The opportunity

At Lucid, we are creating exceptional mobility experiences through innovation to drive the world forward. Built on Lucid’s proprietary technology and software-defined vehicle architecture, our award-winning vehicles bring our “Compromise Nothing™” approach to the global automotive market.

What you'll do

  • Own the systems definition and delivery of assigned driving features: use cases, operating conditions, operational design domain (ODD), behavioral requirements, limitations, and measurable acceptance criteria.

  • Decompose vehicle-level objectives into functional, performance, and safety: requirements. Allocate performance budgets and maintain traceability from stakeholder needs through implementation and verification evidence.

  • Develop functional architectures, state machines, interface specifications,: and clear hardware/software ownership boundaries. Evaluate trade-offs involving sensors, compute, latency, vehicle interfaces, and algorithm capability.

  • Specify activation, availability, mode transitions, driver interaction, fault: response, and degraded behavior. Distinguish L2 driver-supervision responsibilities from L4 system responsibilities, including fallback and minimal-risk behavior where applicable.

  • Partner with perception, localization, prediction, planning, controls,: embedded software, vehicle integration, and HMI teams to resolve dependencies and deliver coherent end-to-end behavior.

  • Define scenario-based verification and validation strategies across: simulation, software-/hardware-in-the-loop, proving-ground, and on-road testing. Connect each requirement to a test method and objective pass/fail criteria.

What they're looking for

  • Work with data and test teams to establish feature metrics, logging needs,: scenario coverage, and dataset representativeness. Use fleet and test data to identify gaps and prioritize improvements.
  • Investigate failures and performance limitations using vehicle logs, software: behavior, and targeted experiments. Drive root-cause resolution, regression coverage, and assessment of changes across releases.
  • Collaborate with functional safety and SOTIF engineers on hazard analysis,: foreseeable misuse, triggering conditions, safety mechanisms, and supporting evidence; incorporate relevant standards and regulatory requirements.
  • Lead technical reviews within your feature scope, communicate risks and: trade-offs, and coordinate with program teams, suppliers, and technology partners to support integration and evidence-based release decisions.
