Sr. Manufacturing Test Engineer - Battery

Lucid Motors

The Senior Manufacturing Test Engineer Battery will play a lead role in developing, launching, and sustaining automated test systems for Lucid s high voltage battery module and battery pack manufacturing lines. This role is central to EV energy storage validation and focuses on in process and end of line (EOL) testing to ensure safety, performance, reliability, and traceability of battery systems. The engineer will work closely with Design Engineering, Controls, Quality, Production, and external equipment suppliers to deliver robust, scalable, and data driven test solutions.

You Will:

• Review and approve battery test specifications and change requests from design engineering, acting as the manufacturing test authority for battery cells (as applicable), modules, and packs.
• Analyze and provide feedback on test sequences, limits, cycle time, process flow, and failure mode handling for battery EOL and sub assembly test stations.
• Design and own test system hardware for battery testing, including system layout, cabinet and rack design, HV/LV routing, connectorization, shielding, grounding, and thermal considerations for high energy systems.
• Develop modular and scalable test applications with clear operator interfaces for battery testing, including test sequencing, parameter management, fault messaging, and data logging.
• Implement databases to manage battery test parameters, serial level results, genealogy, and traceability across modules and packs.
• Define DUT handling, fixturing, and electrical/mechanical interfaces for battery test stations, including automated connections and high voltage safety interlocks.
• Collaborate with controls engineers to integrate test applications with station PLCs, material handling systems, and safety systems, including responses to electrical, thermal, and safety critical failure modes.
• Lead sourcing, RFQs, supplier selection, build tracking, and technical oversight for externally supplied battery test equipment.
• Develop and execute commissioning and validation plans for battery test systems, including GR&R, red rabbit units, fault injection, and simulation of electrical, thermal, and communication failures.
• Launch battery test systems into production and provide on floor support during ramp, including limit tuning, yield improvement, and false fail reduction.
• Train maintenance and operations teams on battery test station operation, error recovery, and safe troubleshooting of high voltage systems.
• Partner with factory data and analytics teams to enable battery test data visualization, yield tracking, degradation analysis, and long term quality monitoring.
