Job Description
Summary: Lucid Motors is a leader in luxury electric vehicles aiming to redefine the future of mobility. They are seeking a highly motivated Electrical Engineering intern to support the experimental characterization of electrical machines and perform data analysis using MATLAB/Simulink and Python.
Responsibilities:
- Plan and execute electrical machine characterization tests, including torque‑speed and efficiency mapping
- Conduct loss and thermal measurements across operating conditions
- Support instrumentation and data acquisition, working with power analyzers, torque sensors, speed sensors, thermocouples/RTDs, and DAQ systems
- Ensure data quality through calibration checks, repeatability validation, filtering, and documentation
- Develop MATLAB/Simulink and Python scripts for signal processing, data cleaning, visualization, and reporting
- Extract key KPIs such as efficiency, loss breakdowns, harmonics/THD, and thermal steady‑state behavior
- Assist with surrogate modeling, uncertainty quantification, and ML‑based analytics for performance and loss prediction
- Gain experience performing high‑quality electrical machine testing and translating data into engineering insights
- Opportunity to build MATLAB and Python toolchains used in production engineering workflows
- Exposure to advanced modeling techniques, including surrogate models and uncertainty quantification
Required Qualifications:
- Strong background in electrical engineering, with focus on electrical machines and drives
- Hands‑on experience with electrical machine testing or experimental lab work
- Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink and Python for data analysis and automation
Preferred Qualifications:
- Familiarity with one or more of the following: Efficiency mapping and loss segregation (copper, iron, mechanical losses)
- Frequency‑domain analysis (FFT, harmonic analysis) and sensor calibration
- Statistical methods and basic uncertainty estimation
- Interest in surrogate modeling, UQ, or ML‑enabled engineering workflows
Required Skills: Electrical Engineering, Electrical Machines Testing, Electrical Machine Characterization, Data Analysis, MATLAB, Simulink, Python, Efficiency Mapping, Loss Segregation, Frequency-Domain Analysis, Sensor Calibration, Statistical Methods, Uncertainty Quantification, Machine Learning
