The opportunity

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.

What you'll do

  • Powertrain Investigations: Lead complex field quality investigations involving electric drive units, traction motors, inverters, gearboxes, high-voltage interfaces, embedded controls, lubrication systems, cooling interfaces, and related vehicle systems, ensuring validated root causes and clear technical conclusions.

  • Root Cause Governance: Set the technical standard for evidence-based root cause analysis and determine when investigation conclusions, test results, or corrective action plans are complete enough to support closure.

  • Corrective Action Strategy: Define and drive permanent corrective and preventive actions across design, software, calibration, manufacturing, supplier quality, diagnostics, and service, ensuring interim containment does not replace long-term resolution.

  • Fleet Risk Prioritization: Use warranty claims, diagnostic data, telematics, vehicle logs, service repairs, parts returns, and customer feedback to identify emerging issues, quantify fleet exposure, and determine escalation priorities.

  • Validation Planning: Establish validation plans, acceptance criteria, test conditions, sample requirements, and monitoring periods that confirm corrective actions are effective and reduce recurrence.

  • Cross-Functional Alignment: Lead technical reviews with engineering, manufacturing, supplier quality, service, diagnostics, software, controls, calibration, and leadership teams to align decisions and remove barriers to resolution.

What they're looking for

  • Field Learning Integration: Convert field findings into improved engineering requirements, design standards, DFMEAs, DVP&R plans, manufacturing controls, diagnostic strategies, service procedures, and future program inputs.
  • years of experience in battery-electric vehicle powertrain engineering, field: quality, product quality, reliability, validation engineering, manufacturing engineering, supplier quality, or a related technical discipline.
  • BS degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Automotive: Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Experience investigating and resolving customer-facing EV powertrain concerns: using objective evidence, vehicle data, component analysis, and structured problem-solving methods.
