About Lucid
At Lucid we are creating exceptional mobility experiences through innovation to drive the world forward. Built on Lucids proprietary technology and software-defined vehicle architecture our award-winning vehicles bring our Compromise Nothing approach to the global automotive market. That means refusing to choose between performance and sustainability design and engineering ambition and Lucid Air and Lucid Gravity we have designed and built vehicles that have redefined their segments combining exceptional range performance design and expansive space in a single experience.
We achieve this through deep vertical integration with design engineering and productionhappening in-houseacross our global offices the world united by a shared commitment to refusing to settle youcanhelpredefinewhatspossible andshape the future of mobility.
will be expected to demonstrate excellence in their respective fields to possess the ability to learn quicklyand to strive for perfection within a fast-paced environment.
In this role you will own validation strategy and execution for assigned power electronics programs authorand drive DVP&Rs from requirements through closure and architect system-level test setups that scaleacross programs. You will work autonomously set technical direction for test methodology and mentorjunior engineers and technicians.
Responsibilities
- Own and drive verification and validation strategy for power electronics products (on-board chargers DC-DC converters inverters and related high voltage assemblies) from concept through productionrelease.
- Author own and drive DVP&Rs: derive test cases from system and component requirements define acceptance criteria and sample sizes negotiate scope and schedule with design and program teams and drive plans to closure with documented evidence.
- Architect system-level test setups and validation architectures including HV/LV interfaces load and mission profiles thermal and environmental conditioning fault-insertion and end-to-end data acquisition strategy.
- Review electrical and mechanical schematics and define test cell layouts and requirements for instrumentation low voltage and high voltage circuitry; specify equipment and drive lab capability build-out.
- Define and oversee the design of test benches including jigs and fixtures instrumentation harnessing and DAQ systems; establish measurement accuracy uncertainty and correlation requirements.
- Lead root-cause analysis of complex system-level failures drive corrective action with design and supplier teams and independently drive R&D and design-improvement activities.
- Establish test methods procedures and best practices; standardize automation data pipelines and reporting across the team.
- Serve as the validation technical interface to design systems reliability quality manufacturing and supplier teams; represent test results in design reviews and program gate reviews.
- Mentor and provide technical direction to junior engineers and technicians; review test plans setups data and reports for technical rigor.
- Own HV lab safety standards equipment calibration strategy and documentation quality for the validation area.
Qualifications
- Bachelors degree or higher in Electrical Engineering Mechanical Engineering Power Electronics or arelated field.
- 5 years of experience in power electronics development test and validation.
- Deep understanding of power electronics fundamentals (switching topologies magnetics gate drive
- control loops EMI/EMC behavior thermal design).
- Demonstrated ownership of DVP&Rs and requirements-based validation programs through productionlaunch.
- Proven experience defining and standing up system-level test setups and lab capability from theground up.
- Extensive hands-on expertise with lab equipment (battery simulators power supplies E-loadsoscilloscopes current probes power analyzers hi-pot testers thermal/environmental chambers DAQsystems).
- Strong knowledge of automotive and industrial environmental reliability requirements (GMW ISO IECstandards) and their application to test plan development.
- Expert-level high voltage safety knowledge and the ability to establish safe work practices for others.
- Strong technical writing and communication skills with the ability to convey complex concepts clearly to technical and executive audiences
Preferred
- Experience developing automated test systems and data analysis pipelines (Python LabVIEWMATLAB or equivalent).
- Experience with CAN/CAN-FD communication diagnostics and HIL or bench-level integration testing.
- Experience with reliability engineering methods (HALT/HASS accelerated life testing Weibull analysisDFMEA linkage to DVP&R).
- Experience mentoring engineers and leading cross-functional technical investigations
