Job Description:

Lucid Motors is seeking a visionary and technically accomplished Architect to lead Infotainment and Embedded Telecommunications Systems. This critical leadership role will drive the architecture of our infotainment platform and vehicle Connectivity systems in the context of Software-Defined-Vehicle (SDV) with a focus on performance security, and next-generation innovation.

The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in connected vehicle technologies, communication protocols, Infotainment services, and advanced Connectivity architectures. You will define and deliver the architectural blueprints for hardware and software components across platform variants, ensuring scalability, seamless integration, and alignment with Lucid's strategic SDV technology vision.

Lucid is redefining mobility through pioneering Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) technology. We're building next-generation infotainment and connectivity platforms that push the boundaries of innovation from secure OTA updates and intelligent data routing to advanced communication protocols. Join a fast-paced, collaborative environment where you'll work with industry experts committed to transforming the future of connected vehicles.

You Will:

• Lead the architecture and implementation of the In-Vehicle Infotainment System.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with UX/UI, Acoustic engineers, Display engineers, ADAS, Control, software/hardware, cybersecurity, and infrastructure teams and third-party partners.
• Lead the design and optimization of audio signal routing and its integration with infotainment. Define and implement DSP solutions for audio tuning, noise cancellation, and in-cabin sound enhancement. Ensure real-time performance across DSP cores with low-latency and robust operation.
• Architect and lead the benchmarking and optimization of the graphics pipeline for high-performance rendering across in-vehicle displays. Ensure synchronization, energy efficiency, and integration with Android Automotive, hypervisors, and other embedded platforms.
• Interface with the Safety Island subsystem to ensure fail-safe communication pathways and graceful degradation of infotainment-critical functions under fault conditions.
• Lead the integration and application of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Neural Processing Unit (NPU) architectures within the infotainment system to enable intelligent, context-aware in-cabin experiences and edge-based inference.
• Architect and implement the vehicle's embedded Connectivity module (apps, middleware, and firmware). Ensure integration with OTA, eCall, ECU communication, and future connectivity systems.
• Lead the implementation of the eCall system architecture in compliance with global standards (EU Regulation 2015/758, NG112, NENA i3).
• Design and implement robust, secure, and scalable OTA frameworks for remote software, firmware, and telematics updates.
• Develop efficient communication routing architecture for low-latency, high-reliability operation across vehicle systems.
• Enforce secure and isolated communication pathways across infotainment and Connectivity systems to uphold cybersecurity, data privacy, and safety.
• Provide mentorship and technical guidance to engineering teams, while fostering a culture of innovation and continuous learning.

You Bring:

• 10+ years of experience in automotive telecommunication system design, mobile development, or related fields.
• Proven expertise in developing vehicle infotainment and communication architectures, including embedded vehicle gateways.
• Experience in embedded and mobile development in Android, including AAOS, AOSP, and iOS platforms.
• Deep understanding of automotive communication protocols (e.g., CAN, LIN, Ethernet, etc.) and telecommunication standards (e.g., 5G, LTE, Bluetooth).
• Experience with eCall systems and understanding of regulatory compliance in different regions (e.g., EU, NA).
• Strong knowledge of telecommunications architecture and wireless communication protocols as applied to automotive systems.
• Expertise in designing secure and scalable systems for OTA software updates in a vehicle environment.
• Knowledge of cloud-based solutions, edge computing, and telematics platforms for intelligent routing and secure data transmission
• Strong technical leadership with the ability to influence product direction, champion new technologies, and provide clear strategic guidance.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with senior engineers, cross-functional teams, and executives to drive initiatives to successful completion.
• Proficiency in mobile application development and backend integration.
• In-depth knowledge of automotive telematics and infotainment systems, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications (e.g. GNSS + eCall).
• Familiarity with embedded systems, real-time OS, and vehicle architecture.
• Exceptional problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to navigate complex technical challenges

Great to Have:

• Experience mobile development that supports vehicle telematics, mobile-based controls, diagnostic systems, and integration with telecommunication modules.

Education Requirements:

• Master's degree in electrical engineering, software engineering, telecommunications, or a related technical field, or equivalent work experience in a similar role.
• Ph.D. preferred, particularly with a focus on infotainment and connectivity.
