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 Responsibilities

• Requirements Analysis and Decomposition: Analyze and decompose system-level requirements into clear, actionable software tasks. Collaborate closely with system engineers to ensure alignment on ADAS feature requirements and system design integrity.
• SW integration: Develop and maintain integration pipeline for controls ADAS software to ensure automation of development and build pipelines.
• CI/CD infrastructure: Design, build, and maintain CI/CD infrastructure for L2/ L2++ ADAS projects, enabling scalable, automated build, integration, and validation pipelines to support rapid development and reliable software delivery.
• Software Design and Architecture: Design robust, scalable software architectures for ADAS feature integration that meet functional, safety, and performance standards.
• State Machine Implementation: Design and implement detailed state machine models for various ADAS features (active safety, driving, and parking). Validate correct logic through unit testing, SIL/HIL testing, and in-vehicle evaluation.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with cross-functional teams including systems, product owner, validation, platform and controls to ensure seamless integration of ADAS features across the vehicle platform.
• Documentation and Reporting: Maintain thorough documentation of software design, requirements traceability, unit test cases, and validation outcomes.

• 6+ years of experience in software development and software integration
• Full-cycle software development experience with autonomous driving systems—from requirements to production deployment
• Strong skills in C/C++/python and modeling environments such as MATLAB/Simulink
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, build systems, and automated test frameworks
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills; comfortable working across embedded systems and real-time applications
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a fast-moving, collaborative environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree with 6+ years experience, or Ph.D. with 3+ years experience
• Hands-on experience with embedded platforms such as NVIDIA Xavier/Orin and Aurix; strong debugging and diagnostic skills across multicore architectures
• Strong understanding of communication protocols (Ethernet) and tools like Vector CANape/CANoe
• Practical experience testing ADAS/AD features in both simulation and real-vehicle environments
• Deep knowledge in one or more areas of ADAS systems such as behavior planning, motion planning, or vehicle control
• Experience with safety-critical systems and standards (e.g., ISO 26262, AUTOSAR)
