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

  • Serve as the manufacturing test technical authority for powertrain systems,: providing oversight and direction across inverter, Drive Unit, and battery test architectures.

  • Review and approve powertrain‑level test strategies, specifications, and: major change requests from Design Engineering, ensuring consistency, manufacturability, and scalability across commodities.

  • Define common test principles for end‑of‑line (EOL) and in‑process testing,: including test sequencing philosophy, limit strategies, failure‑mode handling, safety requirements, and data traceability.

  • Guide and review test system designs to ensure alignment in HV/LV safety,: grounding, shielding, thermal considerations, and connectorization standards across all powertrain stations.

  • Provide technical mentorship and design oversight to commodity‑focused test: engineers (Inverter, DU, Battery) during system development, commissioning, and production ramp.

  • Lead technical reviews for externally supplied powertrain test equipment,: including RFQs, supplier selection, architecture reviews, and design validation.

What they're looking for

  • Partner with Controls Engineering to ensure proper integration of test: applications with station PLCs, dynos, load systems, cooling systems, safety circuits, and material handling equipment.
  • Define and review commissioning and validation methodologies across: powertrain test systems, including GR&R, fault injection, red‑rabbit units, and simulation of electrical, mechanical, thermal, and communication failures.
  • Act as a key escalation point for complex production issues, supporting: root‑cause analysis, yield improvement, and false‑fail reduction across powertrain test operations.
  • Collaborate with factory data and analytics teams to enable consistent test: data architecture, serial‑level traceability, yield dashboards, and long‑term quality monitoring across powertrain systems.
