Sr. Embedded Firmware Development Engineer
Tesla, Palo Alto, California, United States, 94306
Sr. Embedded Firmware Development Engineer
Join to apply for the
Sr. Embedded Firmware Development Engineer
role at
Tesla .
What To Expect The Tesla Sensing Team seeks a senior embedded firmware engineer with expertise in real‑time embedded software, advanced signal processing and machine learning algorithms using C/C++ and scripting with Matlab/Python. The main responsibility is to deliver production‑grade embedded firmware for sensing systems that assist autopilot. The candidate should use embedded system tools, troubleshoot hard issues, and dive deep into sub‑systems: source code root‑causing, prototype firmware in‑lab and in‑vehicle, and rigorous testing and validation.
What You’ll Do
Develop and automate test suites and continuous regression using Matlab/Python/C++.
Design, develop, and analyze system and software architectures for sensing systems.
Write, test, and debug embedded firmware using C/C++ on target devices.
Evaluate new sensor technologies by prototyping software and lab testing.
Conduct lab and in‑car testing of sensor systems.
Write software requirements, test cases, review code, and requirements.
Mentor team members and interns.
Collaborate cross‑functional with mechanical, software, program management, and senior leadership.
What You’ll Bring
Bachelor’s degree in Computer or Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.
5+ years of embedded C/C++ coding experience.
5+ years of Python/Matlab scripting for DSP/ML and data analysis.
Experience with real‑time embedded OS (FreeRTOS, Linux).
Working knowledge of microcontroller peripherals (SPI, I2C, UART, DMA, IRQ, USB, timers, ADC, DAC, Flash).
Experience with automotive CAN and CAN‑FD interface.
Experience with Docker, GIT, toolchains (GNU, IAR) and bootloaders, linker scripts.
Board bring‑up and debugging skills (JTAG/SWD, dedicated programming).
Basic DSP building blocks (FIR, IIR, FFT) preferred.
Hardware troubleshooting with logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers.
Benefits Competitive pay and full benefits: health plans, dental, vision, HSA, 401(k) with match, employee stock purchase plans, life insurance, disability, paid holidays, and more.
Compensation: $133,440 – $292,800 annual base + cash and stock awards. The total compensation package may include additional elements depending on the position offered.
