Tesla Motors, Inc.
Software Engineer, Code Hardening & Framework Resilience, Robotaxi
Tesla Motors, Inc., Palo Alto, California, United States, 94306
What to Expect
The goal of Full-Self-Driving (FSD) isn't just to get it working - it's to make it more dependable than any human driver could ever be. Miles-per-intervention is the key metric we look at to measure this, and our primary focus is keeping that number as high as possible while Robotaxi expands globally. Achieving this requires wiping out every bug as quickly as possible, regardless of how rare its occurrence on the road may be. When issues are identified, we must analyze why tests missed them, devise innovative detection methods through tooling, and rigorously stress-test fixes to eliminate vulnerabilities.
In this role, you'll be responsible for building critical program analysis tools (fuzzers, compiler instrumentation passes, run-time monitoring components, static analysis) to catch these bugs before they reach the fleet. You'll work with a lean team of experienced developers in improving code health, boosting fault tolerance, and enabling extensive end-to-end testing. These efforts will underpin system safety, driving Robotaxi's scalability as a direct result.
What You'll Do
Take ownership of tooling software to preemptively find issues and improve miles-per-intervention
Integrate & maintain static analysis and other library hardening tools (sanitizers, clang-tidy, fuzzers)
Enhance fault tolerance and improve/design new redundancy-aware frameworks in mature autonomous systems
Collaborate with other teams to understand the current architecture and propose/implement future improvements to boost code reliability & robustness
What You'll Bring
Proficiency with C++, including modern C++ (17/20/23)
Prior industry/research experience with compilers, program analysis, fuzzing, or static analysis is a plus
Familiarity with Bazel and knowledge of build systems is a plus
Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Physics, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or proof of exceptional skills in related fields with practical software engineering experience, or equivalent experience
Compensation and Benefits Benefits
Aetna PPO and HSA plans > 2 medical plan options with $0 payroll deduction
Family-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefits
Dental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both have options with a $0 paycheck contribution
Company Paid (Health Savings Account) HSA Contribution when enrolled in the High Deductible Aetna medical plan with HSA
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 to include: 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 $132,000 - $300,000/annual salary + cash and stock awards + benefits
Pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package for this position may also include other elements dependent on the position offered. Details of participation in these benefit plans will be provided if an employee receives an offer of employment.
