Lucid’s Material Planning team plays a critical role in keeping manufacturing operations aligned to production demand, supplier readiness, inventory health, and customer delivery expectations. The team partners closely with Purchasing, NPI, Engineering, Manufacturing, Supplier Quality, and Logistics to ensure the right materials are available at the right time across a complex supply base. What makes this team unique is the scale and pace of its work, supporting thousands of parts and hundreds of suppliers while using data-driven planning, cross-functional problem solving, and supplier engagement to protect production continuity.

The Material Planner is an experienced individual contributor role within Lucid’s manufacturing organization and reports to a supply chain or material planning leader. This role exists to strengthen production readiness by improving supply planning, supplier communication, inventory visibility, and material issue resolution across a high-volume manufacturing environment. In the first 12 months, this person will own material coverage for assigned commodities or suppliers, improve clear-to-build visibility, support shortage mitigation, and help reduce disruptions tied to supplier constraints, lead times, and inventory gaps.

Success will be measured through reliable material availability, improved OTIF performance, timely escalation of risks, accurateplanning inputs, and stronger cross-functional alignment. A strong candidate will gain hands‑on ownership of planning decisions in an advanced EV manufacturing environment, working at the intersection of supplier operations, production execution, and new product readiness at meaningful scale.

• Supply Planning: Develop and communicate material requirements to Lucid’s supplier base through MRP to support production, inventory, and cost objectives.
• Supplier Execution: Own day-to-day supplier follow‑up for assigned parts and maketimelyescalation decisions to protect delivery commitments and production continuity.
• Material Readiness: Provide clear-to-build status, material coverage analysis, run-out reporting, and risk visibility so manufacturing and business teams can make informed decisions.
• Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner with Purchasing, NPI, Engineering, Manufacturing, Supplier Quality, and Logistics to resolve material constraints and align supply plans to operational priorities.
• Inventory Optimization: Manage planning parameters and inventory signals to balance service levels, cost, excess inventory, and obsolescence risk.
• Scenario Planning: Use data, what‑if analysis, and planning models to recommend actions when demand, supplier performance, or production schedules change.
• Continuous Improvement: Lead or support projects that improve…
