Formación

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 2+ years of related professional hardware-engineering experience, or an advanced degree without professional experience.
• Hands‑on experience with schematic design, board bring‑up, oscilloscopes, DMMs, and structured circuit troubleshooting.
• Working knowledge of analog and digital electronics, power supplies, communication interfaces, and component selection.
• Ability to document design intent, test evidence, risks, and engineering changes clearly.

Responsabilidades

• Circuit Ownership: Design and release assigned analog, digital, power, interface, or protection circuits within low-voltage ECUs.
• Design Evidence: Complete calculations, simulations, schematic reviews, component derating, tolerance analysis, and characterization.
• Prototype Validation: Define bench tests, bring up prototypes, analyze results, and close discrepancies against requirements.
• Design Robustness: Maintain DFMEA and DVP&R actions and address EMC, thermal, reliability, and manufacturability risks.
• Supplier and Factory Support: Resolve board, component, contract-manufacturer, and production issues with disciplined root-cause methods.
• Cross-Functional Delivery: Coordinate interfaces with Systems, Software, Mechanical, ADAS, Validation, Quality, and Supply Chain teams.

About Lucid

At Lucid, we are creating exceptional mobility experiences through innovation to drive the world forward. Built on Lucid's proprietary technology and software-defined vehicle architecture, our award-winning vehicles bring our “Compromise Nothing™” approach to the global automotive market. That means refusing to choose between performance and sustainability, design and engineering, ambition and integrity. In Lucid Air and Lucid Gravity, we have designed and built vehicles that have redefined their segments, combining exceptional range, performance, design, and expansive space in a single experience.

We achieve this through deep vertical integration, with design, engineering, and production happening in-house across our global offices and manufacturing facilities. Our teams come from industries around the world, united by a shared commitment to excellence. By refusing to settle, you can help redefine what’s possible and shape the future of mobility.

About the Team

The Low-Voltage Electronics team develops and sustains the ECUs and electronic hardware that enable core vehicle and ADAS functions. The organization owns requirements, circuit and mechanical design, prototypes, characterization, validation, supplier and contract-manufacturer execution, production support, and field issue resolution. It works across software, systems, packaging, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and vehicle programs. Deep in-house knowledge is essential because the designs and failure modes span multiple vehicle generations.

About the Role

As a Hardware Engineer, Low-Voltage ECUs, you will own defined electronic-control-unit design and characterization work for vehicle and ADAS applications.
