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

  • Technical Leadership: Align hardware, software, controls, test, and program stakeholders; review critical evidence; mentor engineers; and present decision-ready recommendations.

  • Modeling Strategy: Define fit-for-purpose methods, fidelity, assumptions, uncertainty, and sign-off criteria for vehicle-efficiency and physical-system models.

  • CFD and Multiphysics: Lead targeted CFD and thermal-fluid simulations for HVAC, cooling, aerodynamic, and other vehicle systems and translate results into design decisions.

  • Coupled Vehicle Models: Develop and integrate mechanical, electrical, and thermal models spanning batteries, drive units, inverters, chargers, chassis, HVAC, and controls.

  • Engineering Workflows: Build reusable pre-processing, parameter-study, optimization, post-processing, version-control, and regression workflows using Python, MATLAB, or equivalent tools.

  • Correlation and Validation: Partner with test teams on instrumentation and experiments, correlate models to physical data, quantify uncertainty, and close gaps to agreed criteria.

What they're looking for

  • Advanced hands-on capability with commercial CFD plus system-modeling and data-analysis tools.
  • Passion for problem-solving, and curiosity to discover and understand.
  • Proven technical leadership of model development, instrumented testing,: model-to-test correlation, and cross-functional engineering decisions.
  • Deep expertise in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, numerical: methods, and physics-based modeling.
