We are currently seeking a System Modeling Engineer for the HV Systems Team. This position requires an experienced professional with a strong understanding of modeling high voltage battery systems, thermal management, cells and the challenges of optimizing these for a specific application. Our ideal candidate exhibits a can-do attitude and approaches their work with vigor and determination. 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.Role:Be part of a passionate and highly driven team of multi-disciplinary engineers developing the next generation of Lucid's HV System Develop numerical models of physical systems, and optimization tools to assess electrical and thermal performance of the HV battery and power electronics. Develop and/or use existing simulation tools to support control and hardware development for HV design, charging, high performance driving scenarios, and other challenging thermal scenarios. Work closely with the vehicle simulation team to integrate HV system models into the vehicle models with appropriate revision control and release notes. Provide support in strategy, design, simulation and validation by closely working with applications, battery, power electronics, hardware, and testing teams. Develop simulation tools and propose control strategies to balance efficiency, power, and thermal capabilities against costs for our current products and future product roadmap. Build tools to support the pre-processing of simulation parameters and the post-processing of simulation results. Qualifications:A proven track record of technical excellence in systems modelling and simulation 2+ years of experience using modeling and simulation tools like MATLAB, Simulink, and other specialized tools Thorough understanding of modeling techniques used to simulate lithium-ion cells, battery packs, power electronics and thermal systems Capability of processing and documenting results in a concise and elegant fashion to successfully communicate information to the team and other departments Strong experience in scripting simulation workflows with varying availability of documentation Experience of resolving issues through appropriate analysis and design modifications Excellent communication skills in both technical and non-technical environments Ownership mindset, enthusiasm, and a collaborative spiritPreferred:Experience with HIL and SIL testing In-depth understanding of battery technology, power electronicsand simulation techniques Additional fields of experience (thermal, electromagnetics, material science) Some knowledge of scripting for simulation process automation Experience using Python Strong understanding of the interactions between the HV system and other vehicle subsystems Experience with revision control tools, such as git/svn Education:BS (and preferably MS or PhD) in a relevant engineering discipline
