Sr. Technical Quality Engineering Specialist

Quality | Phoenix, AZ | Full-Time

At Lucid, we are creating an electric future without compromise. That means refusing to choose between performance and sustainability, design and engineering, ambition and integrity. We build world-class vehicles by pushing performance, efficiency, and design beyond industry limits, setting new standards with vehicles like Lucid Air and Lucid Gravity.

The people here—engineers, designers, operators, and builders—came from across industries and around the world because they wanted to work on a harder problem. They care deeply about mastering their craft and delivering work they're proud of. We trust you to take ownership, push beyond what is expected, and help write the playbook for what comes next.

By refusing to settle, you help shape the future of electric mobility and prove what's possible when craft and ambition refuse to compromise each other.

Assuring the quality of a premium electric vehicle begins long before Start of Production, and this role exists to guarantee the performance of advanced vehicle electronics throughout product development, validation, launch, and production. As a Sr. Technical Quality Engineering Specialist (Advanced Vehicle Electronics), you will embed quality engineering discipline from early design through production—applying core quality tools, leading root-cause investigations, and partnering across engineering, manufacturing, and suppliers to resolve issues before they reach the customer.

Success in the first 12 months means integrating quality requirements into advanced electronics designs early, closing cross-functional issues across prototype, DV, and PV builds, and confirming component readiness and process capability so electrical and electronic systems perform reliably at launch.

Early Engineering & DFM:
Evaluate new components and systems for manufacturability and assembly feasibility, provide DFM input during concept, prototype, and design-freeze phases, and participate in design reviews to embed quality, lessons learned, and risk mitigation early.

Quality Tools & Engineering Analysis:
Apply core quality methods including APQP, PPAP, FMEA, Control Plans, MSA, and SPC, and lead or support DFMEA and PFMEA reviews using structured problem-solving (8D, 5-Why, Ishikawa) to drive root cause and corrective action.

Root Cause Analysis & Issue Closure:
Lead cross-functional investigations across design, process, supplier, and build issues; drive containment, corrective action validation, and issue closure across program phases; and document and integrate lessons learned.

GD&T & Dimensional Engineering:
Interpret engineering drawings using GD&T standards, perform tolerance stack-ups, and resolve dimensional issues in partnership with engineering and metrology teams.

Prototype, DV, and PV Build Support:
Provide on-site quality support across all build phases—identifying defects, tracking issues, ensuring corrective actions, and validating design intent, part readiness, and process capability.

Manufacturing & Supplier Quality

Collaboration:

Partner with manufacturing to confirm process capability and stability, support supplier PPAPs, incoming quality issues, and technical reviews, and participate in audits, line walks, and containment activities.

Required:

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical discipline. 8+ years of automotive quality or engineering experience. Experience supporting advanced vehicle electronics, including ECUs, sensors, wiring harnesses, connectors, displays, control modules, low-voltage power distribution, and related electrical/electronic vehicle systems. Strong understanding of GD&T, engineering drawings, and tolerance analysis. Hands-on experience with APQP, PPAP, FMEA, SPC, and core quality tools.

Prototype, DV, and PV build support experience. Proven root cause and issue-closure capability. Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills. Ability to read, write, speak, and understand English sufficiently to perform the essential duties of the position, including understanding work instructions, safety procedures, and job-related communications.

Preferred:
Premium automotive electrical/electronic quality experience. Familiarity with automotive electronics validation standards (e.g., ISO 26262 functional safety, EMC/ESD requirements). EV industry experience.
