Sr. Test Engineer (Inverter)Active
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 inverter test specifications and change requests from: design engineering, acting as the manufacturing test authority for traction inverter validation.
Analyze and provide feedback on test sequences, limits, cycle time, process: flow, and failure‑mode handling for inverter EOL and sub‑assembly test stations.
Design and own test system hardware for inverter testing, including system: layout, cabinet and rack design, HV/LV routing, connectorization, shielding, grounding, and thermal considerations for high‑power switching electronics.
Develop modular and scalable test applications with clear operator interfaces: for inverter testing, including parameter management, test sequencing, fault messaging, and data logging.
Implement databases to manage inverter test parameters, serial‑level results,: traceability, and correlation to manufacturing and quality systems.
Define DUT handling, fixturing, and electrical/mechanical interfaces for: inverter test stations, including automated HV connections and safety interlocks.
What they're looking for
- Collaborate with controls engineers to integrate test applications with: station PLCs, dynos or load systems, cooling systems, and material handling equipment, including responses to electrical, thermal, and safety‑critical failure modes.
- Lead sourcing, RFQs, supplier selection, build tracking, and technical: oversight for externally supplied inverter test equipment.
- Develop and execute commissioning and validation plans for inverter test: systems, including GR&R, red‑rabbit units, fault injection, and simulation of electrical, thermal, and communication failures.
- Launch inverter test systems into production and provide on‑floor support: during ramp, including limit tuning, yield improvement, and false‑fail reduction.
