Software Integration Engineer, Battery Management Systems

What To ExpectTesla's BMS Firmware Integration team ensures new firmware features & hardware are designed, implemented, and tested to achieve our safety & customer experience standard. The Battery Management System is comprised of electronics and firmware that monitor the cells, control high voltage power distribution, and charge the battery. BMS Integration Engineers are responsible for the performance, feature design, and requirements of one or more of these components across Tesla vehicles and Optimus.What You'll Do- Work with the Design and Development Engineers throughout the engineering organization to ensure the relevant subsystems are designed with appropriate requirements, interfaces and interactions to achieve specific vehicle functions- Break down new, high-level feature requests into sub-system & component level requirements, and drive the implementation, testing and release of these features against Tesla's firmware release schedule; utilize critical analysis of potential failure modes and effects to influence these requirements- Develop overall validation strategy for these features and work with validation teams to ensure automated test coverage is implemented for future firmware releases- Work cross-functionally across mechanical, electrical, system architecture, firmware development and firmware validation teams to understand new component-level hardware changes which are being developed and how to support them in firmware – both in manufacturing and for customer use – so that they can be seamlessly introduced to our vehicle platforms- Develop and execute firmware integration test plans on new hardware components and firmware features to rapidly retire risk from new designs and provide feedback to the development teams to accelerate our aggressive development cycles- Dig into data and source code to identify and debug issues at the system level and propose robust solutions- Use AI tools to triage fleet failures and develop insights about product success- Work with manufacturing and service to ensure the function(s) are rolled out and functioning properly. This can include development of processes, diagnostic tools and methods, and root-cause diagnosis for product issues- Develop prototype test setups to integrate new subsystems with simulated and actual vehicle components- Lead and manage integration of initial prototype systems including bring-up, debug, and engineering test of alpha- and beta-phase prototype vehiclesWhat You'll Bring- Degree in Mechatronics, Electrical, Computer Engineering or equivalent experience- Exceptional ability to keep multiple projects moving forwards in parallel- Hands-on technical experience debugging complex systems involving networked microprocessors and software-controlled electrical or electromechanical devices- Proven ability to use programming to solve challenging problems and increase own/team's efficiency through automation- Experience with C or C++ required, Python or SQL is a plus- Ability to interpret system data to gain a full understanding of logged events- Thorough understanding of mechanical fundamentals - and ability to apply them to automotive concepts- Ability to read and understand electrical schematics- Experience with CAN and Ethernet networking is a plus- Experience with Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA) is a plusBenefitsCompensation and BenefitsAlong 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.
