  • Collaborative Development and Stakeholder Engagement: 
  • Work closely with UX designers to ensure seamless integration of technologies that delight customers with intuitive ease and emotional appeal, with a razor-sharp focus on incremental value vs. incremental lifecycle cost.

  • Serve as the primary point of contact between engineering, UX, marketing, and other stakeholders to ensure alignment and project success. 
  • Gather insights and feedback from internal and external stakeholders, integrating them into product development processes. 
  • Market Analysis, Market Research, and Innovation:

  • Clear aptitude in balancing conflicting needs such as feature-benefits vs development expense vs capital investment vs product cost vs time to market. 
  • Significant knowledge of vehicle lighting, vision, and sensing technologies—or a strong track record of rapid onboarding in analogous technical fields. 
  • Extremely refined communication skills with the ability to bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders.  Experienced at persuasively presenting to upper management with targeted messaging, even when under uncomfortable pressure. 

Advantageous: 

  • Proven track record of deriving deep insights from a mixture of qualitative and quantitative user experience research, including uncovering future opportunities where companies could carve out unique value for customers. 
  • Very well-developed sense for visual aesthetics, user experience, and how to generate targeted customer emotional responses that could enhance Lucid’s differentiation. 
  • Demonstrated understanding of mechanical engineering, plastic injection molding and related manufacturing processes, materials properties, electromechanical packaging, and optical technologies. 
  • Instinctive mentor and change management agent who continually elevates the skills and capabilities of others.

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.
