Sr. Manufacturing Test Engineer - Drive UnitActive

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

  • Review and approve Drive Unit test specifications and change requests from: design engineering, acting as the manufacturing test authority for motor, inverter, and integrated DU validation.

  • Analyze and provide feedback on test sequences, limits, cycle time, process: flow, and failure-mode handling for Drive Unit EOL and sub-assembly test stations.

  • Design and own test system hardware for Drive Unit testing, including system: layout, cabinet and rack design, connectorization, HV/LV routing, shielding, grounding, and thermal considerations to support high‑power EV components.

  • Develop modular and scalable test applications with clear operator interfaces: for Drive Unit testing, including parameter management, test sequencing, fault messaging, and data logging.

  • Implement databases to manage Drive Unit test parameters, serial‑level: results, traceability, and correlation to manufacturing and quality systems.

  • Define DUT handling, fixturing, and electrical/mechanical interfaces for: Drive Unit test stations, including HV safety interlocks and automated connection strategies.

What they're looking for

  • Collaborate with Controls, Quality, Production, and external equipment: suppliers to ensure robust, repeatable, and data‑driven test solutions.
  • Lead sourcing, RFQs, supplier selection, build tracking, and technical: oversight for externally supplied Drive Unit test equipment.
  • Develop and execute commissioning and validation plans for Drive Unit test: systems, including GR&R, red-rabbit units, fault injection, and simulation of electrical, mechanical, and communication failures.
  • Launch Drive Unit test systems into production and provide on‑floor support: during ramp, including tuning limits, improving robustness, and reducing false fails.
