The Sr. Manufacturing Test Engineer will play a lead role in advancing Lucid’s goal of being a highly automated manufacturing company. They will work closely with external equipment suppliers and internal teams including Engineering, Quality, Production, and Maintenance to design, program, test, and commission complex automated test systems.

• Review and approve Test Specifications and change requests from the design engineering team. Act as the manufacturing engineering representative to analyze and provide feedback on test sequence and parameters, cycle time, process flow for various test failure modes, etc.
• Design test system hardware to implement test requirements. This includes system layout, component selection, cabinet/rack design, selection and sizing of connectors and cables, with consideration for heat loads, electrical noise, and ease of access for troubleshooting
• Develop modular test applications with intuitive and informative GUIs. Utilize databases to store test parameters and log test data. Implement user access control to allow modifying test sequences and parameters from the GUI
• Provide inputs to test station design including DUT handling and connection methods. Specify test application interface with station control system. Collaborate with controls engineers to develop overall station sequence, and responses to different failure modes
• Manage test equipment sourcing, build, and validation by internal and external teams. For externally sourced equipment, create RFQs, select suppliers and track their progress to ensure timely delivery
• Develop commissioning and validation plans for test equipment including Gauge Reliability and Repeatability tests, red-rabbits, and injection/simulation of various failure modes
• Launch test systems on manufacturing lines. Collaborate with cross functional teams to monitor functionality and performance. Train maintenance and operations teams on error recovery and troubleshooting techniques. Collaborate with factory data visualization teams on creating dashboards

• Bachelor’s, Masters, or PhD Degree in Engineering required (Preferred Electrical or Electronics Engineering)
• 5+ years of experience developing automated test equipment for manufacturing
• Experience in launching automated test systems on high volume manufacturing lines
• Experience in testing electric vehicle powertrain components is a plus
• Detailed knowledge of electrical & electronics circuits and components, cables and connectors
• Ability to design electrical schematics using AutoCAD or Eplan
• Knowledge and experience in developing test system hardware using National Instruments platforms such as PXI, cDAQ, cRIO
• Expertise in developing test application software using one or more software tools such as NI LabVIEW, NI Test Stand, NI Veristand,…
