Sr. Technical Quality Engineering Specialist (Advanced Vehicle Electronics)

About the Role Assuring the quality of a premium electric vehicle begins long before Start of Production, and this role exists to guarantee the performance of advanced vehicle electronics throughout product development, validation, launch, and production. As a Sr. Technical Quality Engineering Specialist (Advanced Vehicle Electronics), you will embed quality engineering discipline from early design through production—applying core quality tools, leading root-cause investigations, and partnering across engineering, manufacturing, and suppliers to resolve issues before they reach the customer. What You'll Do

• Early Engineering & DFM: Evaluate new components and systems for manufacturability and assembly feasibility, provide DFM input during concept, prototype, and design-freeze phases, and participate in design reviews to embed quality, lessons learned, and risk mitigation early.
• Quality Tools & Engineering Analysis: Apply core quality methods including APQP, PPAP, FMEA, Control Plans, MSA, and SPC, and lead or support DFMEA and PFMEA reviews using structured problem-solving (8D, 5-Why, Ishikawa) to drive root cause and corrective action.
• Root Cause Analysis & Issue Closure: Lead cross-functional investigations across design, process, supplier, and build issues; drive containment, corrective action validation, and issue closure across program phases; and document and integrate lessons learned.
• GD&T & Dimensional Engineering: Interpret engineering drawings using GD&T standards, perform tolerance stack-ups, and resolve dimensional issues in partnership with engineering and metrology teams.
• Prototype, DV, and PV Build Support: Provide on-site quality support across all build phases—identifying defects, tracking issues, ensuring corrective actions, and validating design intent, part readiness, and process capability.
• Manufacturing & Supplier Quality Collaboration: Partner with manufacturing to confirm process capability and stability, support supplier PPAPs, incoming quality issues, and technical reviews, and participate in audits, line walks, and containment activities. What We're Looking For
• Required: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 8+ years of automotive quality or engineering experience.
• Experience supporting advanced vehicle electronics, including ECUs, sensors, wiring harnesses, connectors, displays, control modules, low-voltage power distribution, and related electrical/electronic vehicle systems.
• Strong understanding of GD&T, engineering drawings, and tolerance analysis.
• Hands-on experience with APQP, PPAP, FMEA, SPC, and core quality tools.
• Prototype, DV, and PV build support experience.
• Proven root cause and issue-closure capability.
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Ability to read, write, speak, and understand English sufficiently to perform the essential duties of the position, including understanding work instructions, safety procedures, and job-related communications.
• Preferred: Premium automotive electrical/electronic quality experience. Familiarity with automotive electronics validation standards (e.g., ISO 26262 functional safety, EMC/ESD requirements). EV industry experience. Nice to Have
• (Preferred) Experience with advanced vehicle electronics validation and safety standards.
• (Preferred) Experience in fast-paced automotive environment and supplier-facing roles. Compensation & Benefits Lucid offers a comprehensive and competitive benefits package.
