Staff ADAS Calibration Engineer

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.

We are seeking a Staff Calibration Engineer to join our ADAS Data Team. In this role, you will be responsible for developing, executing, and refining both intrinsic and extrinsic calibration pipelines for multi-sensor ADAS platforms. You will work with high-resolution cameras, LiDARs, radars, and other vehicle-mounted sensors to ensure accurate sensor fusion and data alignment for perception and mapping tasks.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role where you’ll collaborate with data collection, perception, and mapping teams to deliver high-quality calibrated datasets at scale.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement intrinsic calibration workflows for mono and stereo cameras (pinhole and fisheye models), including distortion modeling.
• Develop extrinsic calibration pipelines between camera, LiDAR, radar, IMU, and GNSS sensors.
• Perform both offline and online calibration using checkerboards, ArUco tags, PnP, ICP, and bundle adjustment techniques.
• Lead the development of automated and scalable calibration validation tools using reprojection errors, overlay accuracy, and alignment metrics.
• Collaborate with data collection and annotation teams to provide calibration configurations and verify in-field data quality.
• Own the calibration database, including versioning, health monitoring, and configuration tracking.
• Develop simulation/test frameworks to evaluate the impact of calibration errors on perception and localization modules.
• Train and mentor junior engineers in calibration theory and practice.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Vision, Robotics, or related field.
• 8+ years of hands-on experience with camera intrinsic calibration (e.g., OpenCV, Kalibr). 6+ years of experience required with a master’s degree.
• 5+ years of experience with extrinsic calibration between heterogeneous sensors (e.g., LiDAR-camera, radar-camera).
• Proficiency in Python and C++, with experience using OpenCV, ROS, NumPy, SciPy.
• Strong understanding of coordinate transformations, projection models, and rigid body kinematics.
• Experience working with large-scale ADAS/AV data collection platforms.
• Familiarity with calibration challenges on rolling shutter cameras, spinning LiDARs, and mobile platforms.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with deep learning-assisted auto-calibration methods.
• Exposure to sensor timestamp synchronization and time delay estimation.
• Background in sensor fusion, SLAM, or visual odometry.
• Experience with cloud-based tooling for calibration storage and retrieval.
• Knowledge of calibration for fleet-scale deployments.
