About Lucid
At Lucid, we are creating exceptional mobility experiences through innovation to drive the world forward. 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.
We 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.
About the Role
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.
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.
Key Responsibilities
- 3DEXPERIENCE Platform Architecture & Evolution
- Lead technical workstreams for major enterprise platform upgrades (e.g., 3DEXPERIENCE 2026x), defining validation scenarios, managing lower environments, and resolving blocked actions.
- Architect and maintain default enterprise workspace structures, ENOVIA dashboard frameworks, and SWYM community access models.
- Partner 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.
- CAD Methods, Tooling & Start Part Standardization
- Own 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).
- Develop 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.
- Define and automate Digital Mock-Up (DMU) clash analysis and space-claim verification using configuration-driven vehicle packaging tools.
