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

  • Develop and sustain seat belts systems, across the whole product lifetime:: from system specification development, sourcing, packaging, drawing release, design validation to ramp up, manufacturing support to post SOP maintenance.

  • Achieve product technical excellence as well as economical, timing and quality targets.

  • Collaborate with the design studio, ergonomic, seating, BIW and interior: engineering teams to develop the optimum restraint system packages for occupant protection performance and interior styling.

  • Provide guidance and requirements to internal teams on required reaction: forces or displacements, keep out zones, and lead conceptual design of required guides, brackets, etc.

  • Manage Tier 1 suppliers for both engineering development and program timing.: Function as the main point of contact for all supplier interfaces.

  • Support restraint system integration work: 1) Seatbelt integration into seat, BIW and other surrounding vehicle environments, accounting for seat kinematics and related interactions during crash events. 2)Provide expertise on restraint system design to help achieve regulatory and consumer safety targets for our new vehicles. Work closely with CAE and Crash Test teams to provide design inputs and utilize CAE and test results to optimize the component design.

What they're looking for

  • Support crash tests and vehicle homologation. Make sure parts are supplied: with correct pedigrees for all crash test vehicles and other vehicle level validation and homologation needs.
  • Deep understanding of Mechanical Engineering fundamentals: mechanics of materials, materials properties, dynamics and biomechanics related to occupant safety, failure mechanics
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skill to apply the engineering knowledge to solving practical problems
  • Enough CAD skills to package the component models into the vehicle: environment, and check and define interfaces with the rest of the vehicle. The ideal candidate should possess enough CAD skills to design brackets, fixtures, or offer proposals for modifications of the seatbelt and interfacing hardware.
