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.

Lucid Motors is seeking a Senior SQA and Test Infrastructure Development Engineer to help build the next generation of test, automation, and validation systems that power our in‑vehicle compute platforms, embedded controllers, and advanced driver‑assistance technologies. You will play a key role in ensuring that Lucid’s software and hardware meet the highest standards of safety, reliability, and performance—supporting everything from firmware development to large‑scale automotive validation.

This role sits at the intersection of DevOps, embedded systems, and automotive test engineering, enabling fast, safe, and scalable development for the world’s most advanced electric vehicles.

What you’ll be doing

Architect and maintain DevOps pipelines and test automation infrastructure optimized for automotive and embedded development workflows, including cross‑compilation, ECU flashing, and hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HIL) validation
Build internal tools and services that streamline embedded software testing, firmware deployment, and continuous integration for safety‑critical systems
Collaborate with Embedded Software, Vehicle Integration, and Test Engineering teams to design scalable test environments for Lucid’s in‑vehicle compute modules and real‑time embedded platforms
Implement containerized and cloud‑native systems using Docker and Kubernetes to orchestrate distributed test execution across lab and cloud resources
Integrate automotive‑specific workflows into CI/CD systems, including static analysis, MISRA compliance, traceability, and automated regression testing
Develop monitoring, logging, and diagnostic tools to ensure high availability and performance of embedded test infrastructure
Support and extend test frameworks used for ECU validation, vehicle‑level testing, and manufacturing test

What we need to see

BS/MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
5+ years of experience in DevOps, embedded test infrastructure, or automation tooling
Strong proficiency in Python and experience with frameworks such as Flask or Django
Experience with embedded Linux, cross‑compilation, and deploying applications to embedded targets
Familiarity with automotive communication protocols such as CAN bus, or Automotive Ethernet
Experience with HIL/SIL systems, embedded test benches, or automotive validation environments such as vector Tools
Proficiency with version control systems such as GIT or GitLab
Strong Linux knowledge—deployment, debugging, system monitoring, and automation
Familiarity with bash scripting and Linux‑based automation workflows

Ways to stand out from the crowd

Background in deploying or maintaining embedded test automation systems, including HIL rigs or ECU validation setups
Experience with real‑time operating systems (RTOS) or embedded firmware development
Exposure to manufacturing test environments for automotive ECUs, embedded boards, or in‑vehicle compute modules
Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and infrastructure‑as‑code tools such as Terraform or Ansible
Passion for building robust CI/CD pipelines and developer‑facing infrastructure for embedded systems

Bonus Qualifications – Agentic AI Tools & Intelligent Automation

Lucid is increasingly leveraging agentic AI systems to accelerate development, automate complex workflows, and enhance test intelligence. Experience with any of the following is a strong plus:

Building or integrating AI‑driven DevOps agents for automated debugging, test generation, or pipeline optimization
Experience with LLM‑powered tools for code analysis, anomaly detection, or automated documentation
Familiarity with AI‑assisted test case generation, including reinforcement‑learning‑based or model‑based testing
Experience using or developing autonomous agents that interact with CI/CD systems, embedded hardware, or cloud infrastructure
Knowledge of AI‑driven observability platforms for predictive monitoring, log intelligence, or automated root‑cause analysis
Understanding of agent orchestration frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, or similar tools
Experience integrating AI agents with automotive workflows such as ECU flashing, HIL orchestration, or embedded diagnostics
