Tesla What To Expect Tesla Energy accelerates the world’s transition to sustainable energy. We do that by building some of the most successful residential energy products in the world. You may know about Powerwall, our class-defining solar-integrated battery that helps customers all over the world save money and stabilizes the grid in California, Texas, and Puerto Rico on a regular basis. And then there’s Powershare, which lets customers power their home with their Tesla vehicle, and so much more.
The Tesla Energy Residential Device Software team is looking for a Validation Software/Firmware Engineer to architect automated test frameworks, design validation infrastructure, and collaborate with software firmware developers to accelerate development cycles while maintaining rigorous standards. Your work will directly impact product robustness and empower engineers to deploy firmware updates with confidence.
What You'll Do
Design and deploy advanced automated test frameworks for embedded Linux and RTOS-based products Develop software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test systems using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and custom automation Create actionable test reports to track code coverage, regression metrics, and release readiness Reverse-engineer complex systems to identify edge cases and failure modes Collaborate with cross-functional teams to refine validation strategies and troubleshoot issues Drive adoption of best practices for test automation, CI/CD, code robustness, and infrastructure scalability
What You'll Bring
Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience Experience in embedded systems validation, firmware testing, or related fields Hands-on expertise with hardware debugging tools (oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, etc.) Strong understanding of software development in systems languages (e.g. C, C++, Rust), Linux software architecture, embedded firmware (e.g. RTOS), and communication protocols (Ethernet, CAN, RS485, etc.) Ability to translate complex requirements into scalable test solutions
