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.
Responsibilities:
Requirements & System Integration: Analyze and decompose system-level ADAS/AD requirements into actionable software tasks; ensure alignment with system architecture, safety standards, and cross-domain vehicle integration.
SW Architecture Design: Lead the design of robust, reusable, and high-performance software architectures for behavior planning (Level 2–4 AD/ADAS/parking), including system fault-handling mechanisms and state machine implementation.
Software Development & Testing: Develop automotive-grade, safety-compliant software with focus on low-latency and high-reliability execution; validate via unit, SIL/HIL, and on-vehicle testing.
Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with perception, localization, control, and validation teams to ensure seamless feature integration and end-to-end delivery of AD/ADAS functionalities.
Optimization & Continuous Improvement: Drive software integration, optimization, and process improvements to enhance development efficiency, performance, and scalability.
Required Qualifications:
Master’s in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or a related field
3+ years of software development experience in autonomous driving, ADAS, or robotics, with a focus on large-scale data and real-time systems
Strong programming skills in C/C++ with solid understanding of software engineering design principles and best practices
Proven track record of delivering ADAS/AD features through the full production lifecycle: requirements analysis, architecture/design, implementation, unit testing, feature tuning, SIL/HIL validation, and in-vehicle deployment
Hands-on experience with software integration on embedded platforms (e.g., NVIDIA Xavier/Orin, Infineon Aurix)
Demonstrated ability to build reliable production-grade systems, including large-scale architectures, evaluation pipelines, and performance-optimized models
Preferred Qualifications:
5+ years of industry experience with a Master’s degree in autonomous driving or robotics
Practical experience with in-vehicle communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet) and ECU network tools (Vector CANoe, CANape, etc.)
Familiarity with middleware solutions such as DDS or ROS2, and understanding of real-time, scalable data exchange in distributed systems
Experience with safety-critical software development compliant with ISO 26262 or other automotive safety standards
