Product Manager, Charging & Energy Platform

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.

 

You will collaborate closely with system engineers, software architects, embedded teams, cloud services teams, experience product manager’s and external standards bodies to define and deliver a scalable, compliant, and future-ready platform that enables AC/DC charging, bi-directional energy flow, grid interoperability, certification readiness, and more.

 

Responsibilities

Platform Vision & Strategy

• Define the platform roadmap for charging and V2X capabilities, aligning with vehicle programs, hardware roadmaps, and energy products.
• Develop a platform conceptual architecture that spans vehicle systems, wallbox/charger systems, cloud services, and grid interfaces.
• Translate regulatory, standardization, and interoperability requirements into platform-level capabilities.

Technical & System Leadership

• Work closely with systems engineering to define end‑to‑end system behavior, interface contracts, and architectural diagrams.
• Collaborate with embedded software, firmware, power electronics, and cloud engineering teams to ensure robust and scalable implementation.
• Drive cross-functional alignment on platform APIs, communication pathways, and protocol stacks.

Standards & Compliance Expertise

• Serve as the internal subject matter expert for key charging and energy standards, including:
• ISO 15118-2, ISO 15118-20 (Plug & Charge, V2X, ACDP, SLAC, communication stacks)
• IEEE 1547 (interconnection requirements for distributed energy resources)
• SAE J2847/J2931/J3072 (EV–grid communication, V2G interconnection)
• OCPP, UL, NEC, and other EV charging and grid-related frameworks
• Ensure platform designs meet certification and interoperability requirements (e.g., UL, CSA, ISO conformance, grid operator rules).

Execution & Delivery

• Write clear product specifications, platform requirements, and interface definitions.
• Prioritize features using customer value, engineering feasibility, architecture constraints, and compliance timelines.
• Support testing strategy for interoperability, conformance, and real-world charging/V2X scenarios.
• Participate in technical deep dives, issue triage, and platform validation.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Partner with hardware teams on charger, inverter, and power electronics roadmaps.
• Ensure seamless integration with energy management systems, telematics, and cloud services.
• Work with external partners (utilities, standards bodies, certification labs, charger manufacturers) to ensure platform interoperability and validation.

 

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related technical field.
• 5+ years of experience in technical product management, systems engineering, or platform architecture in EV charging, energy, or automotive domains.
• Proven experience working with ISO 15118-2/-20, IEEE 1547, or other key EV/V2X protocols.
• Strong understanding of EV architectures, onboard charger systems, high-voltage domains, or DER interconnection requirements.
• Ability to create conceptual and logical architecture diagrams, system requirement specifications, and platform-level documentation.
• Strong analytical and communication skills; comfortable leading technical discussions.

Preferred

• Experience with bidirectional charging systems (V2H, V2G, V2L).
• Familiarity with DERMS, energy management platforms, or inverter technologies.
• Experience with interoperability testing (CharIN, UL, CSA, utility sandboxes).
• Background in cloud‑connected energy services, IoT communication stacks, or charging network systems.
• Ability to influence engineering execution while maintaining a strong platform mindset.

 

What Success Looks Like

• A scalable, extensible, standards-compliant charging & V2X platform architecture.
• Strong partnerships with engineering teams and clear technical documentation.
• Smooth interoperability across chargers, utilities, grid programs, and future energy features.
• A roadmap that future-proofs the platform for emerging charging standards and technologies.
