About Lucid
At Lucid, we are creating exceptional mobility experiences through innovation to drive the world forward. Built on Lucid’s proprietary technology and software-defined vehicle architecture, our award-winning vehicles bring our “Compromise Nothing™” approach to the global automotive market. That means refusing to choose between performance and sustainability, design and engineering, ambition and integrity. In Lucid Air and Lucid Gravity, we have designed and built vehicles that have redefined their segments, combining exceptional range, performance, design, and expansive space in a single experience.
We achieve this through deep vertical integration, with design, engineering, and production happening in-house across our global offices and manufacturing facilities. Our teams come from industries around the world, united by a shared commitment to excellence. By refusing to settle, you can help redefine what’s possible and shape the future of mobility.
The Vehicle Efficiency Engineering (VEE) team is responsible for vehicle-level attributes that directly impact efficiency, performance, and customer experience. Working closely with product development, manufacturing, testing, validation, and attribute teams, Efficiency Engineering plays a critical role in delivering efficient, high-performing vehicles that meet customer expectations and regulatory requirements. Through a combination of engineering expertise, data-driven decision-making, and cross-functional collaboration, the team influences key decisions from concept development through production launch and beyond.
About the Role
As a Technical Specialist, Vehicle Systems Modeling, you will define the modeling methods and cross-functional evidence used to answer vehicle-efficiency, architecture, and performance questions. You will lead CFD and coupled physical-system modeling across thermal, propulsion, charging, chassis, aerodynamic, and controls domains and connect models to instrumented test data. In your first 12 months, success means an adopted modeling strategy, correlated priority models, reproducible analysis workflows, and faster design decisions across vehicle programs. Lucid offers technical ownership of the evidence chain from first-principles models through vehicle-level decisions.
