Manufacturing Engineer I

The General Assembly Manufacturing Engineering team helps Lucid launch safe efficient and production-ready assembly processes at scale. The team partners closely with Product Design Quality Operations Maintenance Facilities Supply Chain and suppliers to translate vehicle requirements into capable manufacturing processes equipment tooling and documentation. This team is unique because it works across the full process lifecycle from early design-for-manufacturing input through prototype builds launch execution commissioning and operational handoff. Team members directly influence vehicle quality throughput ergonomics cost and launch readiness in one of the most integrated areas of vehicle production.

The Manufacturing Engineer General Assembly is an individual contributor role within Manufacturing Engineering and reports to a Manufacturing Engineering leader. This role exists to strengthen Lucids ability to take vehicle programs from concept through scalable production while improving assembly quality process capability equipment readiness and the first 12 months this person will own key General Assembly process-development and launch activities including design-for-manufacturing reviews process documentation dimensional-control inputs equipment readiness issue tracking and production handoff. Success will be measured by timely launch execution clear closure of manufacturing risks effective cross-functional alignment validated process controls and measurable improvements to quality throughput ergonomics and cost. A strong candidate will gain direct ownership of high-impact launch and manufacturing decisions in an environment where engineering choices are closely connected to vehicle build quality operator safety and production scalability.
