Tesla Motors, Inc.
Sr. Data Engineer, Fleet Analytics, Vehicle Software
Tesla Motors, Inc., Palo Alto, California, United States, 94306
What to Expect
Data is deeply embedded in the product and engineering culture at Tesla. We rely on data - lots of it - to improve autopilot, to optimize hardware designs, to proactively detect faults, and to optimize load on the electrical grid. We collect data from each of our cars, Superchargers, and energy storage devices to make these products better and our customers safer.
We're the Fleet Analytics team, a central team that helps many teams leverage the data we collect. We help engineers through direct support by doing data analysis for them and through applications and tools so they can self-serve those analyses in the future. To do so, we leverage our internal data platform built on top of AWS, S3, Spark, Trino using open source data science tools such as Jupyter notebooks, Pandas, Bokeh, Superset, and Airflow. Our work has a direct impact on Tesla's product, and enables the work of hundreds of engineers across disciplines throughout the company.
We're looking for a talented engineer to develop applications which leverage our wealth of device data. These applications will span the full breadth of data engineering, data analysis, and data science activities, taking a first‑principles approach to problem solving to inform future hardware and firmware designs, as well as ensuring that our existing vehicles, chargers, and energy devices continue to perform to Tesla's exacting standards. Applications will include full‑stack web applications, software frameworks to enable efficient training and modeling, and complex systems which drive action. You will be responsible for bringing these applications from concept to production in collaboration with other members of Fleet Analytics, as well as providing ongoing maintenance and community support. In addition, you will occasionally partner with a team focusing on another discipline (e.g., mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or firmware engineering), joining a critical project to help them define product requirements, optimize control algorithms, or otherwise improve the customer experience or product quality.
What You'll Do
Build applications and data pipelines that optimize the efficiency and accuracy of analysis over petabytes of data
Design and implement metrics, applications and tools that will enable engineers by allowing them to self‑serve their data insights
Write clean and tested code that can be maintained and extended by other software engineers
Provide guidance to Tesla's data engineering and data science community regarding best practices
Keep up to date on relevant technologies and frameworks, and propose new ones that the team could leverage
Identify trends, invent new ways of looking at data, and get creative in order to drive improvements in both existing and future products
Give talks, contribute to open source projects, and advanced data science on a global scale
What You'll Bring
Strong proficiency in Python, SQL, and/or Scala
Experience with frontend development in React
Experience writing software in a professional environment
Experience building data pipelines
Experience building web applications
Experience with infrastructure tools - e.g., Linux, Ansible, Docker, Kubernetes
Abie to approach complex problems from a first principle perspective
Smart but humble, with a bias for action
Compensation and Benefits Benefits Along with competitive pay, as a full‑time Tesla employee, you are eligible for the following benefits at day 1 of hire:
Aetna PPO and HSA plans > 2 medical plan options with $0 payroll deduction
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)
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 $124,000 - $186,000/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.
