Tesla Overview
The Low Voltage Power Firmware Team is responsible for power distribution and LV battery management systems (BMS) on vehicle platforms. As an engineer on this team, you will validate the quality and safety of the power management embedded firmware. This includes validating LV power redundancy and latent fault detection for by-wire and autonomous vehicles, vehicle fault and crash behaviors, power management for over-the-air updates (OTAs), and low/idle power modes and sleep features. You will architect and implement firmware validation procedures, equipment, tooling, and automation to efficiently test vehicle components and subsystems. You will work closely with development and integration engineers to design and validate the performance capabilities of our hardware and firmware to ensure code quality. Your effort to create and equip automated validation infrastructure and coverage reporting will impact safety, reliability, robustness, and value of our products. What You\'ll Do
Development of discrete simulation software including modeling of circuitry, hardware peripherals, and emulation of bare-metal drivers. (Python, Rust, C, Docker, Scons) Design of automated component-HIL testers for validation of power domain fault detection and power availability on steer-by-wire and autonomous platforms (Python, Jenkins) Collaborate with development and integration engineers to design robust, automated test strategies to meet safety and homologation requirements Leverage a deep understanding of vehicle system behaviors to evaluate code and functional changes holistically, mitigate risk, and provide high-quality feedback throughout the product lifecycle Drive innovation, quality and performance of vehicle software by pioneering novel validation infrastructure and tooling, and by enhancing simulation engine fidelity and user experience Scale existing validation coverage and optimize build efficiency to leverage cluster computing resources Explore methods to measure and metrics to evaluate the quality, coverage, and traceability of automated regression tests What You\'ll Bring
Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience Minimum of 1 year of relevant experience (embedded design/validation) Proficiency in Python; comprehension of C; experience with Rust and Verilog preferred Expertise testing devices and debugging hardware (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, DMM) Desire to improve code robustness and design testing infrastructure Ability to think creatively and produce “outside of the box” solutions Experience in electronic and systems schematic design & capture (Altium Designer) preferred Experience designing or interfacing with Hardware/Software-in-the-loop (HIL/SIL) test setups preferred Knowledge of source control (Git), CI via GitHub, Docker, Jenkins preferred Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and hardware datasheets Benefits and Compensation
Expected Compensation: $133,440 - $246,720 annual salary + cash and stock awards + benefits. Pay may vary based on location, knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package may include other elements. Details will be provided to offers of employment. Aetna PPO and HSA plans with multiple medical options Family-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefits Dental and vision plans with low or zero employee contributions Company-paid HSA contribution when enrolled in the HDHP 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 Life, AD&D, short- and long-term disability insurance Employee Assistance Program Sick and vacation time, plus holidays Parental resources and back-up childcare Voluntary benefits (critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident, etc.) Weight loss and tobacco cessation programs Tesla Babies program Commuter benefits Employee discounts and perks Seniority level
