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.

Senior Field Quality Engineer, Software Integration 

Engineering | Arizona | Full-Time 

About Lucid 

At Lucid, we are creating an electric future without compromise. That means refusing to choose between performance and sustainability, design and engineering, ambition and integrity. We build world-class vehicles by pushing performance, efficiency, and design beyond industry limits, setting new standards with vehicles like Lucid Air and Lucid Gravity. 

The people here, engineers, designers, operators, and builders, came from across industries and around the world because they wanted to work on a harder problem. They care deeply about mastering their craft and delivering work they’re proud of. We trust you to take ownership, push beyond what is expected, and help write the playbook for what comes next. 

By refusing to settle, you help shape the future of electric mobility and prove what’s possible when craft and ambition refuse to compromise each other. 

The Role 

Connected, software-defined vehicles require seamless integration between hardware, embedded software, cloud services, vehicle diagnostics, fleet management systems, and customer-facing applications. For Lucid's contracted fleet programs, software performance, system stability, and deployment quality directly impact vehicle availability, customer experience, and operational success. 

As a Senior Field Quality Engineer, Software Integration, you will serve as the Field Quality technical lead responsible for investigating, prioritizing, and resolving software-related customer issues affecting contracted fleet vehicles. You will drive cross-functional root cause investigations involving embedded software, vehicle controls, cloud services, telematics, diagnostics, over-the-air (OTA) updates, fleet applications, and vehicle-system integrations. 

You will work closely with Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, Vehicle Integration, Service Engineering, Product Management, Data Analytics, and Fleet Operations teams to identify software failure modes, validate corrective actions, and ensure software releases achieve the required reliability and operational performance in the field. 

Success in your first 12 months means improving software issue detection, reducing issue recurrence, accelerating root cause identification, increasing software-release quality, and strengthening fleet uptime through proactive quality management. What makes this role unique is the opportunity to directly influence the reliability of a software-defined vehicle ecosystem operating at fleet scale while connecting real-world customer feedback to engineering action. 

What You’ll Own 

Software Field Issue Investigation: Lead investigations into customer-reported software concerns impacting contracted fleet vehicles, including vehicle functionality, connectivity, diagnostics, user interfaces, system interactions, performance degradation, and feature execution. 

Root Cause Analysis & Corrective Actions: Drive structured root cause investigations involving vehicle software, cloud services, embedded controllers, system interfaces, diagnostics, telematics platforms, APIs, and fleet-management applications. Validate corrective actions and ensure long-term prevention of recurrence. 

Software Integration Quality: Evaluate interactions among vehicle systems, software modules, hardware components, cloud infrastructure, mobile applications, and third-party integrations to identify software integration failures and systemic quality risks. 

Fleet Software Performance Monitoring: Analyze fleet telemetry, software health metrics, diagnostic trouble codes, system logs, vehicle events, OTA installation data, and customer feedback to identify emerging software quality concerns before wide-scale customer impact. 

OTA Release Readiness: Partner with Software Engineering and Program teams to assess software-release readiness, quality risk, deployment strategy, rollback plans, validation evidence, and fleet impact prior to production deployment. 

Field Validation & Issue Reproduction: Coordinate vehicle testing, data collection, log analysis, simulation activities, software debugging, and issue reproduction efforts to verify root causes and confirm corrective action effectiveness. 

Technical Escalation Management: Support the escalation of critical software issues affecting fleet operations, vehicle availability, safety, customer satisfaction, or business objectives. Provide technical assessments, risk evaluations, containment recommendations, and resolution plans. 

Data-Driven Quality Analysis: Leverage vehicle telemetry, cloud analytics, customer feedback, service records, software performance indicators, and field data to identify trends, measure issue severity, and prioritize engineering actions. 

Cross-Functional Problem Resolution: Work directly with Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, Vehicle Integration, Product Management, Service Engineering, Field Quality, Warranty Engineering, and Fleet Operations teams to drive rapid issue closure. 

Software Corrective Action Validation: Develop validation plans and success criteria to confirm software fixes, configuration changes, feature updates, and deployment improvements effectively resolve identified issues. 

Fleet Operational Readiness: Support contracted fleet operations by ensuring software updates, diagnostic tools, release documentation, service instructions, and technical communications are aligned with deployment plans and operational requirements. 

Quality Feedback Loop: Ensure field learnings, customer feedback, issue trends, and failure analyses are translated into improved software requirements, release processes, validation strategies, and quality standards. 

Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to improve software quality monitoring, deployment processes, issue detection methodologies, fleet diagnostics, and release governance to increase fleet reliability and customer satisfaction.

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

• Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
• Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
• Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
• Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
• Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
• Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
• When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
• Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
• Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 93°F (34.1°C), and the coolest is Dec at 52°F (11.0°C). About 221 mm (9 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Jul is the wettest month (33 mm) and Jun the driest (3 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
