The Role

Join Lucid’s Autonomous Driving and ADAS organization to develop andmaintainthe ADAS Integration Applications. You will integrate active safety, drivingassistance, parking, viewing, and driver-monitoring functionality across multiple vehicle programs and software variants. This role blends embedded application development, ADAS feature integration, software architecture, build infrastructure, and cross-functional coordination and collaboration.

The successful candidate thrives with minimal guidance, makes sound technical decisions, and turns complex system requirements into robust,adaptiveand reliable production software in a fast-moving environment.

What You’ll Do

• Design, develop, andmaintainproductionADAS application-layer software in C++ for the ADAS Integration Application.Partner with project management, feature owner, system, validation,infotainmentand ADAS development teams to deliver production-ready ADAS features.
• Analyze and decompose system-level requirements into clear software requirements; Own software architecture, complete implementation tasks, and support verification criteria definition.
• Design and implement robust state-machine logic for active safety, parking, viewing, and driving features.
• Implement vehicle-facing feature behavior, including telltales, notifications, warnings, chimes, settings, diagnostics, fault handling, and HMI interactions.
• Integrate supplier and in-house ADAS functionality across existing and future vehicle programs and software variants.
• Develop andmaintaincommunication interfaces using various middleware and communication protocols such as DDS and Ethernet.
• Build scalable multi-platform software architecture, code-generation workflows, and release strategies that support common code across vehicle programs.
• Contribute to Bazel-based build systems, CI/CD pipelines, build automation, developer tooling, and code optimization.
• Participate in code reviews, design reviews, release planning, documentation, and continuous improvement of engineering workflows
• Perform unit, SIL, HIL, bench, and in-vehicle testing; troubleshoot integration issues and lead root-cause analysis across software and ECU boundaries.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of professionalsoftware-developmentexperience, including embedded, automotive, robotics, or other safety-critical systems.
• Strong C/C++ programming, software architecture, debugging, and system-integration skills in Linux-based development environments.
• Demonstrated experience designing and implementing state machines and translating complex requirements into testable software.
• Experience with Git-based development, code reviews, automated builds, and modern CI/CD workflows.
• Ability to work independently, communicate clearly, and collaborate effectively across software, systems, and validation teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s or PhD degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, ora related field.
