Sr. Field Quality Engineer, Powertrain

Engineering | 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.

Lucid’s powertrain systems are among the most advanced in the industry, and this role exists to ensure they perform flawlessly in the real world. As a Sr. Field Quality Engineer, Powertrain, you will serve as the critical link between customer‑facing field issues and the engineering teams responsible for long‑term solutions. You will investigate complex issues across High Voltage Battery, Drive Unit, Charging, High Voltage Distribution, and Thermal Systems, transforming field data into actionable insights that improve vehicle reliability and customer satisfaction.

Success in the first 12 months means reducing time‑to‑root‑cause for critical powertrain issues, improving corrective action effectiveness, and driving measurable improvements in vehicle uptime and field quality performance. What you will find here that you will not find elsewhere is direct ownership of some of the most advanced EV powertrain technologies in production today, with the opportunity to influence both immediate customer outcomes and future product development.

Lead the investigation of complex field issues involving High Voltage Battery Packs, Drive Units, Charging Systems, High Voltage Distribution, and Thermal Systems. Perform hands‑on vehicle diagnostics, data collection, signal validation, and component‑level analysis to identify failure modes.

Drive or support structured root cause investigations, differentiating between design, manufacturing, supplier, integration, and service‑related issues. Partner with engineering teams to validate solutions and confirm corrective action effectiveness.

Utilize warranty data, vehicle telemetry, diagnostics, and field reports to identify trends, prioritize emerging issues, and quantify customer impact. Monitor issue progression across vehicle configurations, model years, and production changes.

Collaborate closely with Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Diagnostics, Supplier Quality, Manufacturing Quality, and Service teams to accelerate issue resolution and improve product robustness.

Manage field quality concerns from identification through closure, including replication, documentation, severity assessment, corrective action tracking, validation, and verification activities.

Identify high‑severity and high‑frequency issues affecting customers, reduce repeat repairs and vehicle downtime, and recommend improvements to diagnostic strategies, service procedures, and repair methods.
