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 currently seeking a Test Engineer within the Efficiency, Performance and Systems group at Lucid Motors. As an engineer in the Efficiency, Performance and Systems group, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify and improve sources of vehicle efficiencies. Additionally, you will gain exposure to vehicle development, benchmarking and vehicle-level testing on a chassis dynamometer. This includes instrumenting vehicles, utilizing various data acquisition systems and contributing to efforts aimed at optimizing energy consumption. The ideal candidate is passionate about electric vehicles and thrives in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment.

The Role:

• Plan and execute vehicle level dynamic test activities per test plans developed in collaboration with key internal stakeholders and external resources
• Collaborate with simulation and functional teams to validate performance of components, of subsystems, as well as of the complete vehicle
• Be responsible to instrument vehicles with the necessary sensors to collect data for efficiency and performance while receiving assistance from the software and hardware teams
• Be responsible for retrieving, storing and sharing of logged data from tests with different teams
• Schedule test tracks, dynamometer, and thermal chamber facilities and prioritize use of resources to meet tight, changing deadlines
• Work with the homologation team to understand the requirements of the tests used in official test procedures
• Run vehicle test procedures on proving ground tracks and vehicle chassis dynamometer and collect and share data for analysis
• Participate in design reviews, provide input and engineering analysis to development teams
• Conduct benchmarking with competitive vehicles for various vehicle attributes including efficiency, range, and cabin comfort
• Work efficiently within a multidisciplinary cooperative and innovative environment, including directly cooperating with hardware, software, and testing teams

Qualifications:

• Excellent communication skills in both technical and non-technical environments.
• Passion for hands-on automotive engineering and testing.
• Knowledge of range testing procedures, of coast-down testing as well as of dynamometer testing.
• An understanding of automotive HVAC systems and thermal systems fundamentals
• A proven track record of technical excellence.
• A capability to define appropriate targets using a range of strategies.
• Experience in troubleshooting vehicle issues.
• Working knowledge of vehicle communication network systems (CAN, LIN, Ethernet, etc.)
• Ability to instrument a vehicle and operate data acquisition systems (HBM, Hioki, Vector, etc.) for data collection.
• Ability to interpret regulations and test procedures in collaboration with homologation team.

Preferred:

• Experience in automotive thermal controls.
• Experience in electric vehicle powertrains.
• Experience with MATLAB and Simulink.
• Some knowledge of SAE J1634/2264 regulations is a plus.
• Hands-on driving/operating experience with chassis dynamometers is a plus.
• Some knowledge of scripting for simulation process automation.

Education:

• BS plus 2 years or MS in an engineering discipline.
