Lucid Motors is seeking a Sr. 3D Print Lab Technician to operate and maintain 3D printing equipment and help develop our internal prototyping capabilities. This role will involve handling requests from engineers to fabricate parts while providing DFAM feedback and guidance for material and process selection. Both one-off parts and small-volume production are common, primarily in nylon-based materials using either FFF or SLS processes. The Sr. 3D Print Lab Technician is also expected to maintain relationships with 3D printing service bureaus to advise engineers when outsourcing printed parts.

At Lucid, we don’t just welcome diversity - we celebrate it! Lucid Motors is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, national or ethnic origin, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity and expression, marital status, and any other characteristic protected under applicable State or Federal laws and regulations.

  • Coordinate scheduling of print requests to ensure timely delivery of parts
  • Provide DFAM feedback and material/process guidance to engineers prior to printing components
  • Collect part performance feedback after printing components
  • Maintain relationships with external printing services and understand their general prototyping capabilities
  • Set expectations with engineers, deliver parts within the expected timeframe, and follow-up on part performance
  • Qualifications:

  • Prior operation of Markforged FFF/CFF and 3D Systems SLS equipment
  • Basic understanding of anisotropic material considerations, including continuous fiber reinforcement orientation
  • Knowledge of automotive environmental considerations
  • Knowledge of designing mating features and maintaining clearances based on process tolerance
  • Parts will often vary significantly and will unlikely be well-suited for 3D printing, so experience with challenging setups and print time optimization is helpful
