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.

It goes without saying that University Racing teams (FSAE/BajaSAE, FSAE Electric) have provided you with a practical application for your education. Beyond that, maybe you’ve even found a sense of career purpose and an extended family. You’ve faced challenges that couldn’t be overcome without a team to support you. You’ve acquired skills that the classroom could never duplicate. You’ve competed and strived for greatness.

• Proven problem solving and communication skills, excellent numeracy, and spatial awareness.

• Desire a candidate who is assertive, self-motivated and can work with minimal direction.

• Enjoys working with Cross-Functional teams.

Bonus Points:

• Conversant with current and forthcoming vehicle architectures and system technologies and the tradeoffs between cost and weight.

• Demonstrated ability in developing and designing weight solutions. You must be able to work constructively with design engineers to create weight reduction proposals.
