Sr. Industrial Engineer, Simulation & Digital Manufacturing

As a Sr. Industrial Engineer, Simulation & Digital Manufacturing at Lucid Motors, you will be a key enabler for data-driven decision-making in Powertrain Manufacturing. Your primary focus will be to simulate production flows, maintain a real-time capacity database, and support bottleneck identification and resolution across all powertrain areas. You will help shape the roadmap for Industry 4.0 adoption and collaborate closely with operations, engineering, and analytics teams.

You Will:

• Build, maintain, and continuously improve dynamic simulation models of Powertrain production flows (e.g., FlexSim, Siemens Plant Simulation, etc.).
• Use simulation outputs to identify bottlenecks, quantify improvement opportunities, and validate system-level changes before implementation.
• Maintain and manage a live manufacturing database capturing cycle time, station uptime, staffing models, and throughput assumptions.
• Collaborate with Process Engineers, TPMs, and IE Manager to validate real-time inputs from the shop floor.
• Prepare scenario-based glidepath and ramp simulations to support New Product Introductions (NPIs) and launch readiness.
• Support layout optimization, station balancing, and material flow design through virtual modeling.
• Integrate digital manufacturing tools and dashboards aligned with Lucid’s Industry 4.0 vision.
• Use data analytics platforms (e.g., Tableau, Power BI, SQL) to visualize trends, downtime drivers, and efficiency losses.
• Lead simulation reviews with stakeholders to influence decisions on investment, headcount, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Document modeling assumptions, version control, and lessons learned to ensure transparency and scalability of simulation tools.

You Bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years of experience in discrete event simulation modeling and factory flow optimization using tools like FlexSim or Siemens Plant Simulation.
• 5+ years of experience in Powertrain/automotive manufacturing systems with expertise in time studies, OEE, line balancing, MODAPTS, and Lean principles.
• 5+ years of experience managing production databases, developing analytical models, and applying Industry 4.0 concepts (digital twins, smart factory, IoT integration).
• Proficiency in data tools including Excel, SQL, Tableau, or Power BI.
