Tesla Motors, Inc.
Firmware Engineer, Infrastructure & Simulation, Low Voltage Power
Tesla Motors, Inc., Palo Alto, California, United States, 94306
What to Expect
The Low Voltage Power team is responsible for power distribution and LV battery management systems (BMS) on vehicle platforms.
As an engineer on this team, you will architect and implement firmware validation infrastructure, equipment, automation, tooling, and procedures to efficiently test vehicle components and subsystems. This includes, but is not limited to, 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 work closely with Development and Integration Engineers to design and validate the performance capabilities of our hardware and firmware to ensure code quality is high.
Your effort to create and equip the firmware organization with automated validation infrastructure will have a direct impact on the safety, reliability, robustness, and value of our products. Your impact will help the world's acceleration to energy sustainability.
What You’ll Do
Development of discrete simulation software including the modeling of circuitry, hardware peripherals, and emulation of bare-metal drivers. (Python, Rust, C, Docker, Scons)
Design of automated component HIL (hardware-in-the-loop) 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
Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent in experience and evidence of exceptional ability
Minimum of1 year ofrelevant experience in embedded design and validation
Proficiency inPython and comprehension of C (e experience with Rust and Verilog preferred)
Expertise testing devices and debugging hardware (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, DMM)
Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and hardware datasheets
Desire to participate in improving code robustness and designing testing infrastructure
Ability to think creatively and produce "outside of the box" solutions
Experience inelectronicand systemschematic design & capture (Altium Designer), preferred
Experience designing or interfacing withHardware/Software-in-the-loop (HIL/SIL)testsetups, preferred
Knowledge of source control (Git), continuous integration via Github, Docker, Jenkins, preferred
Compensation and Benefits Benefits

Family-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefits
Dental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both have options with a $0 paycheck contribution
Company Paid (Health Savings Account) HSA Contribution when enrolled in the High Deductible Aetna medical plan with HSA
Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)li>
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
