Tesla Motors, Inc.
Sr. Embedded Firmware Development Engineer
Tesla Motors, Inc., Palo Alto, California, United States, 94306
What to Expect
The Tesla's Sensing Team is looking for a stellar Senior Embedded Firmware Development Engineer with expertise in developing real-time embedded software implementing highly advanced signal processing and machine learning algorithms using C/C++ and with scripting/tooling using Matlab/Python. The main responsibility of this role is to deliver high-quality, robust, rigorously tested, and maintainable production-grade embedded application firmware for various systems covering sensors in a car assisting the autopilot system. The candidate should be able to use embedded system tools and troubleshoot and debug hard issues using first principles. The candidate is also expected to get hands dirty in the details of their sub-systems—digging through source code, root-causing issues, and proposing solutions to complex problems, as well as testing prototype firmware implementations in-lab and in-vehicle. More than half of the development time is spent on performing rigorous testing and validation of software.
What You'll Do
Develop and automate test and verification/validation involving building test suite from scratch to continuous regression using Matlab/Python/C and C++ Design, development, and analysis of system and software architectures for various sensing systems Writing, testing, and debugging embedded firmware developed using C/C++ running on target devices Evaluate various existing and new sensor technologies for next generation sensor systems by bringing up prototype software and testing in lab Hands-on testing work such as testing of sensor systems in laboratory and in-car drives Writing software requirements, test cases, reviewing requirements and code, etc. Mentoring other team members and interns Collaborate with a broad range of cross-functional teams including mechanical, software, program management, and senior leadership
What You'll Bring
Bachelor's Degree in Computer or Electrical Engineering or related field or equivalent experience Minimum 5+ years of experience in embedded C/C++ coding for embedded system development Minimum 5+ years of experience in Python/Matlab for scripting and testing of embedded systems implementing DSP and ML algorithms, and data analysis Experience with using real time embedded OS such as FreeRTOS, as well as Linux Working knowledge of device drivers for microcontroller peripherals (SPI, I2C, UART, DMA, IRQ, USB, timers, ADCs, DACs, Flash, etc.) Experience with automotive CAN and CAN-FD interface Experience working with Docker, GIT, toolchains (GNU, IAR, etc.), bootloaders, linkers scripts Working knowledge of board bring-up, profiling, JTAG/SWD debugging, Dedi-prog, etc. Knowledge of basic DSP building blocks (FIR, IIR, FFT, etc.) preferred Ability to troubleshoot hardware using logic analyzers, oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers
Compensation and Benefits
Benefits Aetna PPO and HSA plans with two medical plan options and $0 payroll deduction Family-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefits Dental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both with $0 paycheck contribution Company-paid Health Savings Account (HSA) contribution when enrolled in the High Deductible Aetna 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 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
$133,440 - $292,800 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.
