LEADING THE FUTURE IN LUXURY ELECTRIC AND MOBILITY

At Lucid, we set out to introduce the most captivating, luxury electric vehicles that elevate the human experience and transcend the perceived limitations of space, performance, and intelligence. Vehicles that are intuitive, liberating, and designed for the future of mobility.
We plan to lead in this new era of luxury electric by returning to the fundamentals of great design – where every decision we make is in service of the individual and environment. Because when you are no longer bound by convention, you are free to define your own experience.
Come work alongside some of the most accomplished minds in the industry. Beyond providing competitive salaries, we’re providing a community for innovators who want to make an immediate and significant impact. If you are driven to create a better, more sustainable future, then this is the right place for you.
We are seeking a Senior Engineer to take technical ownership of battery cell performance initiatives across product programs. In this role, you will be responsible for driving performance optimization of high-current use cases, like fast charging and short-duration high current (dis)charge, of battery cells in Lucid’s products.

Role

• Design and execute test plans to optimize cell performance in Lucid’s products
• Work with external suppliers to ensure cells meet expected performance targets and specifications
• Work cross functionally to understand challenges beyond cell limits and identify the most effective strategies for performance optimization
• Root cause failures when cells are used near their, explore innovative solutions to enhance the durability and reliability of the cell at different stages of life
• Benchmark new battery cell technologies and provide insights on the relationship between cell design choices and cell performance

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience running cell tests and working with commercial lithium-ion cells on Maccor or Arbin cyclers
• Strong understanding of physics governing battery cell performance, including electrochemical and thermal phenomena
• Ability to effectively communicate technical concepts to both experts and general audiences. Can effectively visualize and communicate data.
• Strong data analysis capability. Track record of automating workflows to improve efficiency and scalability scalingof analyses, especially for large, real-world data sets
• Self-starter who can proactively seek out connections, tools, and solutions to solve complex technical challenges

Preferred

• Working experience in EV battery industries and/or collaborating with Tier 1 cell suppliers
• Familiarity with cylindrical, prismatic, and other commercial cell form factors. Experience tearing down these cells is especially valuable
• Expertise in LFP battery materials
