Sr. Design Engineer, Wire Harness

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. The Resident Launch Engineer is the plant-based engineering organization responsible for resolving product issues that impact vehicles in production. This Sr. Engineering role will be supporting Low Voltage Harness, across Lucid’s launch and production vehicle programs. The role exists to strengthen engineering ownership for launch and 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. What You'll Own Senior Engineering: Support the VHE organization across LV Harness, while balancing workloads and building capabilities 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. Skills: Demonstrated experience leading structured problem - solving efforts for complex product issues, including containment, root cause analysis, corrective action development , and effectiveness of verification. Knowledge of LV harness routing and packaging , automotive c onnection systems , and harness components (e.g., clips, coverings, and grommets). Strong working knowledge of low-voltage electrical distribution systems, with the ability to manage cross-system interfaces in a manufacturing environment. Demonstrated experience efficiently managing escalations and competing priorities among plant functions . Knowledge of failure-mode management tools used throughout the product and process development lifecycle, including DFMEA, DVP&R, DFM, DFA, PFMEA, and Control Plans. Exceptional communication and documentation skills . Ability to develop processes, tools, and standards that enable efficient use of team resources within a predefined scope and support effective cross-functional engagement. Knowledge of APQP, PPAP, Safe Launch, VMEA/FMEA, 8D, PPS, or similar structured problem-solving and quality methods.
