About Lucid

Lucid is dedicated to creating exceptional mobility experiences through innovation. Our vehicles, such as the Lucid Air and Lucid Gravity, redefine their segments by combining exceptional range, performance, design, and space. We achieve this through deep vertical integration, with design, engineering, and production happening in-house.

The Role

We are seeking a Sr. Technical Quality Engineering Specialist (Chassis and Safety Restraints) to ensure the quality of our premium electric vehicle's chassis and safety restraint systems. This role involves embedding quality engineering discipline from early design through production, applying core quality tools, leading root-cause investigations, and partnering across engineering, manufacturing, and suppliers to resolve issues before they reach the customer.

What You'll Own

• Evaluate new components and systems for manufacturability and assembly feasibility, providing DFM input during concept, prototype, and design-freeze phases, and participating in design reviews to embed quality, lessons learned, and risk mitigation early.
• Apply core quality methods including APQP, PPAP, FMEA, Control Plans, MSA, and SPC, and lead or support DFMEA and PFMEA reviews using structured problem-solving (8D, 5-Why, Ishikawa) to drive root cause and corrective action.
• Lead cross-functional investigations across design, process, supplier, and build issues; drive containment, corrective action validation, and issue closure across program phases; and document and integrate lessons learned.
• Interpret engineering drawings using GD&T standards, perform tolerance stack-ups, and resolve dimensional issues in partnership with engineering and metrology teams.
• Provide on-site quality support across all build phases—identifying defects, tracking issues, ensuring corrective actions, and validating design intent, part readiness, and process capability.
• Partner with manufacturing to confirm process capability and stability, support supplier PPAPs, incoming quality issues, and technical reviews, and participate in audits, line walks, and containment activities.

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 8+ years of automotive quality or engineering experience.
• Experience supporting chassis and safety restraint systems, including suspension, steering, brakes, wheels/tires, subframes, seat belts, airbags, and related occupant protection components.
• Strong understanding of GD&T, engineering drawings, and tolerance analysis.
• Hands-on experience with APQP, PPAP, FMEA, SPC, and core quality tools.
• Prototype, DV, and PV build support experience.
• Proven root cause and issue-closure capability.
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Ability to read, write, speak, and understand English sufficiently to perform the essential duties of the position, including understanding work instructions, safety procedures, and job-related communications.
