Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJean-Philippe Gauthier is a Vice President - Digital (Interim) and seasoned vehicle controls engineer with 13 years of experience designing and delivering automotive powertrain, body control, and low-voltage communication architectures. He blends a B.Eng. in Computer Engineering with an M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering to apply model-based design, auto-coding and rigorous diagnostics—often leading calibration and integration efforts that prioritize robustness and long-term product health. At Lucid Motors he has progressed from powertrain control engineer to senior technical fellow and now interim VP, steering cross-functional teams on ECU architecture, safety-oriented diagnostics, and integration practices. He also contributes to the DFIR/open-source community—extending malware intelligence feeds in the Malcom project—demonstrating attention to detail and a security-minded perspective uncommon in automotive controls. Outside work he’s a self-described “real car guy” who still repairs vehicles for fun, reflecting hands-on mechanical instincts that inform his systems-level approach.
