Job description

Sr. Software Engineer, Plant Modeling and Tools

Phoenix, AZ; Southfield, MI

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.

The Role:

• Work with cross-function team to identify plant model requirements for MIL/SIL/PIL/HIL/System Integration testing
• Work with other modelling engineers to create subsystem models for different domains and integrate it to the vehicle model
• Support improvement activities for the current vehicle model via modeling of systems such as steering, toe and camber, chassis mechanics to scale up simulation activities.
• Develop physics and electronic actuators models for steering system, brake systems and electronic park brakes
• Assist in development of electrical models for high voltage systems such as motors, invertors and OBC
• Support development of real-time Simulation Models using MATLAB/Simulink or similar model-based toolkit
• Design & Develop tools using M scripts/Python scripts to automate integration of closed-loop library models
• Work with requirement owners to establish validation metrics for plant models
• Validate component, sub-system or full system model against actual vehicle data from field
• Document and track modeling issues as appropriate. Participate in triaging of model issues with various teams to drive towards root cause identification and resolution
• Implement performance improvements as well as improve model fidelity/functionality
• Help with scalability of model for new and upcoming products
• Participate in the design of a world-class engineering effort to bring electric vehicles to a new level of refinement

Qualifications :

• Master’s degree in mechanical engineering, electrical or automotive engineering
• 5+ years of experience developing plant models for simulation/software development or test
• Experience in real-time controls plant modeling
• Working knowledge in chassis systems, vehicle dynamics and/or power electronics systems
• Knowledge with automotive communication protocols such as CAN, LIN, UDS, and related tools to measure and command signals
• Experience with revision control tools, such as git
• Willingness to learn new tools and modeling methods
