Job summary

Lucid Motors is seeking an experienced BMS/Embedded Systems Engineer to translate vehicle-level requirements into verifiable battery management specifications. You will conduct system analyses, simulations, and architecture studies to enable scalable BMS frameworks, while collaborating with safety and reliability teams on FMEA/FTA for fault-tolerant designs.

You will define verification procedures and support OTA updates to enhance battery safety and longevity.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field is required; a master’s degree or higher is preferred.
7+ years of experience developing BMS or energy storage systems with embedded hardware and software for safety-critical, real-time systems.
Deep understanding of BMS concepts including cell modeling, state estimation, cell balancing, and fault diagnostics.
Ability to translate high-level system requirements into low-level embedded hardware and software requirements.
Experience with requirement management processes and at least one requirement management tool such as JAMA, Polarion, or 3DX.
Experience with cross-functional software integration, configuration management, and automated HIL testing frameworks.
Proficiency analyzing large-scale vehicle telemetry data using Python, SQL, or MATLAB/Simulink.
Preferred experience with MBSE tools, OTA update pipelines, MATLAB/Simulink model-based design, ISO 26262/ASIL, ISO 21434, CAN, CAN-FD, UDS, isoSPI, AUTOSAR, fleet analytics, Git, CI/CD, and automated regression testing.

Responsibilities

Translate vehicle-level requirements into clear, verifiable, and traceable BMS and energy storage requirements.
Perform system analysis, simulations, functional decomposition, and architecture studies for scalable BMS frameworks.
Collaborate with safety and reliability teams on FMEA, FTA, and safety analysis for fault-tolerant embedded systems.
Define verification procedures and PASS/FAIL criteria and support integration testing and release quality with V&V teams.
Analyze large-scale telemetry and fleet-health data to monitor battery performance, diagnose anomalies, and triage field issues.
Develop and deploy OTA software mitigations for field anomalies and continuous battery safety and longevity improvements.
Own configuration management, versioning, and release processes for reproducible, auditable, and compliant deliveries.
