Senior Systems Engineer, Charging Systems

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. Position Overview: At Lucid, charging is not just a feature - it is a defining product attribute that blends high-voltage technology, system architecture, and customer experience into a seamless, industry-leading vehicle capability. We are currently seeking Senior Systems Engineer, Charging Systems, to be part of a passionate, highly driven multi-disciplinary engineering team developing next-generation high-voltage(HV) systems and architectures. The successful candidate will exhibit a clear understanding of electric vehicle charging system and development thereof. The candidate will be responsible for definition of Model Based Systems Engineering deliverables of one or more charging features of Lucid products. This role will contribute to world-class charging attributes (e.g., fast charge rates, efficiency, battery health optimization) that directly impact range, cost, and customer experience. The role will require cross-functional engagement with product management, vehicle engineering teams, software engineers, hardware engineers and verification and validation teams. A thorough understanding of system development lifecycle(s) is required to be successful in this role, gained through prior OEM or Tier 1 industry experience. Our ideal candidate exhibits a proactive, can-do attitude and approaches their work systematically with vigor, determination and accuracy. Candidates will be expected to demonstrate excellence in their respective fields, to possess the ability to learn quickly and to strive for perfection within a fast-paced environment. What you will do: • Lead the end-to-end capture and definition of requirements for advancing leading class vehicle charging features, collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders to shape cutting-edge EV experiences. • Shape charging system architectures using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), driving functional decomposition, signal definition, and cross-domain integration across vehicle systems. • Translate high-level feature concepts into robust, implementable subsystem and component-level requirements that enable precise vehicle functionality • Partner with Functional Safety Engineers to develop safety concepts, taking ownership of Technical Safety Concepts using proven methodologies such as FMEA and FTA • Drive alignment with verification & validation teams to define comprehensive test strategies and ensure successful execution against requirements • Collaborate closely with HV domain and software engineering teams to define, refine, and manage performance requirements for high-voltage system controls • Contribute to the development and execution of product-level validation plans, ensuring features meet performance, safety, and customer expectations • Investigate and resolve real-world vehicle charging issues through data-driven analysis, continuously enhancing system performance and user experience • Coordinate systems engineering lifecycle activities with program management to successfully deliver milestones and product releases on schedule • Champion continuous improvement of systems engineering practices, driving innovation and excellence across the organization What you bring: • 4+ years of experience delivering systems engineering solutions for automotive controls products in a production environment • 4+ years of hands-on application of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to drive design, analysis, and development workflows • Deep working knowledge of vehicle charging standards, including SAE J1772/J3400 and ISO 15118 • Experience with Automotive embedded electronic product development • Solid experience applying ISO 26262 to drive system requirements, architecture, and safety-driven design decisions • Demonstrated ability to manage and deliver across multiple vehicle programs simultaneously in a fast-paced environment • Strong data-driven problem-solving skills, with the ability to analyze and debug complex vehicle issues • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, able to convey complex technical concepts to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders • Highly detail-oriented with a disciplined approach to documentation, traceability, and reporting • Self-driven with a strong sense of ownership, a proactive mindset, and a collaborative approach to problem solving Ways to Standout: • Hands-on expertise with Cameo/Magic Cyber Systems Engineer and strong proficiency in SysML-based modeling • Proven experience applying FMEA and structured risk management methodologies in complex engineering environments • Solid understanding of electrical, electronic, and programmable systems, with the ability to connect system behavior to component-level design • Familiarity with AUTOSAR architecture and its application in modern automotive software platforms • INCOSE Systems Engineering certification (ASEP or CSEP), demonstrating a strong foundation in industry best practices Education Requirements: • Bachelor's degree in electrical engi
