Andrew Bailey, Lucid‘s Head of Global Logistics, has left the EV maker to join humanoid robot developer Figure AI, he said on Thursday.
“After an incredible chapter, I’m closing out my time at Lucid Motors and beginning a new one,” Bailey wrote in a LinkedIn post.
“Now, I’m excited to share that I’ve joined Figure AI as Head of Commercial Logistics,” he added. Bailey worked at Lucid for over three and a half years. His Figure role started in September.
Logistics Organisation
Bailey joined Lucid in January 2023 as Director of Materials Management and became Head of Global Logistics in July that year, his profile shows.
In that role, he led “a global logistics organization of 800+ across customs, transportation, material planning, packaging engineering, warehouse, and lineside operations,” according to his profile.
He was also responsible for the unit’s full profit and loss and for inventory.
As Director of Materials Management, Bailey oversaw material planning, flow engineering and internal logistics to “ensure zero production downtime in Lucid’s build-to-order electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing environment,” the profile says.
He was based at Lucid’s factory in Casa Grande, Arizona.
The Saudi-backed carmaker currently sells two models, the Air sedan and the Gravity SUV, both built at the Casa Grande plant.
A third model, the midsize Cosmos crossover, was previously scheduled to start production at Lucid’s AMP-2 plant in Saudi Arabia in late 2026.
In August, Lucid pushed that start to the second half of 2027.
“AMP-2 will be ready for production in early 2027 and ready to run midsize production in the second half of the year,” Chief Executive Officer Silvio Napoli said on the company’s second-quarter earnings call.
“We will not repeat the mistakes of the past by bringing a product to market before it is ready,” he added.
Bailey said in his LinkedIn post that he is “incredibly grateful for my years at Lucid and for the opportunity to help build and scale the logistics organization through a period of tremendous growth and change.”
Before Lucid, Bailey spent 10 years at German automotive supplier Dräxlmaier Group, according to his profile.
From November 2016 to September 2022, he was Plant Manager. There, he launched and led a plant producing interior components for luxury carmakers, with more than 400 staff across engineering, logistics, quality and production.
Figure Robots
At Figure, Bailey said he would “help build the logistics and deployment organization supporting one of the most ambitious technologies being developed today: humanoid robotics.”
Figure, founded in 2022 by Chief Executive Officer Brett Adcock, raised more than $1 billion at a $39 billion post-money valuation exactly a year ago.
The company said in April it had delivered more than 350 Figure 03 robots from its BotQ factory and lifted output from one robot a day to one an hour in 120 days, according to a company update.
In May, Figure signed an agreement with Catalyst Brands, owner of brands including JCPenney, Aéropostale and Brooks Brothers, to deploy humanoids starting at its distribution centre in Reno, Nevada, the company said.
The Figure 03 also began work at BMW‘s plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, in June, Figure said.
There, the robot handles sequencing, picking parts and placing them in the correct slots for the assembly line while moving heavy carts, in the plant’s assembly and logistics hall.
Its predecessor, the Figure 02, loaded sheet-metal parts into a welding fixture at the same plant during an 11-month deployment that contributed to the production of more than 30,000 BMW X3s, Figure said in November 2025.
Leaner Lucid
Bailey’s exit comes as Lucid cuts costs and inventory under Napoli, who was named incoming CEO in April and took over on June 1.
In June, Lucid said it would cut about 18% of its US workforce, with annualised savings of about $158 million, and eliminated the Chief Operating Officer role previously held by Marc Winterhoff.
The departure of Winterhoff, who served as interim CEO for over a year, was exclusively reported by EV and later confirmed by Lucid in an SEC filing.
“On June 22, 2026, the Company announced that Marc Winterhoff, Chief Operating Officer, has departed the Company, effective immediately following the elimination of the Chief Operating Officer position,” Lucid announced.
The company said it had deliberately reduced second-quarter production to 4,774 vehicles to “align output with anticipated demand, convert inventory into deliveries and cash,” it said in August.
Deliveries in the quarter totalled 3,953 units. Third quarter figures are expected to be released early in October.
Lucid expects inventory reduction to contribute about $600 million to $800 million of the $1.4 billion in cash flow improvements it has identified for 2026.
Lucid has also seen a string of senior departures since late 2023.
Sanjay Chandra, VP of Information Technology, announced his exit in August after more than five years. EV exclusively reported his departure in late July.
Emad Dlala, Senior VP of Engineering and Software, left in June after nearly 11 years at the company.
