Hey everyone. First off, hopefully this isn't against the rules. I'm genuinely trying to find someone to set up in a great career. My team is hiring technicians and I remember always seeing young guys asking what they can do with all the skills they pick up doing car audio. And car audio honestly taught me the skills that were the foundation I built my career on. All the way from an F student to an engineer. So I thought I'd hop back on the old forum and see if anyone is looking for a job or a new career.
We are Lucid Motors and this position is located in Newark, CA. The position hasn't even been posted yet but I'll copy the job description below and we can get the process started and you'll be first in line. We also have other technician positions available on other teams so we can hire multiple people. You guys love working with tools, you know ohms law, you're craftsmen always trying to get better at what you do. You'd all be amazing candidates.
