Role summary
A senior technical leader responsible for defining, integrating, and sustaining manufacturing test strategies across Lucid's electric powertrain systems, including traction inverters, Drive Units, and high-voltage battery assemblies. The role focuses on systems-level test ownership, ensuring alignment of test architecture, data strategy, safety standards, and validation methodology across powertrain commodities while partnering closely with commodity-level test engineers, Design Engineering, Controls, Quality, Production, and external equipment suppliers.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the manufacturing test technical authority for powertrain systems, providing oversight and direction across inverter, Drive Unit, and battery test architectures.
- Review and approve powertrain-level test strategies, specifications, and major change requests from Design Engineering, ensuring consistency, manufacturability, and scalability across commodities.
- Define common test principles for end-of-line (EOL) and in-process testing, including test sequencing philosophy, limit strategies, failure-mode handling, safety requirements, and data traceability.
- Guide and review test system designs to ensure alignment in HV/LV safety, grounding, shielding, thermal considerations, and connectorization standards across all powertrain stations.
- Provide technical mentorship and design oversight to commodity-focused test engineers (Inverter, DU, Battery) during system development, commissioning, and production ramp.
- Lead technical reviews for externally supplied powertrain test equipment.
