In this role, you will bridge the gap between early-stage prototypes and global production releases, ensuring our energy storage and powertrain systems operate with maximum safety, efficiency, and performance. This position sits at the intersection of embedded software, power electronics hardware and vehicle network architecture. You will collaborate with engineers across systems engineering, hardware, controls, and verification and validation to perform complex architecture studies and drive architecture decisions, develop robust system requirements and drive hardware and software improvements for current and future Lucid vehicles. Our ideal candidate exhibits a proactive, can-do attitude and approaches their work systematically and diligently. Candidates will be expected to demonstrate excellence in their respective fields, to possess the ability to learn quickly and to strive for perfection in a fast-paced environment. Role responsibilities: * Perform functional decomposition to translate complex vehicle-level requirements into clear, verifiable, and traceable BMS and energy storage requirements * Perform system analysis and simulations to architect robust, scalable BMS frameworks and propose concept of operations to cross-functional teams * Collaborate with safety and reliability teams to perform FMEA, FTA and safety analysis to enable development of fault-tolerant embedded systems capable of real-time, safety-critical execution. * Define verification procedure and clear PASS/FAIL criteria for requirement verification and work closely with V&V teams to successfully complete integration testing and guarantee release quality. * Leverage large-scale telemetry and fleet-health analytics to proactively monitor battery performance, diagnose anomalies, and triage complex field issues. * Develop, validate, and rapidly deploy OTA software mitigations to resolve field anomalies and continuously improve battery safety and longevity. * Own configuration management, versioning, and release processes to ensure reproducible, auditable, and compliant deliveries. ## Related Videos - [Building a hypercar from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/607-building-a-hypercar-from-scratch) - [Leveraging Large Language Models for Legacy Code Translation: Challenges and Solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1157-leveraging-large-language-models-for-legacy-code-translation-challenges-and-solutions) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Software stack under and over the hood of the fastest accelerating car in the world](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/221-software-stack-under-and-over-the-hood-of-the-fastest-accelerating-car-in-the-world) - [How to develop an autonomous car end-to-end: Robotic Drive and the mobility revolution](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/22-how-to-develop-an-autonomous-car-end-to-end-robotic-drive-and-the-mobility-revolution) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) ## Related Articles - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Data Science & more: The Lopez dilemma](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/10-data-science-more-the-lopez-dilemma) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs)
