineering, EHS, IT/OT, MES, Supply Chain, Product Engineering and suppliers.
