We are currently seeking a High Voltage Systems & Modeling Engineer II, HV Battery. This position requires an engineer with a solid foundation in high-voltage systems, modeling methodologies, and a passion for advancing electric vehicle technology. Our ideal candidate exhibits a can-do attitude and approaches their work with curiosity, collaboration, and determination. Candidates will be expected to learn quickly, contribute to cross-functional projects, and uphold Lucid’s high standards of technical excellence within a fast-paced environment.

Role:

• Contribute to the development of next-generation high-voltage (HV) systems and vehicle architectures alongside a team of experienced engineers.
• Support the definition and documentation of system requirements, architecture diagrams, and validation plans.
• Build and maintain simulation models of electrical and thermal systems to evaluate performance, efficiency, and thermal behavior.
• Perform trade studies and analyses to support component selection, control strategy development, and subsystem design optimization.
• Collaborate across disciplines to understand and model interactions between subsystems including battery, inverter, DC/DC converter, HVAC, and on-board charger.
• Participate in validation activities such as SIL, HIL, component, and full-system testing, correlating results with simulation outputs.
• Analyze test and fleet data to refine models, update requirements, and improve prediction accuracy.
• Contribute to system-level documentation, DFMEA inputs, and requirements traceability under guidance from senior engineers.
• Develop scripts, tools, and workflows that automate model setup, data processing, or report generation.
• Engage in design reviews, technical discussions, and continuous learning to strengthen your understanding of HV system behavior and modeling best practices.

Qualifications:

• At least 2+ years of experience in HV systems and/or the automotive industry.
• Solid understanding of engineering first principles related to energy systems, thermodynamics, or electrical networks.
• Familiarity with modeling and simulation tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, or Python.
• Interest in system-level design, control strategy development, and validation workflows (SIL, HIL, or equivalent).
• Basic understanding of lithium-ion battery systems, high-voltage components, and automotive electrical architectures.
• Analytical and problem-solving mindset with attention to detail and data accuracy.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills for collaboration across disciplines.
• Eagerness to learn, take ownership, and contribute in a fast-paced, innovative environment.

Preferred:

• Experience with control systems, optimization, or multi-physics simulation.
• Exposure to EV, hybrid, or energy storage system development.
• Familiarity with DFMEA, DVP&R, or requirements management tools.
• Experience with data visualization and analysis (Grafana, Tableau, or equivalent).
• Knowledge of vehicle thermal and electrical interactions (HVAC, charging systems, power distribution).
• Experience with version control and collaboration tools (git, JIRA, Confluence).

Education Requirements:

BS (and preferably MS) in a relevant engineering discipline.
