Technical Specialist, NVH

About Lucid

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.

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Engineer to join our NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) team. This role will focus on advanced SEA modeling, simulation, acoustic testing and sound pack development to support the refinement of cabin and interior acoustic performance across our next-generation electric vehicles.

You will need to be focused on delivering excellent performance to our customers, strong self-starters, team collaborators, excellent problem solvers, with an ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

Responsibilities

• Deliver the full-vehicle acoustic package for world-class NVH performance while balancing mass, packaging and cost.
• Lead the development and execution of SEA models for full vehicle and subsystem acoustic simulations (e.g., BIW, closures, powertrain, ancillaries).
• Develop and validate acoustic treatment solutions (heavy layer, absorbers) through simulation and testing.
• Interpret SEA simulation results to guide design decisions and optimize vehicle acoustic performance.
• Work closely with vehicle integration, body, powertrain, and thermal teams to embed acoustic considerations into system-level designs.
• Support target setting and cascade process for vehicle-level sound package performance.
• Correlate SEA models with physical test data and contribute to model validation efforts.
• Perform, at a vehicle and component level, testing and assessments to improve airborne noise performance in prototypes and production vehicles.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering, Acoustics, Physics, or related field. Master’s or PhD preferred.
• Generally, requires 8+ years of relevant experience for an NVH Technical Specialist and 5+ years of relevant experience for a Senior NVH Engineer.
• Experience in acoustic package development and optimization (sound transmission loss & sound absorption coefficient)
• Proficiency in Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) for high frequency airborne noise simulation with ESI VA One and/or MSC Actran.
• Strong fundamental understanding of digital signal processing, psychoacoustics, and the use of sound quality metrics to record, track and report NVH performance.
• Preferred
• Previous experience taking a vehicle from concept to production.
• Experience in NVH characterization and fault detection using microphones, accelerometers, acoustic cameras, particle velocity probes, etc..
• Experience of Siemens TestLab and/or Artemis Suite.
• Past experience with wind noise and/or HVAC noise development.
• At Lucid, we don’t just welcome diversity - we celebrate it! Lucid Motors is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, national or ethnic origin, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity and expression, marital status, and any other characteristic protected under applicable State or Federal laws and regulations.
