About The Team
Lucid’s Quality organization helps ensure vehicles are built, verified, and released with clear evidence of compliance, safety, and product readiness. The team connects regulatory requirements, Homologation, manufacturing execution, quality systems, and final product release across the full vehicle lifecycle. This team is unique in the way it partners across Design Engineering, Legal, Launch, Manufacturing Engineering, Production, Product Release, and Homologation to translate complex requirements into practical controls on the manufacturing floor. Its work directly supports audit readiness, market readiness, and customer confidence in Lucid products.
About The Role
The GRC Program Manager is a senior-level role reporting to a leader within the Quality organization. This role exists to strengthen the connection between government regulations, safety requirements, EV-specific compliance expectations, manufacturing controls, and final product release decisions. In the first 12 months, this person will own the development and execution of regulatory compliance controls that support production readiness, audit readiness, and compliant vehicle release across applicable models, markets, and configurations. Success will be measured by complete release evidence, effective process controls, timely closure of compliance gaps, and improved alignment between Homologation requirements and manufacturing execution. A strong candidate will have the opportunity to shape how regulatory requirements are operationalized in an EV manufacturing environment where product design, launch execution, and release assurance intersect.
What You Own
- Regulatory Controls: Define and maintain government regulatory processes, verification controls, and release criteria by vehicle configuration, market requirement, and export destination.
- Homologation Alignment: Partner with Homologation to translate applicable requirements into manufacturing processes, inspection points, control plans, workstation controls, and release evidence.
- Release Readiness: Confirm that regulatory, safety, certification, labeling, EV compliance, and product release evidence is complete before vehicles are released to customers or markets.
- Process Verification: Lead production surveillance activities that verify government regulations, safety requirements, labeling requirements, EV-specific requirements, and destination-specific controls are effectively implemented.
- Risk Resolution: Drive containment, correction, root cause analysis, corrective action, and prevention activities when safety, regulatory, labeling, EV compliance, or release issues are identified.
- Audit Readiness: Coordinate internal, external, country-specific, and third-party audits by preparing evidence, supporting execution, tracking follow-up actions, and driving closure.
- Cross-Functional Alignment: Lead cross-functional response and improvement efforts across Product Design, Purchasing, Manufacturing, Launch, Quality, Homologation, and Production to implement lessons learned in current and future programs.
What You Bring
- 10 years of experience in an automotive, manufacturing plant environment.
- 5 years of experience in regulatory compliance or government affairs.
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, quality, manufacturing, regulatory compliance, or a related technical field.
- Experience introducing new systems, equipment, manufacturing processes, inspection controls, or quality verification methods into a production environment.
- Working knowledge of automotive manufacturing processes, product release controls, engineering changes, deviations, rework processes, containment, and production quality systems.
- Ability to interpret regulatory, homologation, safety, or quality requirements and translate them into manufacturing controls, inspection points, audit criteria, and release requirements.
- Ability to read, write, speak, and understand English sufficiently to perform the essential duties of the position, including understanding work instructions, safety procedures, and job-related communications.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in EV manufacturing, high-voltage systems, battery systems, electric powertrain controls, homologation, regulatory compliance, product launch, or product release processes.
- Experience developing manufacturing processes and systems for new products, including launch readiness, production validation, and release governance.
- Experience with regulatory compliance topics such as certification labels, tire and loading labels, Monroney/window stickers, EPA EV Fuel Economy & Environment labels, VIN and configuration accuracy, export-market requirements, or EV safety requirements.
- Knowledge of control plans, PFMEA, special characteristics, error-proofing, layered process audits, containment, corrective action, root cause analysis, SPC, and inspection standards.
Physical Requirements
Ability to read, write, speak, and understand English sufficiently to perform the essential duties of the position, including understanding work instructions, safety procedures, and job-related communications.

Senior Level Product Safety Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a senior level product safety engineer job?
Employers hiring at the senior level want engineers who have owned safety programs end to end, not just executed tasks within them. Highlight experience leading hazard analyses, authoring risk management files, navigating regulatory submissions, and influencing cross-functional decisions. Demonstrated ability to mentor junior engineers and drive compliance strategy, rather than follow it, is what separates senior candidates from mid-level applicants.
Which companies hire senior level product safety engineers?
Companies hiring senior level product safety engineers right now include Wabtec, Eurofins, and Lucid Motors, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level tends to come from large manufacturers, medical device companies, automotive suppliers, and aerospace firms with established safety and regulatory affairs functions.
Are there remote senior level product safety engineer jobs?
Yes, though availability varies by industry and employer. About 33% of senior level product safety engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with fully remote roles more common in regulatory consulting and software-adjacent safety functions than in hands-on hardware or manufacturing environments.
What makes a product safety engineer role senior level?
Senior level product safety engineer roles are defined by ownership and scope. At this stage, engineers lead risk management strategy, make final calls on safety classifications, represent the organization in regulatory interactions, and mentor less experienced team members. The work shifts from executing a defined process to designing, improving, and defending the process itself across complex or high-stakes products.
Which industries hire the most senior level product safety engineers?
Senior Level product safety engineer roles concentrate in Automotive, Medical Devices, and Technology & Software, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because their products face rigorous regulatory requirements, long certification cycles, and high liability exposure that demand experienced safety leadership rather than generalist oversight.
