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. We are currently seeking a Calibration Engineer

Drivability and Performance for powertrain calibration. This position requires a passionate engineer with expertise in a wide variety of vehicle systems to calibrate and develop acceleration performance, dynamics, thermal endurance, towing, driveline response, and other attributes. Our ideal candidate exhibits a can-do attitude and approaches their work with vigor and determination. Candidates will be expected to follow a first-principles approach to solving problems, make data-driven decisions, communicate well, and work effectively in a fast-paced environment. 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, 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.
