As the Sr. Manufacturing Engineer for Stators, you will lead the development, commissioning, and optimization of stator manufacturing and assembly processes for electric drive units. This role is critical to ensuring stator build quality, process capability, and readiness for high‑volume production, supporting Lucid’s performance, efficiency, and reliability standards.
You will:
- Lead the setup, commissioning, and optimization of stator manufacturing and assembly processes, including winding, insulation, impregnation, curing, and final assembly
- Develop and validate stator manufacturing process flows, equipment specifications, and control plans to meet quality, throughput, and cost targets
- Collaborate with Product Engineering and Design teams to ensure stator designs are manufacturable and robust for high‑volume production
- Own process development activities including PFMEA, control plans, work instructions, and standard operating procedures for stator manufacturing
- Diagnose manufacturing issues related to stator build quality, electrical performance, and mechanical integrity, and drive root cause and corrective actions
- Support process capability studies, yield improvement initiatives, and continuous improvement efforts across stator manufacturing lines
- Integrate stator processes with upstream and downstream drive unit assembly operations and line automation
- Conduct cycle time studies, line balancing, and layout engineering to optimize stator production efficiency
- Support FAT, TTO, and MRD milestones for stator manufacturing equipment and production launches
- Partner with maintenance, quality, operations and reliability engineering teams to sustain stator manufacturing equipment and improve uptime
- Maintain documentation for process parameters, equipment settings, validation records, and production data
- Interface with Product Engineering, NPI, Quality, Logistics, Automation, and Facilities teams to support stator manufacturing readiness
- Participate in CAPEX planning and execution for stator manufacturing equipment and infrastructure
- Engage in weekly syncs and program reviews to align on quality, supplier readiness, and launch status
You bring:
- Bachelor's degree in engineering, STEM, or a related field
- 5+ years of experience in electric motor, stator, or powertrain manufacturing engineering
- Hands‑on experience with stator manufacturing processes such as winding, insulation, impregnation, curing, or related motor component assembly
- Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills using structured methodologies (8D, Six Sigma, DOE)
- Experience supporting production launches, automation including MES/SAP, and manufacturing equipment commissioning
- Ability to travel up to 35% of the time
