An electric car line only keeps moving if the right part is at the right station at the right time. Lucid, the maker of Lucid Air and Lucid Gravity, is hiring an Associate Material Planner to keep material flowing from receiving and storage to line-side delivery.
About the Role
You will support material flow and warehouse operations so that material moves accurately and on time. That covers receiving, storage, inventory control and line-side delivery; checking material availability against production needs; and storing sheet metal, stamped components and critical parts to warehouse standards. You will use FIFO, zoning, slotting and other lean logistics practices, keep inventory accurate in SAP/WMS, and work with Production, Quality, Procurement, Planning and suppliers.

Lucid builds its vehicles with deep vertical integration across design, engineering and production. An entry-level planning role there offers exposure to automotive logistics, which can lead toward Material Planner, Logistics Engineer or Supply Chain Analyst roles.
