Your Role:- Design, develop, and maintain scalable automation frameworks and tooling to orchestrate ADAS/AD SIL (Software-in-Loop) and HIL (Hardware-in-Loop) simulations, including test execution, result collection, and reporting.
- Design and maintain tooling for large-scale regression execution, including scheduling, failure triage, log management, and metrics extraction.
- Support scenario-based validation by enabling tooling for scenario configuration, parameterization, execution, and result evaluation.
- Be responsible for creating tools for creating data visualizations either from scratch or leveraging open-source solutions such as Foxglove
- Update and maintain the automation tools based on feedback from users of the HIL and SIL system
- Develop an understanding of HIL and SIL simulation setup for L2++ and L3 ADAS/AD driving, safety, and parking functions
- Develop, maintain, and scale CI/CD pipelines for ADAS simulation workflows (e.g., per-commit smoke tests, nightly regressions), including integration with version control, build systems, and simulation farms.
- Monitor pipeline health, reduce execution time, and improve overall simulation reliability and debuggability.
- Support HIL and SIL development as necessary
- Work with suppliers as necessary and represent Lucid ADAS systems validation team.
Expectations:- Very good understanding of software development for automation tools, post-processing and application development
- Highly proficient in Python; working knowledge of MATLAB for analysis, modeling, and automation
- Working experience with object-oriented software design and API development
- Experience and comfort working with data from different sources and in different formats
- Strong experience working in Linux-based development environments, including shell scripting and automation
- Experience with containerization and environment management (Docker or similar)
- Basic understanding of ADAS/AD features or other physical systems
- Capability and creativity to successfully complete projects with unconventional ideas in highly constrained, innovative startup environments
- Excellent communication skills (verbal and written) & ownership mindset
Advantageous / Preferred Qualifications:- Previous experience working in HIL and SIL setups for validating ADAS features at OEM or Tier 1
- Experience managing large volumes of simulation data, logs, and performance metrics
- Experience with C++ for simulation interfaces or performance-critical tooling
- Experience with scenario standards and formats such as OpenSCENARIO and OpenDRIVE
- Experience integrating simulation tools with ROS2 or similar middleware
- Understanding of SOTIF, ISO 26262, NCAP
- Broad understanding of various ADAS/AD systems and the interactions between mechanical, electrical and software components within the system
- Proficiency with agile development tools and environments (Jira, Jama, ...)
Requirements:- BS minimum in System Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or similar and 3+ years of engineering experience in the automotive industry OR
- MS minimum in System Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or similar and 1+ years of engineering experience in the automotive industry
