Tesla Motors, Inc.
What to Expect
As an ActiveSafety Engineer at Tesla, you will work to ensure that our vehicles meet and exceed global safety standards. You will be responsible for vehicle-level homologation and validation of active safety and crash-avoidance systems in alignment with FMVSS/CMVSS 100-series, ECE and NHTSA NCAP requirements. You will also play a key role in testing and validating Automated Driving System (ADS) vehicles using both manual track testing and simulation-based methodologies to confirm compliance with existing and upcoming FMVSS updates as regulations evolve over time. What You'll Do
Plan and execute vehicle level active safety tests as per FMVSS 100-series, ECE and NHTSA NCAP standards Lead NCAP crash-avoidance evaluations (AEB, FCW, LDW/LKA, PAEB, BSI/BSW, etc.) and support AP team Develop and validate ADS test plans that combine manual driving and simulation to assess compliance with current and future FMVSS requirements Instrument and configure test vehicles ensuring accurate data capture and safe operation Schedule and manage proving-ground activities, coordinating global resources and test facilities Analyze, visualize and report test data using internal tools Work with Integration team to simulate physical results to evaluate ADS performance Collaborate cross-functionally with ADAS/ADS software, controls and homologation teams to ensure performance meets regulatory and internal safety targets Continuously refine Tesla's active safety and ADS validation processes to align with evolving NCAP and FMVSS protocols Maintain calibration, verification, and traceability for all data-acquisition and measurement systems (Link, Dewesoft, VBOX, OxTS, etc.) What You'll Bring
Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Automotive or Systems Engineering or equivalent experience 3+ years of experience in vehicle testing, active safety, ADAS/ADS validation for homologation activities Proven hands-on experience with proving-ground testing, data-acquisition systems and instrumentation (accelerometers, lux sensors, thermocouples, IMUs, analog sensors) Working knowledge of FMVSS/CMVSS 100-series, ECE, and NHTSA NCAP crash-avoidance test protocols Experience with ADS/ADAS feature testing in both physical and simulation environments Familiarity with vehicle dynamics, braking systems, and driver-assist control logic Proficiency in MATLAB, Python, JIRA, MS Office and test-data visualization tools Excellent communication and organizational skills with a passion for safety innovation Valid driver's license and ability to travel up to 30-40% including domestic and international proving-ground activities Understanding of vehicle network architectures (CAN, LIN, Ethernet) and ADAS/ADS sensors 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 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
$80,000 - $174,000/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.
