Software Engineer - ADAS Behavior Planning and Integration

## Role - Behavior Planning: Build and improve behavior planning logic for urban driving, auto parking, and safety features. This includes state machines, mode arbitration, feature activation/abort conditions, and fault handling. - Multi-ECU SW Integration: Integrate ADAS application software across multiple ECUs and embedded Linux platforms. Handle interface definitions, signal mapping, timing, and data flow between domains. - Requirements to Code: Break system-level ADAS requirements down into software tasks and keep the implementation traceable to those requirements. - SW Testing & Validation: Validate software through unit tests, SIL/HIL, test benches, and on-vehicle testing. Support vehicle builds and field operational tests (FOTs). - Cross-functional Collaboration: Work with perception, motion planning & control, vehicle controls, HMI, systems, and validation teams to deliver features end to end. - Release Support: Contribute to software releases, interface change management, and documentation. Track work in Jira with clear, reproducible results. ## Required Qualifications - B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Robotics, or a related field. - 0–3 years of relevant industry or research experience in ADAS/AD, robotics, or embedded systems. - Strong C++ programming skills and a solid grasp of software engineering fundamentals. - Experience developing and debugging on Linux, and with Git-based workflows. - Basic understanding of vehicle dynamics, state machines, or decision-making logic for autonomous systems. - Strong debugging skills, eagerness to learn, and clear communication. ## Preferred Qualifications - Experience with embedded or automotive platforms (e.g., NVIDIA Orin, Infineon Aurix) or multi-ECU architectures. - Familiarity with middleware such as ROS/ROS 2, DDS, or SOME/IP. - Python for tooling, log analysis, or test automation. - Hands-on project experience in urban driving, parking, or active safety features (e.g., AEB). ## Compensation and Benefits Base Pay Range (Annual): $134,700–$185,240 USD. Lucid offers a comprehensive and competitive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision insurance; life and disability coverage; paid time off; paid holidays; paid sick leave; and a 401(k) retirement plan.
