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.\n About the Role\n We are seeking an experienced and forward-thinking Staff CAD / PLM Engineer (Tools & Methods) to lead the architecture, standardization, and evolution of our enterprise CAD and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) ecosystem.\n In this role, you will be the technical authority defining how vehicle engineering data is created, governed, and integrated across enterprise systems. You will lead the transition to next-generation platforms (Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE), drive seamless data interfaces with SAP ERP (iPPE), author enterprise-level MCAD exchange standards, and build robust MBSE/Requirements traceability workflows from initial systems architecture down to production manufacturing deliverables.\nKey Responsibilities:\n 1. 3DEXPERIENCE Platform Architecture & Evolution\nLead technical workstreams for major enterprise platform upgrades (e.g., 3DEXPERIENCE 2026x), defining validation scenarios, managing lower environments, and resolving blocked actions.\nArchitect and maintain default enterprise workspace structures, ENOVIA dashboard frameworks, and SWYM community access models.\nPartner with enterprise IT and PLM development teams to define and refine the 3DX - SAP BOM interface (Phase 2 / iPPE), establishing single-source-of-truth data governance for engineering release timelines and revision controls.\n 2. CAD Methods, Tooling & Start Part Standardization\nOwn and standardize enterprise-wide CAD Start Parts (Sheet Metal, Plastic A-side WIP, Castings/Machining WIP), integrating standard datum schemes, Power Copies, part markings, and manufacturing info styling (GCPs, parting lines).\nDevelop advanced modeling methodologies for complex disciplines, including electrical wire harness integration (deformable/flattened models, suffix configurations) and captive fasteners (Parts-In-Assembly / PIA) with torque attributes.\nDefine and automate Digital Mock-Up (DMU) clash analysis and space-claim verification using configuration-driven vehicle packaging tools.\n 3. MCAD Data Exchange & Supplier Governance\nAuthor, maintain, and enforce enterprise MCAD Data Exchange Standards governing 3D model and 2D drawing exchange between Lucid and Tier-1/Tier-2 suppliers.\nEstablish Product Data Quality (PDQ) thresholds, geometry quality check profiles (e.g., LCQC/Q-Checker), naming conventions, and formal unit exception workflows.\n4. Requirements Management & MBSE Traceability\nDrive Functional Specification Documents (FSDs) and UAT execution for linking 3DX Requirements (TRM) to Technical Product Documentation (TPD).\nOperationalize Requirements, Functional, Logical, and Physical (RFLP) workflows and one-way synchronizations between Model-Based Systems Engineering tools (Cameo / No Magic) and 3DX.\n5. Technical Leadership, Community Enablement & Tier-3 Support\nLead the monthly 3DX Champions / Super-User Forums, presenting on tool deployments, automated drawing rollouts (LADS), and emerging AI-assisted CAD tools.\nServe as the senior escalation point (Tier-3) for complex CAD modeling bottlenecks, geometry issues, and PLM workflow blockers.\nManage and prioritize feature requests, bugs, and development backlogs in Jira (Epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria).\nQualifications & Experience\n Required:\nEducation: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical degree is required. \nExperience: 7+ years of dedicated experience in CAD/PLM systems engineering, tools & methods, or CAD quality administration within the Automotive, Aerospace, or High-Tech Manufacturing industries.\nDassault Systèmes Expertise: Deep technical proficiency in 3DEXPERIENCE (CATIA V6, ENOVIA, TRM/RFLP, DMU), including native client administration, Power Copies, and template development.\nEnterprise Integration: Direct experience with PLM-to-ERP integrations, particularly SAP iPPE (Integrated Product and Process Engineering) and engineering bill of materials (eBOM / mBOM) lifecycles.\nStandards Authoring: Proven track record authoring enterprise engineering specifications, ASME Y14.5 / ISO geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) guidelines, and MCAD supplier data protocols.\nRequirements & MBSE: Working knowledge of MBSE methodologies, Cameo/SysML modeling, and traceability to physical engineering releases.\nPreferred:\nHands-on scripting and automation capabilities (Python, EKL / Enterprise Knowledge Language, CAA, CATScript, or REST APIs).\nExperience with automated drawing generation (LADS) and AI-assisted engineering agents.\nFamiliarity with Agile / Scrum methodologies and tools (Jira, Confluence).\nMaster's degree or higher education is preferred.\nSalary Range: The compensation range for this position is specific to the locations listed below and is the range Lucid reasonably and in good faith expects to pay for the position taking into account the wide variety of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions, including job-related knowledge; skillset; experience, education and training; certifications; and other relevant business and organizational factors.\nBase Pay Range (Annual)\n$166,500—$244,200 USD\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.
