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.

About the Role

As a Senior Product Designer, you will own the design of key product areas across Lucid’s connected vehicle ecosystem, shaping how people interact with their vehicle every day, both in the car and on their phone.

We are looking for a talented product designer with strong craft, product thinking, and attention to detail. Automotive experience is not required. What matters most is your ability to solve complex problems, design intuitive and elegant experiences, and deliver high-quality work from concept through launch.

You will work closely with design leadership, product managers, UX researchers, and software and hardware engineers to bring cohesive, refined experiences to life.

Why Lucid

We believe the future of luxury is defined by experience. The best products do not just look premium. They feel seamless, intuitive, and thoughtfully designed at every touchpoint. That is the standard we hold ourselves to.

If you care about the kind of craft that makes complex technology feel effortless and human, this is the team for you. As a designer here, you will work on products people interact with every day, solving complex problems across software, hardware, and connected services. The team is small, the problems are real, and the bar for craft is high. If you want your work to define what a modern ownership experience feels like, this is the place.
