You Will: Lead the design, architecture, and implementation of the vehicle's embedded telecommunication module, ensuring integration with existing and future vehicle systems. Design and lead the implementation of the eCall system architecture, ensuring compliance with global regulatory standards. Design and implement robust and secure OTA frameworks for remote updates of vehicle software, firmware, and telematics systems. Develop an architecture that enables efficient and adaptive routing within the vehicle's communication systems. Design and enforce isolated communication architectures within the vehicle's telecommunication and infotainment systems to ensure robust cybersecurity. Lead the design and optimization of audio signal routing and integration with infotainment and telecommunication systems. Define and implement DSP solutions for audio tuning, noise cancellation, and in-cabin sound enhancement. Architect and oversee the delivery pipeline for high-performance graphical rendering across primary and secondary displays within the vehicle. Interface with the Safety Island subsystem to ensure fail-safe communication pathways and graceful degradation strategies for infotainment-critical features. Collaborate with software, hardware, cybersecurity, and infrastructure teams. Drive continuous innovation in architecture and development of automotive connectivity solutions. Provide technical guidance, mentorship, and knowledge-sharing to engineering teams. You Bring: 10+ years of experience in automotive telecommunication system design, mobile development, or related fields. Proven expertise in developing vehicle infotainment and communication architectures, including embedded vehicle gateways. Solid experience in embedded and mobile development in Android, including AAOS, AOSP, and iOS platforms. Deep understanding of automotive communication protocols and telecommunication standards. Experience with eCall systems and understanding of regulatory compliance in different regions. Strong knowledge of telecommunications architecture and wireless communication protocols as applied to automotive systems. Expertise in designing secure and scalable systems for OTA software updates in a vehicle environment. Knowledge of cloud-based solutions, edge computing, and telematics platforms for intelligent routing and secure data transmission. Strong technical leadership with the ability to influence product direction, champion new technologies, and provide clear strategic guidance. Ability to collaborate effectively with senior engineers, cross-functional teams, and executives to drive initiatives to successful completion. Proficiency in mobile application development and backend integration. In-depth knowledge of automotive telematics and infotainment systems, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications. Familiarity with embedded systems, real-time OS, and vehicle architecture. Exceptional problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to navigate complex technical challenges. Great to Have: Experience leading mobile development teams in building applications that support vehicle telematics, mobile-based controls, diagnostic systems, and integration with telecommunication modules. Education Requirements: Master's degree in electrical engineering, software engineering, telecommunications, or a related technical field, or equivalent work experience in a similar role. Ph.D. preferred, particularly with a focus on infotainment and connectivity. At Lucid, we don't just welcome diversity - we celebrate it! Lucid Motors is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, national or ethnic origin, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity and expression, marital status, and any other characteristic protected under applicable State or Federal laws and regulations.
