Sr. Dimensional Engineer

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. The Sr. Dimensional Engineer leads dimensional Quality engineering activities for vehicle launch and series production at Lucid Motors. This role is responsible for dimensional strategy, critical characteristic deployment, dimensional validation, vehicle build correlation, launch readiness assessments, and root cause investigations across Stamping, Body-in-White (BIW), Closures, and Vehicle Assembly. The Sr. Dimensional Engineer converts measurement and metrology data into actionable manufacturing improvements and partners with Manufacturing, Product Engineering, Supplier Quality, Tooling, and Metrology teams to achieve dimensional maturity, process capability, and customer-perceived Quality targets. Key Responsibilities • Lead the AMP-2 dimensional Quality strategy and deploy critical product and process characteristics across vehicle programs and manufacturing areas. • Drive dimensional maturity reviews, vehicle build correlation, launch readiness validation, safe launch activities, and dimensional process sign-off. • Review engineering drawings, GD&T, datum strategies, tolerance schemes, assembly interfaces, special characteristics, and measurement requirements for manufacturing feasibility and inspection readiness. • Lead root cause investigations for gap, flush, fit, alignment, geometry, sealing, closure effort, and dimensional variation concerns affecting build Quality or customer perception. • Analyze ScanBox, eCube, CMM, optical scanning, fixture, and manual measurement data to identify sources of variation and define corrective actions. • Develop and maintain dimensional Control Plans, measurement strategies, reaction plans, inspection standards, and reporting methods for launch and production. • Evaluate engineering changes affecting dimensional characteristics and develop actions to mitigate associated risks. • Lead Measurement System Analysis (MSA), correlation studies, capability studies, and SPC monitoring for critical dimensional characteristics. • Support APQP, PPAP, engineering changes, trial builds, process validation, and new-part introduction activities requiring dimensional approval. • Partner with Manufacturing, Product Engineering, Supplier Quality, Tooling, and Metrology teams to eliminate variation and improve process capability. • Lead containment, suspect population definition, product disposition support, corrective action verification, and recurrence monitoring for dimensional nonconformities. • Develop dimensional issue summaries, trend reports, defect maps, build-correlation reports, lessons learned, and management escalations. • Coach dimensional engineers, metrology programmers, eCube specialists, and technicians on GD&T, measurement methods, data interpretation, and structured problem solving. • Support continuous improvement and digitalization of dimensional data collection, visualization, traceability, and closed-loop feedback to manufacturing. Skills • Expert knowledge of GD&T, datum structures, tolerance stack-up analysis, variation management, dimensional control strategies, and automotive body geometry. • Strong experience with CMM, ScanBox, eCube or inline measurement systems, laser or optical scanning, checking fixtures, and dimensional analysis software. • Advanced understanding of Stamping, BIW, Closures, hemming, marriage, and Vehicle Assembly processes. • Strong knowledge of APQP, PPAP, PFMEA, Control Plans, MSA, SPC, Cp/Cpk, layered process audits, and structured problem-solving methods. • Ability to correlate dimensional data with tooling, fixture, joining, process, and vehicle-build conditions and translate findings into clear corrective actions. • Strong dimensional analysis, data visualization, technical reporting, and presentation skills. • Excellent cross-functional communication, influencing, coaching, and problem-solving skills. • Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications and familiarity with PLM, MES, digital traceability systems, and metrology databases. Minimum Qualifications • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related engineering discipline. • 5-8 years of experience in automotive dimensional engineering, metrology, body engineering, or a related discipline. • Experience leading dimensional investigations, vehicle build correlation, launch validation, and dimensional maturity activities within an automotive OEM or Tier 1 environment. • Hands-on experience with GD&T, CMM, metrology, dimensional fixtures, MSA, SPC, and capability analysis. • Ability to work on the manufacturing floor, support launch and production priorities, and communicate complex dimensional issues across organizational levels. Preferred Qualifications • Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related discipline. • Experience supporting a greenfield plant, new vehicle launch, or high-volume production ramp-up. • Automotive Body, Closures, Stamping, Tooling, or Vehicle Assembly experience.
