The Role
We are seeking a highly technical and collaborative Manager, Vehicle Field Quality to lead a defined portfolio of vehicle systems and Field Quality Engineers while advancing shared Vehicle Field Quality priorities across Lucid Air, Lucid Gravity, and future programs. This role strengthens leadership capacity within the Vehicle Field Quality organization and accelerates the detection, investigation, containment, and permanent resolution of vehicle concerns affecting customers in global markets.
The successful candidate will combine people leadership, vehicle-level systems expertise, disciplined issue management, data-driven prioritization, and strong cross-functional execution. This leader will balance specialist ownership with whole-vehicle thinking and drive clear accountability across Engineering, Manufacturing, Supplier Quality, Service, Diagnostics, Warranty, Product Safety, regional quality teams, and other partners.
Success in the first 12 months means improving the speed and rigor of issue detection, containment, root cause confirmation, and corrective-action implementation; reducing repeat repairs, warranty exposure, customer downtime, and recurrence of known failure modes; strengthening ownership and workload balance across the team; improving global execution; and ensuring field lessons are integrated into current and future vehicle programs. What you will find here that you will not find in a comparable role elsewhere is the opportunity to lead whole-vehicle Field Quality execution across highly integrated hardware and software systems while directly influencing customer experience, product reliability, global field actions, and future vehicle development.
What You’ll Own
Vehicle Field Quality Leadership
Lead, coach, and develop an assigned team of Vehicle Field Quality Engineers responsible for customer issue investigations and corrective-action execution.
Provide leadership coverage for urgent escalations, operating reviews, team development, hiring, and cross-functional decision-making.
Maintain clear accountability across assigned vehicle systems, programs, regions, and critical initiatives while partnering effectively with other Field Quality leaders.
Vehicle Systems Portfolio Ownership
Own field-quality performance for an assigned portfolio that may include body and closures, chassis, interiors and seating, exterior systems, low-voltage electrical, infotainment, software-integrated vehicle functions, ADAS interfaces, climate, NVH, or other vehicle-level systems.
Ensure clear system ownership, technical depth, and effective backup coverage across the Vehicle Field Quality team.
Balance specialist ownership with whole-vehicle thinking to identify interactions across hardware, software, manufacturing, service, and customer-use conditions.
Field Issue Detection & Prioritization
Monitor warranty claims, service repairs, repeat repairs, customer complaints, Voice of Customer signals, diagnostic data, telematics, field reports, and quality issue records to identify emerging concerns.
Prioritize issues using customer impact, safety or regulatory relevance, frequency, vehicle population exposure, recurrence risk, warranty cost, regional impact, and business risk.
