Sr. Mechanical Engineer, Battery Module
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
As a Sr. Mechanical Engineer, you will help support state-of-the-art electric vehicle battery systems through design improvements & cost optimization initiatives, root cause corrective action, sustaining activities, as well as proposing new design concepts to evolve the design into its next generation. Our ideal candidate exhibits a can-do attitude and approaches his or her work with vigor and determination. Design Ownership
Lead the design optimization of existing core HV Battery components, such as the Battery Module, from initial concept through production. Cross-Functional Collaboration
Work closely with cell & modeling engineers, battery systems, power electronics engineers, manufacturing, quality and other cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of mechanical, thermal and electrical systems. Prototyping & Testing
Design prototypes, create 3D CAD models, and develop test plans to validate designs. Drive changes based on test results and real-world feedback. Leadership
Interface internally and with external OEMs as the design lead for diverse HV Battery components. Qualifications
Experience: 4+ years of experience as a major contributor in a fast-paced engineering environment. Engineering Fundamentals: Strong understanding of mechanical engineering principles, including structural, thermal, and mechatronic design. CAD Proficiency: Strong skills in 3D CAD (e.g., CATIA, 3DX, or similar) and familiarity with GD&T principles. Manufacturing Knowledge: Experience with manufacturing processes such as injection molding, sheet metal stamping, die casting, and more. Dimensional Understanding: Strong knowledge of GD&T and Creepage & Clearance principles. Problem-Solving: Experience with root cause analysis methods (e.g., 8D, FMEA) and ability to apply them to complex technical challenges. Hands-On Experience: Proficiency with prototyping and shop tools to develop and validate designs. Preferred
Battery Design: 3+ years experience in designing HV Battery components. Automotive Engineering: Familiarity with automotive engineering & product validation processes (environmental testing, shock/drop testing, etc.). Electronics Integration: Experience integrating mechanical designs with high-voltage electrical systems. Education
Bachelor's in the areas of Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing, Automotive, or other related fields. Master's preferred. Salary Range
