What to Expect

The Chassis Systems Team is looking for a Software Integration Engineer responsible for Parking Brake Software Integration for the Tesla Semi. This is a supplier facing role where you will generate vehicle level and brake system software requirements, work with internal stakeholders and suppliers to implement these requirements and roll features into production. The parking brake system is safety critical and highly available to always ensure the vehicle is in a safe parked state. If designing robust, safety critical, highly reliable systems is your thing, you’ll fit right in.

As a Software Integration Engineer, you will need to wear multiple hats; from writing requirements, prototyping software in-vehicle, managing supplier firmware releases, and developing test approaches for production. You will interact with teams across hardware, vehicle dynamics, safety, manufacturing, and service. You will be challenged to bridge the gap between traditional supplier software development processes and a high velocity iterative vehicle software life cycle. Come join a team of driven, hard-working, and talented engineers, to make these systems a reality. 

What You’ll Do
Own parking brake system components, firmware, and feature roadmaps for Tesla Semi 
Define system and component level software requirements and test criteria 
Implement interfaces, prototype vehicle software, test in-vehicle, and arrive at system functional and performance requirements 
Investigate improvements such as removing latencies, improving accuracy, improving control smoothness, increasing uptime and reliability 
Perform safety analyses, audit supplier safety posture, and ensure safety and homologate compliance of brake system software 
Represent parking brake system development for program decisions, escalate supplier constraints, and lead firmware development and release readiness reviews 

What You’ll Bring
Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Engineering or the equivalent in experience  
Relevant domain experience in brake systems, chassis systems, supplier management, tier-1 automotive supplier or software management 
Experience with networked micro-controllers, CAN or other vehicle networking protocols 
Previous experience with Semi truck physics preferred  
Knowledge of version control (Git) and continuous integration (Jenkins) preferred  
Experience in developing safety-critical or mission-critical software preferred  
Experienced in software fundamentals including software design and maintainability preferred
