Linux Graphics Engineer, Infotainment Platforms, Vehicle Software

What to Expect

Imagine the fully autonomous future where nobody has to drive—unless for fun—and every car can earn money for the owner. This autonomous future means flawless communications with Autopilot HW/SW to deliver critical driving visualizations, simultaneously supporting an ever-richer suite of entertainment and productivity features for passengers—like theater on wheels, providing immersive media experiences.

Tesla’s Software Platforms team provides the foundational operating system that powers the in-vehicle experience. We are responsible for the core components (kernel, bootloader, drivers, and other userspace services) that enable Tesla's infotainment software ecosystem.
