What to Expect

Come join a team of dynamic and deeply knowledgeable Engineers that strive to build the most robust and reliable embedded systems that run EV charging systems and the renewable microgrids that power them. You will contribute to solving some of the most exciting problems in the embedded software space and change the way the world produces electric vehicles and delivers energy. 

In this role, you will be working with the ardware and control teams to design, implement, and test software running on embedded platforms that control switching power converters. You will be responsible for delivering high quality embedded code, power electronic controllers, and DSP peripherals running on the processors at the heart of Tesla vehicles and production lines. 

The work is exciting and fun, pushing the technology envelope in an open, collaborative, and supportive environment. Help us put clean energy in our amazing vehicles, and work with a diverse team around the world deploying reliable power to all corners of the globe. 

What You’ll Do

Develop, enhance and debug new and existing real-time firmware in C for power conversion systems 
Deliver high-quality C code in a safety critical real-time embedded environment 
Work closely with the hardware and control teams to specify hardware actuation and sensing requirements. Develop and optimize firmware, along with peripheral drivers and control systems for switching power electronics 
Specify, design, and implement functionality and behaviors of embedded subsystems 
Drive firmware development for performance, scalability, robustness, and tight integration with the hardware 
Hands-on with hardware bring up, build and enforce component validation for delivering robust, functional code 
Implement continuous improvements and best practices within the team, and larger organization 
Collaboration with other engineering groups inside Tesla 

What You’ll Bring

2+ years of relevant experience in real-time embedded software development 
Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or the equivalent in experience  
Proficiency in C
