About the role
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. About the Team The General Assembly Manufacturing Engineering team helps Lucid launch safe, efficient, and production-ready assembly processes at scale. The team partners closely with Product Design, Quality, Operations, Maintenance, Facilities, Supply Chain, and suppliers to translate vehicle requirements into capable manufacturing processes, equipment, tooling, and documentation. This team is unique because it works across the full process lifecycle, from early design-for-manufacturing input through prototype builds, launch execution, commissioning, and operational handoff. Team members directly influence vehicle quality, throughput, ergonomics, cost, and launch readiness in one of the most integrated areas of vehicle production. About the Role The Sr. Manufacturing Engineer, General Assembly is an individual contributor role within Manufacturing Engineering and reports to a Manufacturing Engineering leader. This role exists to strengthen Lucid’s ability to take general assembly programs from concept through scalable production while improving manufacturability, process capability, equipment readiness, and launch execution. In the first 12 months, this person will own key General Assembly process-development and launch activities, including design-for-manufacturing reviews, process documentation, dimensional-control inputs, equipment readiness, issue tracking, and production handoff. Success will be measured by timely launch execution, clear closure of manufacturing risks, effective cross-functional alignment, validated process controls, and measurable improvements to quality, throughput, ergonomics, and cost. A strong candidate will gain direct ownership of high-impact launch and manufacturing decisions in an environment where engineering choices are closely connected to vehicle build quality, operator safety, and production scalability. What You Own Manufacturing Feasibility: Lead design-for-manufacturing reviews for General Assembly programs and make recommendations that improve manufacturability, quality, ergonomics, throughput, cost, and launch readiness. Process Development: Take assigned general assembly processes from concept through prototype builds, validation, manufacturing release, and production handoff. Tooling Strategy: Define equipment, tooling, fixture, conveyor, and layout requirements that support safe, repeatable, and scalable production processes. Dimensional Control: Develop and implement dimensional-control strategies that support assembly accuracy, product quality, and process capability. Launch Execution: Plan and execute manufacturing engineering launch activities, including prototype builds, installation, commissioning, issue tracking, risk mitigation, and cross-functional action-item closure. Process Documentation: Create and maintain work instructions, bills of process, PFMEAs, quality control plans, and related documentation that support safe, consistent, and production-ready execution. Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner with Design, Quality, Operations, Maintenance, Facilities, Supply Chain, suppliers, and leadership to resolve manufacturing constraints and align decisions across product, process, timing, and cost requirements. What You Bring Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related technical field. 6 years of experience developing, validating, or launching complex assembly processes. 4 year of experience in an automotive OEM, Tier 1 supplier, or comparable high-volume manufacturing environment. <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid=
