Tesla Motors, Inc.
Software Integration Engineer, Suspension, Vehicle Software
Tesla Motors, Inc., Palo Alto, California, United States, 94306
What to Expect
The suspension system defines the ride and handling of the vehicle. It is core to the driving experience of a Tesla. We use ride height controls and corner level damping controls to influence the character of the car. We are looking for a software integration engineer for suspension software development, to lead the development of current and future suspension software across all our current production roadmap from Model S and X to Semi to the Roadster. As a software integration engineer, you will define the system and software requirements, prototype and evaluate software - both on a bench and in-vehicle, and lead the release of this software through rigorous validation. You will work directly with hardware, vehicle dynamics, and electrical systems teams to shape the suspension roadmap. An integration engineer is a generalist position where you will contribute across various aspects like writing code, physics modeling, controls, in-vehicle debugging, and program management. You will also support manufacturing readiness for new suspension introductions and support service for fleet issue diagnostics. If you are excited about working at the intersection of software, electronics, and mechanics, then this is the role for you. Come join an industry-leading team that solves challenging problems that span safety-critical software, embedded systems, motor controls, electronic actuation, and vehicle dynamics. Help us accelerate the world\'s transition to sustainable energy by shaping the driving experience of our electric vehicles. What You'll Do
Lead architecture design decisions spanning software, hardware, electronics, manufacturing, and service Arrive at sensor, actuator, and compute requirements Bring up software to evaluate various prototype hardware and PCBAs Develop frameworks and tests to evaluate actuator performance Perform system safety analyses like FMEAs and FTAs to derive safety requirements Work with test engineers to design validation and rollout strategies Own the sign-off for production software sent over-the-air update to customer vehicles Travel to suppliers around the world to evaluate teams, technologies, work on program roadmaps, and unblock hot topics for development What You'll Bring
Bachelor\'s Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or similar areas of study, or equivalent experience Proficiency in C, familiarity with MISRA C and Python are a plus Knowledge of microcontroller peripherals such as ADC, GPIO, PWM and SPI Experience with reading electrical schematics and understanding circuit behavior Experience working with sensors and digital signal processing Familiarity with control loops and PID controllers Familiarity with field-oriented motor control and permanent magnet motors a plus Knowledge of version control (Git) and continuous integration strategies are a plus Prior experience with vehicle physics, real-time embedded software development, or electro-mechanical actuation is preferred Compensation and Benefits
Benefits
Along with competitive pay, as a full-time Tesla employee, you are eligible for the following benefits at day 1 of hire: Aetna PPO and HSA plans with multiple options and $0 payroll deduction Family-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefits Dental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both with options with $0 paycheck contribution Company Paid HSA contribution when enrolled in the high deductible medical plan Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) 401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefits Company paid Basic Life, AD&D, short-term and long-term disability insurance Employee Assistance Program Sick and Vacation time (Flex time for salary positions), and Paid Holidays Back-up childcare and parenting support resources Voluntary benefits including critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insurance Weight Loss and Tobacco Cessation Programs Tesla Babies program Commuter benefits Employee discounts and perks program Expected Compensation
$111,200 - $433,680/annual salary + cash and stock awards + benefits
