Sr. Customer Quality Leader, Lucid Technologies

Newark, CA
Leading the future in luxury electric and mobility
At Lucid, we set out to introduce the most captivating, luxury electric vehicles that elevate the human experience and transcend the perceived limitations of space, performance, and intelligence. Vehicles that are intuitive, liberating, and designed for the future of mobility.
 
We plan to lead in this new era of luxury electric by returning to the fundamentals of great design – where every decision we make is in service of the individual and environment. Because when you are no longer bound by convention, you are free to define your own experience.
 
Come work alongside some of the most accomplished minds in the industry. Beyond providing competitive salaries, we’re providing a community for innovators who want to make an immediate and significant impact. If you are driven to create a better, more sustainable future, then this is the right place for you.

Lucid Technologies is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Sr. Customer Quality Leader to join our dynamic team. This role is a blend of Quality Engineering and Program Management and is critical to strengthening our technical integration, quality assurance, and process control capabilities as it relates to our external business. 

This position serves as the customer-facing counterpart to a Supplier Industrialization Engineer (SIE) at an OEM. While an SIE ensures that suppliers meet the OEM’s quality and manufacturing standards, the Customer Quality Leader ensures that Lucid’s products meet or exceed the expectations of our customers—from initial integration through production and into service. 

You will work in close collaboration with Lucid’s internal quality, engineering, and manufacturing teams to ensure alignment on quality standards, issue resolution, and continuous improvement. This role bridges external customer expectations with internal execution, ensuring that quality is embedded throughout the product lifecycle. 

Our mission is to accelerate the adoption of sustainable transportation by enabling the successful deployment of Lucid’s world-class technologies into a broader range of applications. 

Notable programs to date include the end-to-end design, development, and manufacturing of high-performance motorsport battery systems and front drive units for a premier electric racing series, as well as a strategic supply partnership with Aston Martin to deliver advanced electric powertrain technologies.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
