Manager, Drivability Attribute Calibration

The Drivability Team's mission is to create a best-in-class acceleration control experience so seamless and intuitive that our customers are dissatisfied while driving any other vehicle. This team is searching for a new leader to guide them in accomplishing their mission. As their leader, your core deliverable is accurate and precise longitudinal acceleration response to pedal input or autonomous request with a focus ranging from vehicle sensors to driver sensation. You and your team will be hands on in vehicles defining and developing this attribute on every program at Lucid or with our technology partners. Your technical knowledge should include control, calibration, testing, and subjective evaluation of longitudinal acceleration response. Your individual contribution experience should demonstrate consistent on time delivery of innovative controls and calibrations to meet Drivability attribute requirements. Your leadership experience should demonstrate guiding and growing a team of engineers ranging from new grads to highly experienced technical experts. You must bring passion for developing state-of-the-art vehicles in a fast paced and evolving work environment.

Key Responsibilities:

· Manage, represent, and lead a multi-state team of 4-6 calibration engineers defining and delivering the Drivability attribute.

· Set and drive technical, architectural, and operational vision of calibration and validation activities for Drivability.

· Collaborate with Motion Controls, Battery Control, Motor Control, Chassis Control, and Vehicle Dynamics to deliver efficient and accurate control algorithms.

· Mentor and grow high performance calibration engineers while providing career guidance.

· Foster a culture of teamwork, innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement.

· Own end-to-end the calibration development cycle including planning, effort estimating, development, testing, verification and validation, and issue resolution.

· Explore new technologies and methods for performing calibration and testing activities.

· Design and execute subject evaluations of Drivability on Lucid and competitive benchmark vehicles.

Qualifications:

· 5+ years of calibration or controls experience in vehicle, powertrain, or chassis domains, including 2+ years managing high-performing engineering teams.

· BS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, or related technical degree is required.

· Proven ability to lead, mentor, and inspire teams to achieve their best.

· Proficiency with calibration development tools (ETAS, ATI, Vector, etc.), model-based control development tools (MATLAB, Simulink, State Flow, etc.), data analysis tools (Python, Excel, MATLAB, etc.), calibration management tools (vCDM, Creata, git, etc.) and project management tools (Jira, Confluence, Jama, etc.).

· Excellent leadership, communication, and organizational skills with an ownership mindset and ability to work across teams and functions to deliver results.

· Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities and make data-driven decisions in a fast-paced environment.

· Strong problem-solving skills with a proactive approach to managing escalations and resolving issues.

Advantageous:

· Master's degree or higher education in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, or similar technical field is preferred.

· Experience with battery electric vehicle powertrains.
