Sr/Staff Machine Learning Algorithm Engineer, Autonomous Driving

Leading the future in luxury electric and mobility

At Lucid, we set out to introduce the most captivating, luxury electric vehicles that elevate the human

experience and transcend the perceived limitations of space, performance, and intelligence. Vehicles that are

intuitive, liberating, and designed for the future of mobility.

We plan to lead in this new era of luxury electric by returning to the fundamentals of great design – where

every decision we make is in service of the individual and environment. Because when you are no longer bound

by convention, you are free to define your own experience.

Come work alongside some of the most accomplished minds in the industry. Beyond providing competitive

salaries, we’re providing a community for innovators who want to make an immediate and significant impact. If

you are driven to create a better, more sustainable future, then this is the right place for you.
