Firmware Engineer, Infrastructure

What to ExpectThe 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 DoDevelopment 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 requirementsLeverage a deep understanding of vehicle system behaviors to evaluate code and functional changes holistically, mitigate risk, and provide high-quality feedback throughout the product lifecycleDrive innovation, quality and performance of vehicle software by pioneering novel validation infrastructure and tooling, and by enhancing simulation engine fidelity and user experienceScale existing validation coverage and optimize build efficiency to leverage cluster computing resourcesExplore methods to measure and metrics to evaluate the quality, coverage, and traceability of automated regression testsWhat You'll BringDegree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent in experience and evidence of exceptional abilityMinimum of 1 year of relevant experience in embedded design and validationProficiency in Python and comprehension of C (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 datasheetsDesire to participate in improving code robustness and designing testing infrastructureAbility to think creatively and produce "outside of the box" solutionsExperience in electronic and system schematic design & capture (Altium Designer), preferredExperience designing or interfacing with Hardware/Software-in-the-loop (HIL/SIL) test setups, preferredKnowledge of source control (Git), continuous integration via Github, Docker, Jenkins, preferredCompensation and BenefitsBenefitsAlong 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 deductionFamily-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefitsDental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both have options with a $0 paycheck contributionCompany Paid (Health Savings Account) HSA Contribution when enrolled in the High Deductible Aetna medical plan with HSAHealthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefitsCompany paid Basic Life, AD&D, short-term and long-term disability insuranceEmployee Assistance ProgramSick and Vacation time (Flex time for salary positions), and Paid HolidaysBack-up childcare and parenting support resourcesVoluntary benefits to include: critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insuranceWeight Loss and Tobacco Cessation ProgramsTesla Babies programCommuter benefitsEmployee discounts and perks programExpected Compensation$133,440 - $292,800/annual salary + cash and stock awards + benefitsPay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
