Sr. Technical Quality Engineering Specialist (L8) About Lucid Motors Lucid Motors is redefining luxury mobility through advanced electric vehicle technology, uncompromising quality, and world‑class manufacturing. As Lucid develops and launches complex vehicle systems at scale, disciplined technical quality execution is essential to preventing risk, validating design intent, and ensuring robust performance across the product lifecycle. Role Summary As Sr.Technical Quality Engineering Specialist, you will ensure Lucid vehicle systems, components, and manufacturing processes meet world‑class standards for safety, reliability, and customer satisfaction. This role spans early design and DFM through prototype builds, DV/PV validation, launch support, and continuous improvement. You will combine upstream product quality planning and risk prevention with hands‑on technical quality execution, working cross‑functionally with Engineering, Manufacturing, Supplier Quality, Program Management, Test Validation, and Field Quality to identify risk early, validate controls, and drive disciplined issue closure. YOU WILL Upstream Product Quality Risk Prevention Define and drive product quality and reliability requirements during concept, architecture, and design phases. Proactively identify design‑ and system‑level risks and drive mitigation plans prior to design freeze and tooling commitment. Support program quality gates by ensuring risks, evidence, and readiness criteria are met, including quality planning and validation readiness. Technical Quality Engineering Execution Evaluate new components and systems for manufacturability and assembly feasibility, providing DFM/DFA input during concept, prototype, and design freeze phases. Provide hands‑on quality engineering support during prototype, DV, PV, and launch builds, identifying defects, tracking issues, and ensuring corrective actions. Validate design intent, part readiness, and process capability through build‑phase learning and verification. Quality Tools, Engineering Analysis Dimensional Ownership Apply core quality tools including APQP, PPAP, DFMEA/PFMEA, Control Plans, MSA, and SPC to evaluate risk and confirm robustness. Interpret engineering drawings using GDT and perform tolerance stack‑ups; partner with engineering and metrology teams to resolve dimensional issues. Analyze performance metrics, test results, and build data to identify trends, prioritize issues, and drive corrective action focus. Root Cause, Containment Systemic Closure Lead cross‑functional investigations for design, process, supplier, and build issues using structured problem‑solving methodologies (e.g., 8D, 5‑Why, Ishikawa). Drive containment actions, verify corrective actions, and ensure recurrence prevention across program phases. Document lessons learned and ensure feedback into engineering standards and future programs. Supplier Manufacturing Collaboration Support supplier readiness through technical reviews, PPAP support, incoming quality issue resolution, audits, and containment activit ...
