Sr. Thermal Multi-physics Engineer, Battery
Newark, CA 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. Role
Be part of a passionate and highly driven team of multi-disciplinary engineers developing the next generation Lucid Battery and High Voltage components. Own and maintain state of art thermo-electric models of high voltage components such as PCB board, busbars, power modules, etc. Perform advanced FEA and CFD simulations to evaluate and optimize thermo-electric and thermal-structural design across different devices at the component and system level. Work cross functionally between various technical teams to evaluate concepts for future designs. Develop optimization methods for high voltage components and assemblies to maximize system efficiency while minimizing mass and cost of the system. Support design engineers in making sure the parts meet design requirements. Perform post-test reviews and correlate the CAE predictions to test results. Develop and apply advanced methodologies with smart analysis techniques to speed up the development cycle. Qualifications
Experience with ANSYS Icepak, ANSYS Mechanical and/or ANSYS Fluent and for meshing, solving, and post processing. Knowledge of multidisciplinary CAE and modeling of thermal, thermo-electric and thermal-structural. Experience in electro-thermal modeling of electronic components e.g., PCB boards, power modules and busbars Strong knowledge of heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and Mechanical/Electrical engineering fundamentals Geometry cleanup skills in a CAD package (Catia or SpaceClaim preferred). Excellent communication skills with people of varying technical ability in your field A strong desire to create the very best product, working as an integral part of a very capable team. The capability to design experiments to validate your analysis and ideas. Preferred
Experience with electronics packaging design and analysis Experience designing thermal management systems for electronics. Experience in HV battery design and optimization Proficiency using FEA preprocessing tools – Hypermesh, ANSA, Simlab. Experience with MATLAB/Simulink, Python, COMSOL and other simulation tool Additional fields of experience (electromagnetics, structural statics/dynamics, material science, electro-chemical). Experience in: GTSuite, TaiTherm, StarCCM, Catia/3DExperience, Optimus, OptiSLang, or other engineering software. Practical hands-on experience with validation and experimental measurements including design of experiments. Experience with multi-objective optimization and process automation software. Education
Bachelors or Masters/PhD degree preferred in mechanical engineering or related engineering field More than 3 years of academic and applied experience in CFD, FEA and multi-physics CAE with a Masters/PhD degree in mechanical engineering or related engineering field More than 5 years of academic and applied experience in CFD, FEA and multi-physics CAE with a bachelor degree in mechanical engineering or related engineering field Salary Range : The compensation range for this position is specific to the locations listed below and is the range Lucid reasonably and in good faith expects to pay for the position taking into account the wide variety of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions, including job-related knowledge; skillset; experience, education and training; certifications; and other relevant business and organizational factors. Additional Compensation and Benefits : Lucid offers a wide range of competitive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability insurance, vacation, and 401k. The successful candidate may also be eligible to participate in Lucid’s equity program and/or a discretionary annual incentive program, subject to the rules governing such programs.
