Senior Motion Planning and Controls Engineer

5+ years of experience (with MS) or 3+ years (with PhD) in motion control or trajectory planning for ADAS/Autonomous Driving.

Deep knowledge of control system design and real-time implementation using modern control approaches (e.g., LQR, MPC).

Proven experience deploying lateral and longitudinal controllers in a production or research vehicle environment.

Proficiency in modeling and simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink).

Solid understanding of ADAS/AD systems, robotics, and vehicle dynamics.

Experience with middleware frameworks like ROS.

Motion Planning and Controls Engineer, you will play a key role in developing high-performance motion planning and control features for Lucid’s ADAS and autonomous driving systems.

You’ll work across software, hardware, and systems teams to ensure robust design, testing, and deployment of production-grade lateral and longitudinal control algorithms.

Design, prototype, test, and deploy motion planning and control algorithms for ADAS and autonomous driving systems.

Implement state-of-the-art approaches to trajectory planning, route planning, and real-time control.

Develop and tune classical and modern controllers (e.g., LQR, MPC, PID, Adaptive, Robust) for both lateral and longitudinal vehicle dynamics.

Conduct model-based design and validation using MATLAB/Simulink or equivalent tools.
