About the Team
Lucid’s Material Planning team supports production readiness by helping ensure the right parts are available at the right time for manufacturing operations. The team partners closely with Supply Chain, QA/QC, Manufacturing, Packaging, and Material Flow Engineering to identify material risks, resolve shortages, and protect production flow. What makes this team unique is its direct impact on daily plant execution, using data, cross-functional coordination, and rapid problem solving to keep operations moving in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
About the Role
The Material Planning Analyst is an individual contributor role that reports to a Supply Chain or Material Planning leader. This role exists to strengthen visibility, accountability, and response time across material planning activities that support production continuity. In the first 12 months, this person will own reporting, risk monitoring, shortage resolution support, and data integrity improvements that help reduce material disruptions and improve planning accuracy. Success will be measured by timely risk escalation, reliable KPI reporting, stronger cross-functional alignment, and improved confidence in material planning data. A strong candidate will gain hands-on exposure to production-critical planning decisions in an electric vehicle manufacturing environment where their analysis directly supports plant execution and operational performance.
What You Own
Inventory Risk: Monitor reports and indicators of potential inventory risk, identify root causes, and communicate resolution paths that help protect production schedules.
KPI Reporting: Develop and maintain KPIs and reporting tools that give Manufacturing and Production Control clear visibility to risks, categories, countermeasures, and timing.
Shortage Resolution: Serve as a liaison between material follow-up, material planning, and LOC operations to resolve plant material shortages and support timely part availability.
Supplier Performance: Prepare and manage reports that support Supply Chain analysis of supplier performance and enable informed escalation or corrective action.
Data Integrity: Audit and monitor data across material follow-up and transportation systems to improve planning accuracy and reduce preventable disruptions.
Cross-Functional Alignment: Coordinate with external departments to resolve shortage issues, including deviation requests and stock transfers across multiple usage points.
Inventory Control: Establish, monitor, and maintain inventory levels across multiple locations by tracking theoretical consumption, actual replenishment orders, and system improvement opportunities.
