Leading the future of luxury mobility

Lucid’s mission is to inspire the adoption of sustainable energy by creating the most captivating luxury electric vehicles, centered around the human experience. Working at Lucid Motors means having a shared vision to power the future in revolutionary ways. Be part of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to transform the automotive industry.

We are currently seeking Battery Modeling Engineers, of all levels, to develop advanced performance, lifetime, and algorithm models. Junior level candidates with solid modeling background, and senior level candidates with broader battery modeling experience and additional skill sets are both encouraged to apply.
This position requires a creative and analytical mindset with experience in modeling lithium-ion batteries. Our ideal candidate exhibits a can-do attitude and approaches his or her work with vigor and determination. A successful candidate should be a quick learner and detailed oriented. This position will be expected to possess the ability to strive for perfection within a fast-paced environment.

The Role:

  • Develop multiphysics-based models of lithium ion batteries under extreme operating conditions based on electrochemistry knowledge and test data
  • Develop robust battery models to predict cell behavior including but not necessarily limited to rate performance, life degradation, calendar aging, electrochemical and thermal response, and safety related behavior
  • Provide novel solutions of battery management control system to optimize dischargeable capacity, cycle life, and charge time
  • Formulate and execute designs of experiments to acquire sufficient data to train, validate, and test the battery models
  • Work on battery estimation algorithms regarding SOC, SOH, impedance, and performance limitation under given operating conditions
  • Work with cross-functional teams to develop, implement, test, and maintain your model
  • Review academic papers and provide insight summary for team members
  • Develop advanced deep learning models and tools for data analysis and optimization
  • Deliver documents related to model and algorithm development
  • Work with intellectual property team to patent your inventions
  • Collaborate with battery team to determine and achieve battery performance and lifetime targets

Qualifications:

  • Fundamental knowledge of lithium-ion cell electrochemistries and mechanisms
