Lucid's Body Structures & Closures (BS&C) organization is seeking a Sr.Technical Program Manager (SET Lead, Closures Systems) to deliver complex vehicle programs from concept through production. This role leads Simultaneous Engineering Teams (SETs) executing closures systems content, including dynamic seals, mechanisms, hinges, latches, closures trim, plugs, and grommets, with full accountability for cost, quality, timing, mass, and manufacturability.

This is a senior, hands‑on program leadership role for an experienced automotive TPM with strong closures systems technical depth, executive‑level communication skills, and the ability to drive disciplined execution in a fast‑paced environment.

• Lead BS&C SETs across all program phases: concept, architecture, design, industrialization, launch, and post-SOP.
• Own integrated program plans, critical path, milestones, and risk mitigation for closures systems content.
• Drive execution to aggressive cost, timing, quality, and mass targets.
• Lead program forums and SET reviews to align on design maturity, part readiness, tooling status, and build events.
• Own engineering change management, clearly controlling scope, cost, and timing impacts.

• Partner with Vehicle Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Supply Chain, NPI, Quality, and Operations to ensure end-to-end delivery.
• Ensure early and continuous manufacturability alignment, including tooling, industrialization, and launch readiness.
• Serve as the single point of accountability for BS&C closures systems program status, risks, and recovery plans.

• Provide technical leadership across closures systems content, including:
• Dynamic and static sealing systems
• Closure mechanisms, latches, strikers, and hinges
• Injection‑molded and blow‑molded plastic components
• Closures trim and interior/exterior interface components
• Plugs, grommets, and secondary sealing features
• Challenge technical and program assumptions to drive optimized outcomes.
• Ensure design and release timing supports downstream manufacturing and build execution.

• Represent BS&C in program gateways and executive reviews, clearly communicating status, risks, and trade‑offs.
• Establish and continuously improve program management cadence, tools, and metrics.

• Drive a culture of ownership, accountability, and technical excellence.
• Mentor TPMs and SET leaders within the BS&C organization.

• Proven ability to independently start and lead complex automotive programs.
