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 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.
The 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 vehicle programs from concept through scalable production while improving assembly quality, process capability, equipment readiness, and manufacturability. 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.
This role is fully onsite at Newark, CA. Daily in-person presence is required.
