• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop and refine manufacturing processes, with a focus on improving material flow, tooling, automation integration, and ergonomics.
• Work with Product Engineering to ensure manufacturability of designs while addressing cost, quality, and throughput requirements.
• Play an active role in Powertrain line launches, ensuring equipment readiness, process stability, and production alignment to OEE and KPI targets.
• Participate in and lead problem-solving initiatives using methodologies such as 8D, Six Sigma, or root cause analysis, with a focus on reducing process variation and improving line performance.
• Contribute to continuous improvement efforts aimed at increasing efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing product quality.
• Implement and optimize control systems, including torque tools and dispensing systems, to ensure process reliability and consistency.
• Maintain and update documentation such as work instructions, control plans, and PFMEA, ensuring alignment with manufacturing standards and compliance requirements.
• Stay current on industry trends and technological advancements to enhance manufacturing processes and provide input for innovative solutions.

Key Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum of 2 to 4 years of experience in Manufacturing or Process Engineering, preferably within Powertrain or electric vehicle (EV) systems.
• Strong knowledge of manufacturing technologies, including torque tools, dispensing systems, automation, and MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) concepts.
• Experience with wire bonders and related equipment is a plus.
• Demonstrated experience supporting process improvements, driving OEE enhancements, and meeting key manufacturing KPIs in a high-volume production environment.
• Proficiency with 3D modeling software (AutoCAD, Catia, Delmia), with the ability to apply these tools to simulate and optimize manufacturing layouts and processes.
• Strong problem-solving skills, with experience applying Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or root cause analysis methodologies.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across departments and contribute to cross-functional teams.
• Organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.

Additional Compensation and Benefits: Lucid offers a wide range of competitive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability insurance, vacation, and 401k.
