About the Team

The team connects inputs from warranty claims, service repairs, telematics, diagnostic logs, customer feedback, and vehicle usage to identify patterns, prioritize risks, and guide corrective action. What makes this team unique is its position at the intersection of data science, engineering, service operations, and manufacturing, where insights directly influence vehicle quality decisions. By building scalable analytics and predictive capabilities, the team helps Lucid address quality concerns earlier and strengthen long-term vehicle performance.
About the Role
As a Senior Data Scientist, Field Quality, you will report to a Field Quality leadership role and own the development of predictive models, analytical frameworks, and scalable data solutions that help Lucid identify and resolve vehicle quality issues sooner. This role exists to close the gap between high-volume field data and timely, data-driven quality decisions across warranty, service, reliability, product engineering, manufacturing, and data engineering teams. In your first 12 months, you will deliver predictive quality models, establish repeatable analytics for risk-based prioritization, and enable faster decisions that improve vehicle reliability and reduce warranty exposure. Success will be measured by earlier issue detection, improved prioritization of corrective actions, stronger visibility into fleet health, and adoption of your analytics by cross-functional stakeholders.
