If you are driven to create a better, more sustainable future, then this is the right place for you.
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.
