The Role
The Vehicle Test, Development & Instrumentation (VTDI) team is seeking a Tools, Systems & Data Engineer II to build and maintain the software tools, workflow automations, data infrastructure, and engineering platforms that enable vehicle test and development across Lucid's product portfolio.
You'll spend most of your time on tools, systems, and data engineering: writing software, automating workflows, building data pipelines and dashboards, and partnering with engineers to turn their pain points into working solutions. The balance is spent supporting the Vehicle Test & Development team directly, working on prototype vehicles, running diagnostics and software updates, setting up instrumentation, and supporting test planning and execution alongside the engineers who use what you build.
The best engineering tools are built by people who have used them in the field. Time spent on real vehicles will sharpen your understanding of what engineers actually need and make the tools you build better for it. It also means you'll develop a rare skill set, one that combines modern software engineering with hands-on vehicle development.
Success in this role means translating cross-functional needs into secure, scalable, and supportable tools that engineers rely on every day, while being a dependable pair of hands for the Vehicle Test & Development team.
