Built on Lucid’s proprietary technology and software-defined vehicle architecture, our award-winning vehicles bring our “Compromise Nothing™” approach to the global automotive market. That means refusing to choose between performance and sustainability, design and engineering, ambition and integrity. In Lucid Air and Lucid Gravity, we have designed and built vehicles that have redefined their segments, combining exceptional range, performance, design, and expansive space in a single experience. \nWe achieve this through deep vertical integration, with design, engineering, and production happening in-house across our global offices and manufacturing facilities. Our teams come from industries around the world, united by a shared commitment to excellence. By refusing to settle, you can help redefine what’s possible and shape the future of mobility.\nPosition Overview:\nThe Sr. Robotics Engineer plays a pivotal role in the design, development, integration, and lifecycle support of advanced robotic systems in high-throughput automotive paint operations. This position is responsible for programming and commissioning robotic painting and sealing equipment, ensuring precise application of coatings, and aligning automation capabilities with production and quality targets. The role requires collaboration with cross-functional teams including process engineering, controls, facilities, quality, and production to ensure best-in-class paint application, high reliability, and compliance with OEM and regulatory standards.\nKey Responsibilities:\nSupervise and lead a team of electrical maintenance technicians assigned to the paint shop robotics activities as fellows\nRobotic System Design and Programming \nDesign robot trajectories, flow logic, and application parameters for various painting operations (e.g., primer, basecoat, clear coat) using OEM-specific programming languages (e.g., ABB RAPID, FANUC PaintTool, Dürr EcoRPC).\nUtilize advanced simulation tools (e.g., Siemens Process Simulate, Visual Components, or RobCAD) for path generation, cycle time validation, and digital twin modeling.\nPerform paint parameter tuning (e.g., shaping air, atomizing air, fan width, bell speed, fluid delivery rate) to meet transfer efficiency and surface quality targets.\nEquipment Integration & Commissioning \nLead or support robotic cell integration with conveyors, paint mix rooms, applicators, atomizers, color changers, and environmental control systems.\nWork with OEMs (e.g., Dürr, Eisenmann, ABB, FANUC, Staubli) during design reviews, FAT (Factory Acceptance Test), SAT (Site Acceptance Test), and on-site commissioning.\nValidate robot communication with PLCs, safety systems (e.g., light curtains, emergency stops), and fieldbus protocols (e.g., ProfiNet, Ethernet/IP, DeviceNet).\nProcess Optimization & Quality Assurance \nAnalyze paint application results, including orange peel, DOI, runs, mottling, and overspray, and iteratively refine robot paths and settings.\nApply knowledge of air flow, booth balancing, and paint chemistry to ensure environmental conditions support defect-free Class A finishes.\nCollaborate with quality engineers to correlate robot performance with surface appearance metrics and participate in defect analysis (e.g., fish eyes, craters, sagging).\nControl, Safety, and Compliance \nDevelop and maintain interlock matrices, robot zone maps, safety-rated speed settings, and teach pendant protocols to meet ISO 10218, ANSI/RIA R15.06, and CE compliance.\nEnsure integration of safety PLCs and emergency response functions with robot controls.\nManage version control and backups of robot programs, I/O maps, and fault recovery scripts.\nSupport and Maintenance\nCreate and maintain robot recovery procedures and troubleshooting guides for production and maintenance teams.\nPerform downtime analysis related to robotic systems and implement corrective/preventive actions (RCAs, 5 Whys, FMEA).\nProvide support for TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) and predictive diagnostics using condition monitoring tools.\nCross-functional Project Management \nServe as the technical lead for paint automation in new model launches, capacity expansions, or system upgrades.\nCoordinate with paint material suppliers, tool vendors, and integrators to align robotic paths with part geometry and coating characteristics.\nSupport APQP, PPAP, and SOP milestones by delivering automation deliverables on time and to specification.\nDocumentation & Training \nDevelop and maintain detailed technical documentation: robots teach routines, process sheets, parameter logs, control architecture, and safety validation protocols.\nTrain maintenance technicians and production personnel on robot operation, minor programming changes, and safe handling practices.\nParticipate in internal and external audits, providing robot-related process data and conformance reports. \nSkills Technical Skills:\n\nProficiency in robotic programming environments (RAPID, KRL, PaintPro, VAL3, Teach Pendants).\nStrong understanding of paint shop operations including pretreatment, ED, primer, base coat, clear coat, ovens, and flash-off zones.\nFamiliarity with paint delivery systems (e.g., gear pumps, bell atomizers, paint mix rooms, color changers).\nProficient in reading and developing electrical schematics, robot cell layouts, pneumatic diagrams, and safety zoning plans.\nSoft Skills:\nStrong analytical thinking and a structured approach to problem-solving.\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills.\nAbility to work under pressure in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.\nProactive team player with a commitment to continuous improvement and innovation.\nPreferred Certifications and Skills:\nABB IRC5 or FANUC Paint Robot certification.\nSix Sigma Green Belt / Lean Manufacturing certified.\nFamiliarity with MES integration, traceability systems, and industrial cybersecurity practices.\nKnowledge of ISO 9001, IATF 16949, ISO 14001, and OSHA safety standards.\nSoft Skills: \nStrong leadership, communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills. Ability to work under pressure and lead during emergencies or breakdowns. \nMinimum Qualifications:\nBachelor’s degree in Mechatronics, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Automation Engineering.\nMaster’s degree preferred or equivalent professional certifications in robotic automation.\n5+ years of hands-on experience with industrial robots in an automotive paint shop or OEM/Tier 1 environment.\nProven track record in commissioning and sustaining high-throughput robotic paint applications.\nDirect experience with leading robot platforms\nElectrical safety certifications and training (NFPA 70E, OSHA standards, etc.) is preferred. \nCompensation& Benefits: Lucid offers a comprehensive and competitive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision insurance; life and disability coverage; paid time off; paid holidays, paid sick leave; and a 401(k) retirement plan.
