The team combines target setting, detailed engineering analysis, models, measurements, and cross-functional issue leadership to prevent performance creep. It partners with every major vehicle system and program team from architecture through launch. Its work helps Lucid deliver class-leading efficiency without compromising performance, comfort, or capability.  About the Role  As a Job Level 7 Mass Engineer, you will independently own defined mass tracking, correlation, and optimization workstreams for current and future vehicle programs. Reporting to a Manager of Vehicle Efficiency Engineering, you will connect engineering-system data and physical measurements to clear forecasts, risks, and actions. In your first 12 months, success means accurate and traceable mass data, dependable prototype and manufacturing correlation, and quantified reduction opportunities adopted by engineering owners. Lucid offers a vehicle-wide role where rigorous analysis directly protects range, performance, compliance, and customer value.  What You Own  <ul> <li data-leveltext="·" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="15" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"·","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1">Mass Data: Maintain vehicle, system, and option-level mass properties by reconciling CAD, PLM, BOM, MES, CAE, configuration, and measurement data.
