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.

We're looking for a Staff Mechanical Engineer with structural, thermal, and / or electrical design experience to join our battery team. If you're the kind of person who sees a problem, develops a solution, and engineers an improvement no one's asked for yet, then we want to talk with you!

As a Staff Mechanical Engineer, you will help support state-of-the-art electric vehicle battery systems through design improvements & cost optimization initiatives, root cause corrective action, sustaining activities, as well as proposing new design concepts to evolve the design into its next generation. Our ideal candidate exhibits a can-do attitude and approaches his or her work with vigor and determination.

If you're an engineer who thrives on innovation, problem-solving, and teamwork, we'd love to have you on our team!
