Calibration Engineer
Drivability and Performance
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. 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 Responsibilities:
Calibrate industry-leading torque control systems on high performance vehicles to achieve performance, drivability, vehicle dynamics, and efficiency goals. Define attribute goals for vehicle performance and work with powertrain, chassis, and other controls engineers to tune hardware and software simultaneously to achieve them. Work closely with controls engineers to develop a strong understanding of the system and improve algorithms to meet attribute goals. Travel to test facilities near-by and around the world to calibrate systems in all relevant situations. Develop and execute test plans to validate calibrations against subjective, objective, regulatory, and functional safety requirements. Qualifications:
Strong knowledge of vehicle dynamics, electric powertrains, and control theory fundamentals. First-principles approach to understanding new systems and solving problems. Extensive experience in powertrain or drivability calibration, particularly for electric or high-performance applications. Work effectively with others: receive and provide feedback clearly, kindly, and constructively. Data-driven: translate subjective feedback into effective calibration changes through data analysis and sound reasoning. Superb written communication skills. Document progress and findings consistently and deliberately. Experience with relevant engineering tools, including a calibration interface like Vector CANape, (add others), ECU diagnostic tools, Matlab/Simulink, Git, etc. Driving experience recommended. Bachelor's degree in electrical, computer, mechanical or other appropriate engineering discipline is required. 3+ years of relevant professional experience. 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.
