Sr. Camera Engineer

About the role

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. The ADAS Sensing team is responsible for the camera and sensing hardware that supplies the primary environmental inputs for Lucid's driver-assistance systems. Across the full product lifecycle, the team manages requirements, electrical and mechanical design, optical and vehicle integration, supplier execution, validation, and production support. It works closely with Perception Software, Systems, Functional Safety, Optical Engineering, Vehicle Integration, Manufacturing, and Quality. The quality and availability of camera hardware have a direct impact on safety, feature performance, and program timing.
