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.
We are seeking a Sr. Motion Planning and Controls Engineer Autonomous Driving to design develop and deploy industry-leading planning and control algorithms for next-generation driver assistance and autonomous systems.
This position is based in Newark CA and requires onsite presence five days a week.
The Role:
As a Sr. Motion Planning and Controls Engineer you will play a key role in developing high-performance motion planning and control features for Lucids ADAS and autonomous driving systems. Youll work across software hardware and systems teams to ensure robust design testing and deployment of production-grade lateral and longitudinal control algorithms.
Responsibilities:
Design prototype test and deploy motion planning and control algorithms for ADAS and autonomous driving systems.
Implement state-of-the-art approaches to trajectory planning route planning and real-time control.
Develop and tune classical and modern controllers (e.g. LQR MPC PID Adaptive Robust) for both lateral and longitudinal vehicle dynamics.
Conduct model-based design and validation using MATLAB/Simulink or equivalent tools.
Participate in the full development cycle from simulation and SIL/HIL testing to in-vehicle implementation and release.
Collaborate closely with systems validation perception and platform teams to ensure safe and seamless software integration.
Contribute to architectural decisions safety assessments and product scalability.

Bachelors degree in Automotive Aerospace Mechanical Engineering or a related field (advanced degrees preferred).
5 years of experience (with MS) or 3 years (with PhD) in motion control or trajectory planning for ADAS/Autonomous Driving.
Deep knowledge of control system design and real-time implementation using modern control approaches (e.g. LQR MPC).
Proven experience deploying lateral and longitudinal controllers in a production or research vehicle environment.
Proficiency in modeling and simulation tools (e.g. MATLAB/Simulink).
Solid understanding of ADAS/AD systems robotics and vehicle dynamics.
Strong communication skills and ability to thrive in a fast-paced collaborative environment.
Preferred Qualifications:
Proficiency in programming languages such as C Python and MATLAB.
Experience with middleware frameworks like ROS.
Familiarity with AUTOSAR and embedded software development practices.
Experience in bench testing SIL/HIL integration and scenario-based simulation.
Knowledge of safety standards and automotive system regulations (e.g. ISO 26262).
Background in agile development environments version control (e.g. Git) and static code analysis.
