What to ExpectTesla Energy is looking for a Sr. Firmware Engineer to
bring the next generation of energy storage and vehicle charging products to
the market. The candidate should display enthusiasm for owning the product and
delivering top quality firmware. The responsibilities range from architecting,
implementing, and validating firmware to also supporting production and driving
fleet improvements. This role involves working closely with the Hardware,
Controls and Software teams to deliver production grade safety critical
firmware for AC/DC and DC/DC power converters. This is an opportunity to work
with world class engineering teams that continually push the envelope on power
conversion technology. Our power converters get deployed in Tesla products all
over the world to serve our mission of accelerating the world’s transition to
sustainable energy.What You’ll Do
Write high-quality C code for realtime embedded systems
Firmware development and debugging, code/performance
optimization, create and execute board level test plans to expose weakness
or faults in hardware and firmware
Translate controls algorithms into software
implementation and integrate them into firmware and validation frameworks
Deliver and manage test firmware to support
manufacturing of product assemblies across in-house and external
production facilities
Hands-on hardware bring-up and qualification of power
converters, and lab work as needed to support development/debug activities
through the entire product lifecycle
Work with product deployment teams to track fleet
performance, assess behavioral issues and help drive firmware improvements
to resolve anomalies and deliver new product features
What You’ll Bring
Degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science,
